Bay Tree Burford Wedding Photography – Zara & Leigh’s Wedding

Bay Tree Burford Wedding Photography.  We returned to The Bay Tree in Burford for the umpteenth time, the only difference now being that the hotel had had a ‘makeover’, we love the new dining room décor. Zara and her bridal party were getting ready upstairs so I headed up there whilst Chris went to find the groom and his party. It was lovely to see the two flowergirls, Poppy & Tilly spellbound by the bridal gown, the expressions on their faces just said ‘a real princess’ dress. Zara & Leigh had been hoping for an outdoor civil ceremony and their Read More

Sarah & Martin’s Wedding – The Close Hotel, Tetbury

We received a lovely thank you from Sarah & Martin “Thank you so much for the photos they are fantastic! You and Chris have really captured the atmosphere & relaxed nature of our special day, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The photographs are beyond our expectations, and help to ‘re-live’ our wedding – creating a most wonderful memory, the only problem we are going to have is choosing which ones to print and put on the wall!” If you are considering a wedding at one of the Cotswold Inn venues, please drop us a line, we’d love to hear from you. If you Read More

Cotswold Wedding Photographer – Sarah & Martin’s Wedding

With Martin’s family flying in from Norway, Sarah & Martin had a big family celebration for their wedding, lots of children, hustle & bustle & noise. They had chosen The Close Hotel in Tetbury for their wedding and after it was recently taken over by the Cotswold Inn chain, it was treated to a major refurbishment and what a transformation: it looked fab!  The bridal room was very spacious and with two very excited, young children of their own, Martin & Sarah definitely had their hands full.  Sarah wore a beautiful satin gown in oyster which suited her perfectly.  In Read More

The Bay Tree Wedding Photographers – Yen & Dries

Back again to The Bay Tree today, we love this venue: it has such character and the staff are so efficient & friendly, the food tastes pretty good too!  I love the story of how Yen & Dries met in Barcelona: Dries was at a conference and Yen was holidaying on her own after her sister was unable to join her.  Alone and at a loose end, they both decided to book themselves on a cycling tour around the city and the rest is history.  Fate was definitely intervening that day.  With family & guests flying in from Taiwan and Read More

The Bay Tree Wedding Photographers – Rachel & Neil

MARCH! Can someone please tell this weather that it is March and we are all waiting for Spring to arrive!  Heavy snow was forecast so we decided to follow the boy scout motto and ‘be prepared’ so we opted to take the 4×4 and bump along the country lanes to Burford.  We had our wellies, blanket, flask of whisky (sorry that should say hot drink) and shovel ready for action but we were greeted by an icing sugar dusting of snow, how disappointing. We love weddings at The Bay Tree, a beautiful 16th Century Inn set in the Cotswold and Read More

The Bay Tree Hotel Wedding Photographer – Corrina & Richard

Corrina & Richard had wished for a very relaxed wedding at The Bay Tree in Burford and with the hotel’s excellent, personal touch, they certainly had a lovely day.  The Bay Tree is a  great venue in all weathers (but we had blue skies today!) and to celebrate the Golden Jubilee, it was adorned in union flag bunting.  Corrina looked so beautiful in a Caroline Castigliano ivory, silk gown and she smiled and laughed all day.  After their intimate ceremony in the conservatory, guests enjoyed canapés & Pimms in the garden and the sun shone: quite unusual for this summer!  Read More

The Bay Tree Hotel Wedding Photographers – Julie & Tom

The wedding season is upon us and it was lovely to kick it off with Julie & Tom’s, a very happy couple who didn’t stop smiling and laughing all day.  We love photographing weddings at The Bay Tree, a beautiful 16th Century Inn set in the Cotswolds so it was a great day for us too.  Julie & Tom arranged their whole wedding from New Zealand; what a challenge that must have been! It was lovely to see that so many friends had flown over to celebrate with them.  The couple had hoped to hold their ceremony outside but after Read More

Jo & James’ Wedding – The Bay Tree Hotel

The weather forecast had been right for once: rain, rain and more rain.  Thankfully, The Bay Tree Hotel in Burford is such a great venue with so many nooks and crannies for indoor photos.  The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the guests and the bridal party were very relaxed when we arrived: it wasn’t long before the champagne corks were popping.  Is this a good time to mention the blue sticking plaster worn by Andy (father of the bride) on his injured thumb? Ummm maybe not …….. but it kept appearing in all the photos!!  Jo looked stunning, wearing a beautiful gown Read More
