Being a professional photographer means having a wide variety of skills, not just taking a great photo! It was lovely to receive this thanks from Joanna & Tom a couple of days after their wedding – “Thank you very much for the great job you did on the day. It was extremely helpful having you around. You did an absolutely great job at keeping us calm, guiding us through the day and managing the guests. It was a shame about the weather but the Greeks weren’t expecting anything less of the British weather and they actually really enjoyed the different Read More
Swan Hotel Bibury – Joanna & Tom’s Wedding
Rain, rain and more rain but nothing could dampen ours (or the guests’) spirits when it came to Joanna & Tom’s wedding at the Swan Hotel Bibury. Chris dropped me off in Cirencester to meet up with Joanna & her bridal party before heading off to The Swan to meet up with Tom and his groom’s party who were building lego in the bar when he arrived! Chris always seems to end up in the bar (see previous wedding blog): I’m starting to see a pattern emerging here. It was lovely for me to be working with Cornelius again, Double Read More

Red Balloons! The Swan Hotel, Bibury
Sara & Marcus had a definite look in mind when they provided their guests with red balloons as they walked from the church to The Swan in Bibury. With this black and white image, they asked for the red balloons to remain in colour and this double page design from their album is one of their favourites. Read More
The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding – Sara & Marcus
A ‘Quacking’ Good Day!! Back to one of our favourite venues; The Swan Hotel Bibury and this time, both Sara and Marcus were getting ready at the hotel (separately obviously!) Their ceremony was held at St Mary’s Church in the village so only a short walk from the hotel for the guests. Sara was chaffeured in Matt’s Father’s car, an Austin 10 and trying to get the dress into the small car was quite a challenge. After the ceremony, guests were each handed a red balloon so they could stroll back along the river to the hotel adding a splash Read More
Hare & Hounds Hotel, Tetbury Wedding Photographer – Rachel & Steve’s Wedding
A few problems finding the bride’s parents house, “look for a bungalow!” we were told, I don’t think Rachel had realised there were quite a few bungalows along that stretch of the road but luckily, the hearts hanging in the tree gave it away. Rachel looked stunning in a Lusan Mandongus gown and flowers by the very talented Joseph Massie completed the look with a Carmen Rose bouquet which is essentially one large flower assembled from hundreds of rose petals. Chris joined Steve getting ready at the Hare & Hounds, I don’t think we have ever photographed an usher having Read More
Swan Hotel Bibury Wedding
Amazing day at Jennie & Matt’s Swan Hotel Bibury Wedding in the Cotswolds. A very warm welcome greeted us at Jennie’s parents house and it was alive with the hustle & bustle of a large family getting ready. Taking photos of the bridal party with two very young children, Ellis & Thomas was definitely a challenge and although I got the perfect photo, I prefer the one with Thomas’ face right in the centre of the lens as he came to investigate what I was doing. They couple were getting married at the quintessentially English Church of Chedworth and by Read More
