Harriet & Christofer’s Chic Summer Wedding at Hafod Farm
As a North Wales wedding photographer, weddings like this at Hafod Farm make me realise how lucky I am to have such beauty on my doorstep.
A Transatlantic Love Story: Harriet & Christofer’s Chic Summer Wedding at Hafod Farm
In the heart of North Wales, beneath the warm July sun and surrounded by rolling hills. Harriet and Christofer tied the knot in one of the most effortlessly stylish celebrations I’ve photographed — a beautiful summer wedding at Hafod Farm, where I worked as their wedding photographer in the heart of North Wales. Their wedding at Hafod Farm brought together timeless elegance, rustic charm, and a perfect blend of Welsh and American influences – all wrapped in a fashion-forward, editorial aesthetic.
From North Wales to the USA – and Back Again for the Big Day
Harriet, originally from North Wales, and Christofer, whose family flew in from the United States, now live in the US. Their wedding was not just a coming together of two people, but of two cultures and two continents – all celebrated in the scenic surroundings of Hafod Farm. Guests were welcomed into a celebration that felt deeply personal, meaningful, and beautifully styled.
Wedding Photography at Hafod Farm: A Dreamy Backdrop for Editorial Images
Hafod Farm is a North Wales venue that perfectly balances rustic charm with a soft, natural elegance – and it’s an absolute dream for couples wanting stylish, high-end wedding photography. With textured barns, sweeping views, and golden light, every frame feels like it belongs in the pages of Vogue.
Elegant Green Tones and Thoughtful Cultural Details
The styling was a masterclass in how to keep things refined yet meaningful. Handmade glass daffodils paired with Welsh and American flags on each table reflected both heritage and artistry. Wooden place names brought in a rustic note that matched the barn setting perfectly.
Their colour palette was bold but sophisticated—green bridesmaid dresses, green groomsmen’s suits, and green stationery gave the day cohesion without being overly styled. Every detail felt elevated yet personal.
Bridal Fashion with a Luxury Editorial Feel
Harriet was stunned in a gown from Bellissima Brides, choosing a look that felt timeless and refined. The incredibly talented Kimberley Bridal Hair Design and Annie Elizabeth Hair styled her hair, creating a look that was equal parts elegant and effortless. It was the kind of bridal styling that would feel at home on a runway or an editorial feature.
Food, Cake, and Celebration with Style
The couple’s catering was provided by Outside Gourmet catering, offering a relaxed but luxe dining experience that brought a touch of al fresco charm. Their cake – a beautifully styled creation by Lakeside Bakes – was topped with a custom piece by Diy Crossing, giving it just the right amount of playful personality.
A Ceremony Full of Emotion, Music, and Meaning
The couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt, bespoke ceremony led by Willow Bespoke Ceremonies, bringing together laughter, tears, and a sense of calm elegance that set the tone for the entire day. During the golden hour, the soft harp melodies of Harpist Rhianwen floated through the air, bringing an ethereal vibe to the atmosphere. As the sun dipped behind the hills, the energy shifted and the evening truly came alive thanks to the incredible sounds of The Cover Lovers, keeping the dance floor buzzing well into the night.
