Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographers – Lisa & Andy

Kingscote Barn is one of our favourite venues: local for us and having met Lisa & Andy there recently for a pre-wedding shoot and coffee in the local pub, it was like meeting up with old friends.  After so much rain (remember all the recent flooding?) we had a dry day and also a tiny ray of sunshine, hooray!  It was fun watching the girls get ready and thanks to Ellie, the dresses finally got laced up!  Brandon wasn’t too impressed with his special present, a lovely teddy bear wearing a ‘best boy’ top as this was immediately jettisoned onto Read More

Rachel & Neil – Pre-wedding photo shoot

We met Rachel & Neil at The Hare & Hounds for a coffee and to go through the final details for their wedding in a few weeks time.  I think we were all reluctant to leave the warmth of the cosy hotel but we headed off to Westonbirt Arboretum to do their pre-wedding shoot.  Although the rain had stopped, the fog was lingering, everywhere was very damp and we had the arboretum to ourselves, what a surprise! Rachel admitted to being a little nervous at first but we had a lovely time and they soon relaxed and were enjoying having Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographer – Lisa & Andy – Pre-wedding photo shoot

We met Lisa & Andy at Kingscote Barn to do their pre-wedding shoot and finalise the details of their wedding.  I clicked with Lisa when we first met back in January so I knew there wouldn’t be any trouble with conversation, if anything, it was going to be difficult to stop us chatting.  We had a beautiful, autumnal day but oh my goodness, the wind was bitter so we didn’t hang around.  After lots of fun taking photos of Lisa & Andy and a ‘very obstinate’ remembrance poppy, we headed for the local pub (just for a coffee!) to go Read More

Wyck Hill House Hotel Wedding Photographer – Cherith & Rob

We haven’t had the opportunity of photographing a wedding at Wyck Hill House before so we were really looking forward to Cherith & Rob’s special day.  Cherith’s bridesmaids, Linda & Maddie, had the timing off to a tee and had even saved the instructions on how to lace up the back of the dress on a mobile phone. The couple got married at St Lawrence’s Church in the picturesque Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water and we were greeted by a very relaxed vicar who gave an excellent sermon and who compared marriage to dancing and even squeezed a reference to ‘Strictly Read More

Cotswold Water Park Wedding Photographer – Laura & Jon

Hot, hot, hot…..  we’re not used to this weather!!  The variations in temperature this year have been ridiculous.  Chris and I are used to working in all conditions but my heart goes out to the groom’s party wearing their suits and waistcoats.  Laura & Jon were getting ready separately at The Cotswold Water Park Hotel and whilst I stayed with Laura to capture the excitement of bridal prep, Chris went with Jon & Aaron to the church in Charlton Kings. We’ve had a few weddings at this church; it has an unmistakable, beautiful, round, stained-glass window and as the church Read More

Clevedon Hall Wedding Photographer – Ginette & Kevin

We thought we were going to be lucky with the weather for Ginette & Kevin’s wedding, we’ve had so much rain, surely the clouds would run out of rain soon?  Upon arrival at the church, we were greeted by Kevin & his groom’s party in Naval & RAF uniforms and after the groom’s party in kilts last week, what else could a girl ask for …….   some sunshine maybe?  Ginette soon arrived at the church with her bridesmaids, dressed in a beautiful magenta colour.  With thunder overhead, we just got into the church before the heavens opened; excellent timing.  After Read More

Tortworth Court Wedding Photographer – Kelly & Gareth

The weather was amazing for April, such glorious sunshine.  Kelly and Gareth got married at the lovely hill top church in Old Sodbury: the views were spectacular.  Kelly arrived with her father in an open-topped car and emerged wearing a Justin Alexander dress, with layer upon layer of white tulle, the top layer being scattered with sequins and the silk bodice encrusted in Swarovski crystals.  Kelly wanted to look like a princess and she certainly did that!  Tortworth Court was the location for their reception and guests were greeted with sparkling, blue champagne to complement with their colour scheme.  We Read More

Berkeley Castle Wedding Photographers – Claire & Chris

Claire & Chris were married at Woodchester Priory, a beautiful church high on a hill in Nailsworth. The groom’s party wore kilts and as it was very windy day, all the girls were just wondering ‘what if the wind just whipped up a bit more?’  But it didn’t although I was ready with the camera!  After the ceremony, Claire & Chris were driven to Berkeley Castle in a 1929 Vintage Cadillac, an amazing car driven by Steve, who is always so friendly and keeps the car immaculate.  Berkeley Castle is amazing and steeped in history: one of our favourite venues.  Read More

The Manor House Hotel Wedding Photographer – Laura & James

We had a lovely drive to Laura & James’ wedding in Moreton-in Marsh through a very lush, green looking countryside, could it be something to do with all the rain we’ve had recently?  Chris met the groom’s party at the Manor House Hotel before walking to the church, the men trying to work out how to hold their top hats which always causes some hilarity.  Over at the bride’s house, the corks were popping and Laura and her bridesmaids were relaxing into their roles.  Laura had opted for a Mori Lee gown with lacing at the back and after a Read More

The Manor House, Moreton-in-Marsh Wedding Photographers – Rebekah & Tim

It was lovely to see Rebekah & Tim again after doing their pre-wedding shoot in May.  Back then, we had an evening with beautiful, warm sunshine and now after all the rain of recent weeks, what did the weather have in store for us today?  The couple had chosen the Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh to celebrate their wedding and were hoping for an outside ceremony but with dark clouds looming on the horizon, this was a switched to inside.  Afterwards, guests enjoyed Pimm’s in the gardens whilst we whisked Rebekah & Tim off for some quiet time in the 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

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographers – Jessica & Martyn

We awoke to another wet day!  However, Jessica & Martyn were not going to let a ‘little’ rain spoil their special day, celebrating their wedding at Kingscote Barn, a venue which we love with its spectacular views.  So much thought had gone into the little touches: vintage name signs, candles, a huge mirror as a table plan, bunting, wishing trees, we had great fun photographing everything.  Jessica looked stunning in a gown from the Enzoani ‘s Blue collection: embroidered lace with a soft overlay of tulle and ruched bodice.  Jessica wore a precious stone and Swarovski crystal halter neck piece Read More
