How It Began

Our Story

We met in the water at Freshwater West on a grey March morning — Julian paddling out before the wind picked up, Amelia sat on the sand with a flask of tea, insisting she was only there for the view.

He gave up on the swell for an hour. She still hasn't been in past her knees. Somewhere between then and now there were campervan weekends, a lot of sandy bedsheets, and one ring buried in a rockpool for slightly too dramatic a proposal.

We're getting married on the same stretch of coast where it started, and we'd love nothing more than for you to be there.

Getting Here

Travel & Stay

By Car

About 2.5 hours from Cardiff, 1 hour from Haverfordwest station. Free parking at both venues, but the lanes are narrow — a lift-share is appreciated.

By Train

Nearest station is Haverfordwest. Let us know your arrival time and we'll help sort a lift down to the coast.

Where to Stay

We've held a block of rooms at the Angle Bay Inn, a short drive from Freshwater West. Mention the wedding when booking.

What to Bring

Wellies or flat shoes for the sand, a warm layer for after dark, and swimwear if you fancy a dip once the toasts are done.

With Gratitude

Registry

Having you there on the sand is the main event. If you'd still like to give something, we've set up a small honeymoon fund for our next surf trip.

Good to Know

FAQ

What should I wear?
Beach smart — think linen, not heels. The ceremony is on sand, and it's Pembrokeshire, so bring a layer for once the sun goes down.
What happens if the weather turns?
We're getting married on a beach in Wales, so we've made peace with a bit of wind. If it's genuinely wild, the ceremony moves to The Boathouse and we'll let everyone know that morning.
Why is the ceremony timed around the tide?
Freshwater West is at its best at low tide, when the sand stretches right out. We've built the whole afternoon around it, so do arrive on time.
Are children welcome?
We adore your little ones, but we've decided to keep the day adults-only, with the exception of immediate family.
Can I bring a board?
Always. There'll be time for a paddle before the ceremony if the swell is behaving — just don't be late to your own seat.
