Stone Barn – A different perspective

Stone Barn – A different perspective

Chris & I had a very busy couple of days exhibiting at the Stone Barn.  The venue decided to open their doors on Friday evening so that couples could experience Stone Barn at night: romantic candles, twinkling lights, roaring log fires and of course, that huge barbecue.   We were also there on the Saturday, a very cold, crisp day with blue skies.  They were running a competition to upload pictures to #stonebarnopenday and we decided to submit some photos so that couples can see a different perspective of the barn.  Of course, we love photographing weddings at both Stone Barn and Cripps Read More

Cripps Barn – Vicki & Chris’ Wedding

Cripps Barn – Vicki & Chris’ Wedding

It’s so nice when couples use our images for their ‘Thank You’ cards and we love the one chosen by Vicki & Chris. This is one of our favourite images from their day; the couple are lost in their own little world and the landscape shot looks great with its distant cloud formations. Such a lovely thank you too: “Dear Gillian & Chris, apologies this is a little late in coming but we wanted to write to thank you for photographing our wedding day on 18th September at Cripps Barn. We absolutely love our photos, they really capture every carefully Read More

Great Tythe Barn Wedding – Danielle & Matt

Great Tythe Barn Wedding – Danielle & Matt

Danielle & Matt’s Great Tythe Barn Wedding was great fun, starting with a church ceremony in the pretty church of St Peter’s in Stratton and finishing with the ‘Hot Shots’ Band rocking the barn. As guests gathered outside the church on this lovely, summers day, Matt waited inside nervously whilst the ushers were swigging from a hip flask which I can only presume contained something stronger than squash! I know the ceremony is the official part of the day but there is something about a good confetti shot which makes me smile, it’s like the start of the fun for the Read More

Tortworth Court Wedding – Beautiful Bride

Tortworth Court Wedding – Beautiful Bride

We love this black and white image taken at Kelly & Gareth’s Tortworth Court Wedding.  Kelly wore a stunning 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.   The movement in her dress is beautiful and Kelly stands out perfectly against the dark backdrop of Tortworth Court.

Kingscote Barn Wedding – Two Photographers

Kingscote Barn Wedding – Two Photographers

We are Chris & Gillian, a husband and wife photography team and we love photographing weddings at Kingscote Barn. Katie & Nathan were a great couple, very relaxed so posed photos were certainly out (thank goodness!).  Having two photographers meant I could stay with Katie whilst she was getting ready at Will’s Cottage and Chris remained with Nathan & the groom’s party at Spring Cottage.  The girls had a really fun morning, the smell of the bacon sarnies brought the farm dog, Toby running to see us but unfortunately, we couldn’t let him in because of his muddy paws.  The fire Read More

The Greenway Hotel Cheltenham

The Greenway Hotel Cheltenham

It was lovely to return to The Greenway Hotel Cheltenham this week.  This hotel holds such happy memories for us as it was where Chris and I got married many years ago.  I got quite emotional walking through the door of this 16th century Elizabethan Manor House.  The grandfather clock was still ticking away in the hallway and I remember us having our photo taken beside the clock as it struck 12 noon, the time of our ceremony.  It’s strange the things you remember: the oak panelled room where we said our vows, the bar inviting guests to have a drink, the log Read More
