Inspired by James Bond, this shoot has it all from stand out flowers to showstopping scenery

Local photographer, Oliver Rees worked with a group of talented suppliers to create these stunning images. He tells us: "We wanted to create a styled shoot which showcased strength, love, passion and elegance. We took inspiration from the film Skyfall and used bold colours and striking poses to show off the powerful models. Utilising the gorgeous backdrop of South Wales, a nearby castle ruin and our character-filled venue, Court Colman Manor, we were able to bring our vision to life. Make-up artist, Hayley Drew let her creativity flow and styled our model, Lowri Beth, and we finished the look with vintage pieces by Vintage Adornments and floral arrangements from Elyn Boutique."

Penmaenuchaf completes transformation

Set beneath the slopes of Cadair Idris and overlooking the Mawddach Estuary, Penmaenuchaf has completed a four-year transformation reimagining the historic country house as one of Wales' most distinctive luxury retreats. Shaped by the Welsh concept of hiraeth, a deep emotional connection to place and a longing for somewhere that feels like home, the refurbishment was created in collaboration with renowned interior designer Nicola Harding, and brings together Welsh landscape, craftsmanship and storytelling across all fourteen bedrooms and the hotel's shared spaces. The final phase of the project marks the completion of a carefully considered programme. The remaining five bedrooms have been individually redesigned and named after Welsh landscapes, historical figures and mythology.

Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.
