It is an ideal place for couples to celebrate their wedding day and have their love story captured through beautiful photographs.

A skilled wedding photographer understands the nuances of this unique venue and uses its whimsical backdrop to frame moments of intimacy, laughter, and pure joy, creating lasting memories for the couple.

Giraffe Shed Wedding Highlights

I wanted to share the highlights of Emily and Nathan’s beautiful elopement wedding at The Giraffe Shed. They brought their baby and two friends as witnesses. They told all other friends and family they were having a mini holiday.

I adore the moments where the raw emotion and genuine connection shared between the couple shines through. One of my favourite photographs is of Emily just popping her leg up during the confetti moment, her joy echoing through the rustic surroundings of The Giraffe Shed. Another photograph captures Nathan’s joy as he sprays the prosecco and relaxes. These moments of pure authenticity and profound intimacy epitomize the beauty and significance of their elopement, and they are timeless treasures that will be cherished for years to come.

The Giraffe Shed as a Wedding Venue

Found in Newtown in one of the most rural settings for a wedding venue I have been to is the incredible alternative wedding venue, The Giraffe Shed. What sets The Giraffe Shed apart is its captivating setting and attention to photographic backgrounds, and it is not surprising that a former wedding photographer designed it. Blending industrial chic with rustic elegance creates a unique atmosphere for couples to exchange vows.

The Giraffe shed has high ceilings with brick and steel beams. The space is enormous, yet it has a cosy feel to it. It is an alternative wedding venue, and it is for you if you have a creative side.

The Black Box is an incredible outdoor area perfect for drinks, fun photo opportunities and enjoying the open countryside. You will love the creative input into the area, and everywhere has a modern and rustic twist, all set in incredible Welsh countryside.

Photographer near The Giraffe Shed

I live an hour’s drive from the Giraffe Shed, which makes me a local to the venue, and to top it off, I’m Welsh! Since I’ve photographed at the venue, I know where I’m going and what to expect when I get there. This gives me a head start on the day.

I used Google Sat Nav to navigate and it led me straight to the entrance of The Giraffe Shed. Although the roads seemed to go on forever, and I felt lost in the middle of nowhere, I trusted the Sat Nav and kept going. Finally, The Giraffe Shed appeared like magic!
