Fflur and Edwyn's portrait session in Bala

17/05/2012 Fflur and Edwyn’s portrait session in Bala

Let’s be honest, being a wedding photographer in North Wales is truly a privilege! From Mold to Caernafon, Portmeirion to Denbigh, Criccieth and Llithfaen, North Wales offers a wide array of beautiful and inspiring settings for your big day or, as it’s the case here, for your pre-wedding shoot!

Edwyn and Fflur came to us after hearing about Celynnen Photography through a friend and were a bit nervous about the pre-wedding shoot, like most people. But I think you can agree that they look rather good!

Can’t wait until their wedding at the Bron Eifion Country House Hotel!

28/03/2012 Jenny and Carl’s family portraits in Chester’s Grosvenor Park!

After Erin and Jann, it was Jenny and Carl’s turn to come back to Celynnen Photography with the latest addition to their family: Baby Jasmine! It was lovely to take pictures of them in Grosvenor Park because it was just a short distance from where we had done their pre-wedding shoot a couple of years ago! One of the pictures not only made our favorite of the year list but it was also used in a brochure for Chester! We also were the photographers for Jenny and Carl ’s beautiful wedding at the Chester Grosvenor in Chester. We were really excited when Carl called us again to book Jasmine’s first portrait session and we hope we get to have many more so we can see her grow into a gorgeous young lady!

If you would like your own family portrait session, have a look at our Facebook album which features sessions in Cheshire, on the Wirral, North Wales, etc. You can also search our blog by using the little search box in the left! But contact us soon as the summer weekends are getting booked up!

26/03/2012 Jann, Erin and Baby Ella!

Remember Erin and Jann? A couple of years ago, we started with their pre-wedding portraits and then their wedding in Portmeirion and now…they have a baby!

Every Celynnen Photography client is important but what we love best is when we are able to build a relationship with them and that they come back to us for other important moments! So it was a pleasure and an honour to go back to meet the latest addition to the family and as you can see, she is not only gorgeous, but very much loved indeed!

23/03/2012 Jo and Reinhardt: Love in Delamere Forest

When 2 people so in love with each other allow you to capture moments they share together, you realise what a privilege it is to be a portrait or wedding photographer.

I met Jo though the Chester Grosvenor for which we are the Prefered Photographer. Unfortunately, Celynnen Photography were unavailable for Reinhardt and Jo’s wedding at Combermere Abbey but it was an honour to do their pre-wedding shoot in Delamere Forest, a place close to Jo’s heart. It was lovely to get to know them more and witness how supportive they were of each other. I predict they will spend many, many happy years together.

22/03/2012 Emma and Chris’s Pre-wedding portraits in Manchester (not what you would expect!)

When people think about the industrial revolution, they don’t necessarily think of beautiful parks and peaceful walks, but that’s what we found when we visited Bridgewater Canal with Emma and Chris for their pre-wedding shoot! We met after being recommended by the Bron Eifion country House Hotel in Criccieth, a wedding venue in Snowdonia Celynnen Photography knows very well. Both a bit nervous about having their picture taken, I think they look rather good myself!

Can’t wait to show you the wedding pictures!

19/02/2012 Have your family portraits done the way YOU like them!

Celynnen Photography have been doing family photography in Wrexham, Chester, the Wirral and much further afield now for a considerable time and we are proud of our loyal clientele who keep coming back as their family grows! Part of it can perhaps be explained by our flexibility! Whether it’s in a park, with a seasonal theme or at home using a variety of backgrounds, we always come to where you are most comfortable for your portrait photography.

The advantage over a studio setting is clear. It’s much easier to take pictures of children in an environment in which they are comfortable! It also means that if you are with us for one of our newborn sessions, everything for your child’s comfort is at hand!

Here are a few pictures from a session we did for a playgroup in Chester, another way to organise your family portraits while raising money for your playgroup!

Hope to capture your family’s smiles soon!

30/12/2011 Sandra and Amanda’s pre-wedding portraits in Delamere Forest

Sandra and Amanda are getting married at the beautiful Hargate Hall very soon and we cannot wait!! Like all our same-sex civil partnership clients, they made the most of our pre-wedding portrait offer! And as they have a lovely dog named Bramble (how cute is that name?!) we had him tag along too!!

Celynnen Photography have worked with same-sex couples since the very beginning and it’s always a great honour to be trusted for such a special ceremony. When I asked Sandra and Amanda why they chose us instead of a Gay wedding photographer, their answer is one that really touched me. They said that the important thing for them was to make sure that they felt comfortable with their photographer and that they didn’t feel judged, which is the same thing with all couples really. Picking your wedding photographer is not only about pictures and prices, it’s about making sure you know you will be able to feel at ease with the professional you’ve picked for fun and natural pictures!

Anyways, enough chatting, here are the pictures!
By the way, another reason why it was such a privilege to work with these two is that through sheer determination and by changing life habits, Sandra (the one with the longer hair) dropped an amazing SIX DRESS SIZES in 11 months! I’ve seen her change so much since I’ve known her, it’s an honour to know someone with such determination and that is showing us that if you REALLY want it, you can do it..

She is one of the most inspirational people I know!
More on Sandra’s story in the February edition of Weight Watchers

Can’t wait till the big day!!

04/12/2011 Sikander Malik – Moving on from Hollyoaks

I met Sikander Malik, aka Jamil of Hollyoaks during an interesting evening with Save the Family and I remember him saying at the time: “Nice meeting you! We should work together one day!”
Having worked with a few actors and athletes, it’s something I’ve heard many times before but it generally never comes to anything. So I politely replied: “Yeah sure! That would be great.” and forgot about it…

About 10-11 months later, I find him on twitter and he asks about the shoot again! Immediately I knew that he was someone of his word! So we met at New Brighton on the Wirral and shot until the local high school’s day finished and over-excited teens started turning up!

On behalf of Celynnen Photography, I would like to thank you for being a man of your word and we are all looking forward to seeing you in your new acting ventures!

This is what Sikander had to say about working with Celynnen Photography:

““Ioan Said is a brilliant photographer, with a keen eye to detail and a creative style which is flexible and adaptable to each and every situation. Whether that is a wedding, a social function, a modelling photo shoot session or other. He is a gentleman and his personal qualities as a person shine through his work, making it very easy to work with him – and he is always open to ideas and suggestions (always the sign of a knowledgeable and experienced photographer). I have worked with Ioan twice, once during a charity event where Ioan had been hired to shoot the event for the papers, and the second time recently for my own personal portfolio. As an actor and model, it is very important to me to be able to work with someone I feel comfortable with, and who I know will bring out the best in the final product. Ioan provides an excellent service – and is a lovely guy too! I recommend Ioan and Celynnen Photography to anyone if you not only want a fantastic final outcome, but also if you want to actually have fun during the shoot! Sikander Malik”September 22, 2011″
