If you’re dreaming of a romantic and elegant Hensol Castle wedding, Paula and Alex’s celebration is sure to inspire. Hidden in the Welsh countryside, Hensol Castle provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Editorial Bridal Portraits at Hensol Castle

The day began in the serene bridal suite of Hensol Castle, where Paula and her family prepared for the wedding ceremony. With natural light flooding the room and timeless details all around, every moment was picture-perfect. Paula’s bridal look was effortlessly classic—her gown flowing like poetry and her joy radiant in every frame.

Before the ceremony, we captured a series of editorial-style bridal portraits by the lake. The stillness of the water, the lush green backdrop, and the soft morning light created an ethereal setting. Paula stood at the edge of the dock in her elegant gown, her reflection dancing across the surface—a scene as timeless as it was cinematic.

Paula’s little brother and sister, Miguel and Celina, played the sweet roles of ring bearer and flower girl, bringing a touch of family charm to the morning preparations.

A Hensol Castle Wedding Ceremony to Remember

Held in the castle’s grand ceremony room, Paula walked down the aisle with her father —a touching and emotional entrance. A string quartet set the tone, adding a timeless elegance as guests looked on. The ceremony concluded with a joyful confetti shower and portraits outside the castle, surrounded by the historic architecture and lush grounds.

Brazilian Guests, Magical Moments, and Personal Touches

With friends flying in from Brazil, Paula and Alex made sure to include them in key moments throughout the day—from pre-ceremony photos to candid snapshots after the “I do’s.” The couple’s attention to detail and heartwarming hospitality were woven into every part of the celebration.

During the drinks and canapés reception, guests were treated to a live magician, bringing whimsy and wonder to the castle halls.

Wedding Breakfast & Evening Highlights

Guests were seated for the wedding breakfast at 4:00 PM, with Paula and Alex making their grand entrance shortly after. The room was adorned with flower urns, bud vases on the mantlepiece, and elegant decor that reflected the couple’s vision beautifully.

After speeches and cake cutting, the evening transitioned into a celebration to remember. Paula changed into a second dress before the champagne tower —a sparkling moment full of glamour and celebration.

 

A Private First Dance to End the Night

As the evening sun set Paula and Alex shared a private first dance, just the two of them and the band—a deeply intimate and emotional moment. As the music swelled, the band began playing and guests joined the dance floor, marking the start of a night filled with joy, dancing, and unforgettable memories.
