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 Photographers

I love this photo of Rachel; it was a bitterly cold day and she braved the elements for this beautiful shot, highlighting her lace dress. Although it had been snowing in the morning, her friend’s ‘lucky brolly’ was not needed, living up to its name once again. “We had the most amazing day and cannot stop smiling 🙂 Thanks so much for playing a part in it too. Thanks also for the early sneak preview of the photo. I love it! This is exactly what you both do so well: imaginative and inspired shots on the day. We had some Read More

Hare & Hounds Wedding Photographers – a few ideas!

The recent wedding open day at the Hare & Hounds gave couples the wonderful opportunity to look around this lovely country house hotel. The hotel also features Jack Hare’s, it’s own pub which Chris & I often frequent afer visiting the next door arboretum! The lounge has a crackling log fire, very welcome on chilly winter days and the large, comfy sofas are great for impromptu photos. We always find the staff so efficient and welcoming, it’s a great place to hold your wedding. The photos show some amazing suppliers: flowers, stationery, cakes, cars etc. and a few ‘arty’ photos Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographer – Rebecca & Chris

We had a real déjà vu moment when we arrived at Becky’s parent’s house, we entered only to see Amy, a guest from last week’s wedding. We had chatted to her and she did mention she had her brother’s wedding to go to soon but we never imagined it would be Chris. It was a very funny moment especially the look on Amy’s face when she saw us too! Becky and her bridesmaids, Ellie, Sophie & Lily, were all getting ready in the living room which meant I could really capture the buzz and excitement of the morning. Chris had Read More

Berkeley Castle Weddings – Kate & John

Berkeley Castle Weddings. Kate & John held their wedding at Berkeley Castle, one of our favourite venues and just up the road from us. Kate was early for the ceremony, that’s so unusual but so very welcome as we were able to capture some lovely, relaxed moments in the courtyard. Some guests however, were not quite so punctual! Kate looked stunning in a San Patrick satin gown with beaded straps and asymmetric ruched bodice adorned with unique appliqué down the side. There were few funny moments in the ceremony, I won’t embarrass John but some of the wording was changed Read More

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

Newborn photoshoot – Tom

We photographed Grace (Kelly & Paul’s daughter) a couple of years ago and when Kelly found out she was expecting, she booked us straight away to photograph their new arrival. Babies rarely arrive on their due date and Tom was no exception, arriving a week earlier than expected. We photographed Tom at only a few days old which meant we were able to take beautiful photos, providing Kelly & Paul with special memories for years to come. Newborn photography is an art and Callisto Photography can provide you with beautiful photos which you will be able to cherish forever. Read More

Eli – Portrait Shoot

Eli was booked in for his 6 month photo shoot and my, hadn’t he grown! He looked gorgeous in his dungarees and stripy t-shirt. Having photographed Naomi & Chris’ wedding a few years back and then Eli when he was first born, it was nice to catch up on the last few months including Eli’s first Christmas. We got some great photos and Eli smiled even more broadly when he spotted his favourite teddies. We look forward to seeing how much he has changed at his 12 month photo shoot. 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
