An Elegant Fusion of Cultures at Garthmyl Hall in Wales
Portraits by Lumière Photography
I’ve already shared how much I love Garthmyl Hall, so it won’t surprise you that I adored this wedding. I fall in love with my couples—seeing them so in love, so sweet, so open to each other. Hearing what people who know them say, discovering their best sides, and understanding what makes them so special as individuals and to each other is one of the joys of being a wedding photographer.
I love all weddings, but I have a special fondness for multicultural —perhaps because my husband is Gujarati and our wedding was a blend of traditions too. But this isn’t about me—this is about Sejna and Jimmy, who beautifully intertwined Indian and Irish traditions for a wedding filled with colour and joy.
A Celebration of Indian & Irish Traditions
The day began with the couple getting ready with their wedding parties, while little ones were fed and cared for so they could be happy during the ceremony. The groom arrived with his family, warmly welcomed by his Indian in-laws as part of the traditional rituals.
Once the rituals were complete, the bride arrived and was revealed. The couple exchanged garlands. The Irish side of the family, curious about the traditions, were given explanations so everyone could feel involved and connected to the moment.
After a short break to relax, grab a drink, and socialise, it was time for the registry wedding—then came the rings and, of course, the kiss! Following the outdoor garden ceremony, guests enjoyed a laid-back atmosphere, revising their speeches, listening to music, congratulating the newlyweds, and we took a few group and couple photos, all very relaxed. With the long summer daylight stretching into the evening, the celebrations continued inside and outside the marquee, with the speeches, the meal, kids —and adults— played outside, until the party.
A Dream Wedding Venue: Garthmyl Hall
They chose a venue away from everything, as they wanted a mini getaway, where guests could stay overnight, relax, and enjoy the day without rushing—and Garthmyl Hall was the perfect place for that. It is a classical venue and the Indian photos and statues fitted perfectly beautifully.
Garthmyl Hall is a stunning exclusive-use wedding venue in Wales, offering magnificent views, elegant interiors, and beautiful gardens filled with character. It’s homely yet grand, stylish yet relaxed—a perfect setting for a wedding that feels both personal and unforgettable.
With a licensed gazebo for outdoor ceremonies, a ballroom for intimate gatherings, and a marquee for up to 160 guests, it provides the flexibility to create a wedding that truly reflects each couple’s vision.
