The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding Photographer – Skyla & David’s Wedding

We met Skyla & David at The Swan Hotel in Bibury back in July for an engagement shoot; a gloriously hot, sunny day, arrrh that was a lovely summer.  Usually I say it only seems like yesterday but in all honesty, the weather is so miserable today, I can quite happily say it feels like years ago!  Skyla and her sister, Leia had admitted to not being ‘girlie girls’ & not wearing makeup and dresses very often so it was great to see the excitement on their faces when they saw the results of their preparation.  Skyla wore a beautiful 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.

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

We always feel so proud too receive e-mails like this …….. “What can I say!!! Your photos brought all the feelings and emotions from our wedding day flooding back in an instant, I was lost for words, feeling emotional and smiling to myself all at the same time! You have captured the day exactly as it happened and it was so lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves.

The Swan, Bibury Wedding Photographers – Rachael & Craig

Do weather forecasters ever get it right?  After weeks and weeks of glorious, sunny weather, we knew it had to break at some point and of course, Rachael & Craig’s wedding day was the predicted day for torrential rain & storms.  So with the brollies & raincoats at the ready, we travelled to The Swan Hotel in Bibury.  We had met with Rachael & Craig for a pre-wedding shoot a couple of weeks previously so we knew that they were so keen to have an outside ceremony; was their wish going to come true?  Hang on in there folks, you’ll Read More

Natalie & Ted’s Wedding – The Swan Hotel, Bibury

Natalie & Ted celebrated their wedding at The Swan Hotel in Bibury, a beautiful Cotswold venue.  Natalie and her bridesmaids got ready in the cottages which was a lot of fun and as Nat had told me she wasn’t a ‘girlie girl’, I was amazed to see her dressed in a beautiful Benjamin Roberts gown, a real fairytale dress with tulle overlay.  We made full use of the beautiful surroundings, with lots of photographs on the bridge overlooking the river.  The foreign tourists were out in force, the Japanese particularly loving a white wedding and Natalie & Ted were very Read More

Charlotte & Neil’s Wedding – The Swan, Bibury

Do the weather forecasters ever get it right?  After predicting a sunny/cloudy but dry day, we had sun, heavy showers and thunder.  Where has our summer gone?  The ceremony was held at the quiet village church of Blunsdon St Andrew and the vicar, delivered one of the funniest sermons we have ever heard; very entertaining.  Charlotte looked amazing and her bouquet from The Guelder Rose florists was quite unusual; two different types of roses (Aqua and Cezanne), Bouvardia and Eucalyptus foliage.  After a few photos at the church, we headed for The Swan in the Cotswold village of Bibury.  After Read More
