Cripps Barn – Two Photographers

Couples getting married at Cripps Barn often ask the question “why should we invest in two photographers ?” Hopefully, by seeing the set of images below, you will see the benefits of booking Chris and me to photograph your wedding and see how we shoot in completely different ways even when covering the same scene.  Having a husband and wife team that work together all the time has tremendous benefits over a single photographer or a photographer who relies on assistants.  We always work together and know where each other is at any given time during the day and by working Read More

Kingscote Barn – Katie & Nathan’s Winter Wedding

Chris & I were very excited to be returning to Kingscote Barn for the umpteenth time, this time for the Winter Wedding of Katie & Nathan. I headed for Wills Cottage and Chris went to the Barn to photograph the groom’s party and guests arriving. I was greeted by Katie and her bridesmaids dressed in matching blue PJ’s, drinking champagne and the smell of bacon wafting down the drive. Toby, the resident farm dog and I had the same idea, ummmm bacon sarnies and although I was offered one, I declined and poor Toby was just left licking his lips, Read More

Cripps Barn Wedding – Vicki & Chris

What a great day to get married at Cripps Barn: our wedding anniversary! We’ve photographed a couple of weddings on previous anniversaries and it was lovely to share Vicki & Chris’ special day. Vicki’s bouquet contained her Grandmother’s favourite flower; a Scabious, it was lovely to see this personal touch of remembrance and the bridesmaids’ dresses, flowers and cake all reflected the colour scheme of shades of lavender. Vicki’s sister, Claire had made the cake and it was decorated with sugared Grape Hyacinths. The couple’s Jack Russell Terrier, Rufus was keen to have his back massaged whilst Vicki was having Read More

Kingscote Barn – Father & Daughter

Chris was already in the ceremony room at Kingscote Barn taking photos of a nervous Nathan when I captured this beautiful moment showing Katie & her Dad just before they walked down the aisle.  It’s always very important that the bride and groom take a few minutes out of their busy day to just ‘take it all in’ and Katie looks like she is doing just that.   So…… pause, relax and enjoy. To see more of our photos including weddings photographed at Kingscote Barn, please see our website.       Read More

Stone Barn – A different perspective

Chris & I had a very busy couple of days exhibiting at the Stone Barn.  The venue decided to open their doors on Friday evening so that couples could experience Stone Barn at night: romantic candles, twinkling lights, roaring log fires and of course, that huge barbecue.   We were also there on the Saturday, a very cold, crisp day with blue skies.  They were running a competition to upload pictures to #stonebarnopenday and we decided to submit some photos so that couples can see a different perspective of the barn.  Of course, we love photographing weddings at both Stone Barn and Cripps Read More

Cripps Barn – Vicki & Chris’ Wedding

It’s so nice when couples use our images for their ‘Thank You’ cards and we love the one chosen by Vicki & Chris. This is one of our favourite images from their day; the couple are lost in their own little world and the landscape shot looks great with its distant cloud formations. Such a lovely thank you too: “Dear Gillian & Chris, apologies this is a little late in coming but we wanted to write to thank you for photographing our wedding day on 18th September at Cripps Barn. We absolutely love our photos, they really capture every carefully Read More

Great Tythe Barn Wedding – Danielle & Matt

Danielle & Matt’s Great Tythe Barn Wedding was great fun, starting with a church ceremony in the pretty church of St Peter’s in Stratton and finishing with the ‘Hot Shots’ Band rocking the barn. As guests gathered outside the church on this lovely, summers day, Matt waited inside nervously whilst the ushers were swigging from a hip flask which I can only presume contained something stronger than squash! I know the ceremony is the official part of the day but there is something about a good confetti shot which makes me smile, it’s like the start of the fun for the Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding – Two Photographers

We are Chris & Gillian, a husband and wife photography team and we love photographing weddings at Kingscote Barn. Katie & Nathan were a great couple, very relaxed so posed photos were certainly out (thank goodness!).  Having two photographers meant I could stay with Katie whilst she was getting ready at Will’s Cottage and Chris remained with Nathan & the groom’s party at Spring Cottage.  The girls had a really fun morning, the smell of the bacon sarnies brought the farm dog, Toby running to see us but unfortunately, we couldn’t let him in because of his muddy paws.  The fire Read More

Kingscote Barn – Katy & Graeme’s Wedding

We love receiving thank yous, whether they are via e-mail, a beautiful card, carrier pigeon or a crate of champagne (in our dreams!).  Here’s a little snippet from Katy & Graeme; “We just wanted to send a quick email to say a huge thank you. You and Chris were absolutely brilliant and really helped to put us at ease, the day really was perfect – thank you so much for being a part of it.  We’re so glad we chose you as our photographers.”  –  Outdoor Ceremony at Kingscote Barn Read More

Caswell House Oxfordshire

Chris and I are really looking forward to Becky & Phil’s wedding this weekend at Caswell House; a beautiful Cotswold barn venue in Oxfordshire.  After a few chilly days towards the end of July, let’s hope summer returns for August.  With flagstone floors, honey-coloured Cotswold stone walls and oak beams, the renovated barns looked absolutely stunning when we visited recently.  The courtyard will be perfect for their drinks reception and the beautiful moat, bridge and lavender bordered gardens, will provide a perfect backdrop for our photos when we whisk Becky & Phil off for some quiet time together. This perfect exclusive Oxfordshire wedding Read More
