Big Congratulations to Fatemeh & Michael


A huge congratulations to the wonderful Fatemeh and Michael, who celebrated their wedding last weekend at the majestic Bangor University.


Their ceremony took place within one of North Wales’ most grand and atmospheric wedding settings, surrounded by history, elegance and beautiful architectural detail. From the impressive interiors to the quiet corners, hallways and university grounds, Bangor University gave the day a real sense of occasion and timeless character.


What made the day especially beautiful was the way Persian traditions were woven so naturally throughout the celebration. These meaningful details brought warmth, family connection and cultural richness into the day, creating a wedding that felt deeply personal to Fatemeh and Michael.


Kate Rostance led the ceremony with warmth and care, creating space for the couple’s story, their promises and the people closest to them. It was a ceremony full of feeling, with quiet moments, joyful reactions and the kind of honest emotion that makes wedding photography so meaningful.


Fatemeh and Michael were such a beautiful couple to photograph. Their connection, kindness and the way they moved through the day together made every part of the celebration feel effortless. From natural documentary moments to elegant portraits around the university, it was a real honour to capture their wedding story.


It was also a pleasure to work alongside Tony Hassall Films, helping document the day in both stills and film so the couple can relive those memories for years to come.


Fatemeh and Michael, thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special day. It was an absolute honour to photograph your wedding, and I wish you both every happiness for your future together.
