As the spooky night that is Halloween approaches, we have a lovely treat for you (no tricks sorry). Lynsey & Jason had a brilliant Halloween themed wedding at Margam Orangery. We’re so excited to share this with you today. If you too are planning an unusual wedding, we think you’ll love all the effort and detail that went into making this day truly memorable. It looks such great fun, we wish we were invited! All images by Catherine & Angharad .
