Sant Ffraed House Wedding Photography
A More Natural Approach to Wedding Photography
Here are some examples of my Sant Ffraed House wedding photography that I have created for previous bride and grooms. Previously known as Llansantffraed Court, it sits on an estate that dates back to the 12th century. In 2021 the property was purchased by the Oldwalls Collection, which operates several wedding venues, namely Oldwalls and Fairyhill. A total refurbishment took place to re-open as an fabulous new and exclusive wedding venue. Nestled in a small parish of 290 acres, sitting in between the towns of Raglan and Abergavenny in the county of Monmouthshire, South Wales.
“You captured the day so perfectly and we are so excited to sit down later to fully look through every single photograph.”
“Thank you again so much for being a part of our day, and making us feel so at ease. We will hopefully see you at another wedding soon!”

The estate included farmland, a 14th century church of St Bride’s and the Grade II listed manor house. Sant Ffraed House was built in the style of William and Mary and stands within 20 acres of private park land, complete with ornamental lake and fountain. Its long sweeping driveway runs through glorious rural views before arriving at the elegant grandeur of the court. Designed in 1912 by Fairfax Blomfield WadePalmer, an English architect responsible for several historically listed buildings. The project was commissioned by the Herbert family, who were major landowners in the area. For much of its live, the house has been run as a hotel.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Monmouthshire countryside, Sant Ffraed House is a truly stunning venue for couples looking to tie the knot. With its charming blend of classic architecture, lush gardens, and spectacular surroundings, it’s no wonder that it has become one of the most sought-after locations for weddings in the region. The grandeur and beauty of this estate offer countless opportunities for breathtaking wedding photography, making it a photographer’s dream.
Sant Ffraed House is steeped in history, and its architectural beauty provides the perfect backdrop for couples looking to capture timeless images. The house itself, with its Georgian elegance, offers a blend of both traditional and modern features, ideal for a range of wedding styles. Whether it’s a sophisticated indoor ceremony in the elegant ballroom or a relaxed outdoor celebration in the stunning gardens, the versatility of the venue ensures that wedding photographers have an array of unique settings to capture the day in its entirety.
The magnificent façade of the house, with its classic columns and detailed stonework, creates a regal backdrop for the couple’s portraits. The grandeur of the house paired with the rich tones of the surrounding landscape evokes a sense of timeless elegance, ensuring that your wedding photos will not only reflect the beauty of your day but also the heritage of the venue itself.
“I wanted to let you know that we were absolutely thrilled with our photographs and you captured our day perfectly.”
“We have had so much pleasure looking back at the photographs that you created for us and we loved your unobtrusive style and how relaxed you made everyone. So many of our guests also commented on what wonderful photos you took and we have already recommended you to others.”

“Sacha was fantastic! I was very specific in wanting to capture the narrative of the day and that I wanted atmosphere over posed photographs.”
“I have a background in Fine Art and Sacha was the only wedding photographer I liked, so I was very happy that he was able to do our wedding. He even ran into the sea with us for some quirky shots in the wind and rain! He never complained despite getting soaked and the photos captured such a beautiful vibe of the day. I would highly recommend him.”
