Kingscote Barn Photographer – Kathryn & Alex

Kingscote Barn Photographer – Back to Kingscote Barn again, this time for an engagement shoot for Kathryn & Alex. We chose an evening shoot to make the most of the warm, evening light. We strolled up to the farm, chatting about their wedding plans (as you do) enjoying some amazing panoramic views over Kingscote. We were happy to see some golden corn which made such a beautiful backdrop in the evening sunshine.

Caswell House Oxfordshire

Chris and I are really looking forward to Becky & Phil’s wedding this weekend at Caswell House; a beautiful Cotswold barn venue in Oxfordshire.  After a few chilly days towards the end of July, let’s hope summer returns for August.  With flagstone floors, honey-coloured Cotswold stone walls and oak beams, the renovated barns looked absolutely stunning when we visited recently.  The courtyard will be perfect for their drinks reception and the beautiful moat, bridge and lavender bordered gardens, will provide a perfect backdrop for our photos when we whisk Becky & Phil off for some quiet time together. This perfect exclusive Oxfordshire wedding Read More

Bibury Wedding

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

Great Tythe Barn Tetbury – Danielle & Matt

The Great Tythe Barn Tetbury was the chosen location for Danielle & Matt’s pre-wedding shoot.  Matt had already forewarned me that Danielle was very nervous in front of the camera and gosh, was he right!   So with one very nervous bride-to-be and a very relaxed groom-to-be, we started the shoot by chatting about their wedding, putting Danielle at ease and walking around the venue so that on their wedding day, they would have an idea of what to expect.  Obviously, having the venue to ourselves meant it was very quiet but of course, on their wedding day there would be 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

Wick Farm Weddings – Lizzie & Baz

So Chris dropped me off at Lizzie’s house and then went down the pub with Baz & the groom’s party, ummm, I think I drew the short straw. However, I was more than happy to share in the bridal prep. excitement. Lizzie’s gown was beautiful: a backless, Stella York gown with fitted lace bodice and flowy tulle skirt and court train. After a few photos in the garden with a couple of ‘ornamental’ pigs grazing on the lawn, we were off to the church in Corsham. Chris managed to prize the groom away from the pub to take a couple Read More

Westonbirt Arboretum Wedding

We love what we do and it’s great to receive such amazing feedback: “Thank you for processing the photos so quickly. They’re fantastic and just what we’d hoped for when we first looked to booking you both. We had a brilliant day and we have some very special memories of the wedding. Going through the photos has reminded us of even more moments and memories of the day. Thank you both for putting so much time and effort into researching the best locations within the arboretum and for putting our families at ease. So many people have commented to us Read More

Bibury Wedding – Pre-wedding Shoot – Ioanna & Tom

We spent a lovely couple of hours photographing Ioanna & Tom at their pre-wedding shoot in Bibury a couple of weeks back.  We also took the opportunity to go through the final details of their Bibury Wedding.  We always chat to couples about their wedding arrangements; this is a must for us as this gives us a feel for their wedding and we can then tailor our photography to meet their requirements.  Very excited to be photographing their wedding this weekend at The Swan Hotel  (Cotswold Inns).   Read More

Westonbirt Wedding – Woodland Celebration

We were looking forward to a ‘blooming’ good day at Westonbirt Arboretum and with all the flowers bursting into colour, it didn’t disappoint.  The couple had opted for the Arboretum for a very relaxed, informal wedding and with lots of children running around, there was plenty of room for them to let off steam.  When we arrived, Gareth was already making himself at home with family & friends at the al fresco coffee shop.  Louise had stressed again and again that she never wore dresses, always jeans so I was rather taken aback when she stepped out of the car Read More

Kingscote Barn Spring Wedding – Sonia & Adam

Kingscote Barn is one of our favourite venues: local for us and it was great to be asked to photograph Sonia & Adam’s wedding. I joined the girls getting ready in Spring Cottage, reached by quite a steep decline, not always easy to negotiate in a pair of stilettos but it always makes a great photo! The bride’s makeup was applied perfectly by Eleanor from Le Glow, Beautiful Brides. Sonia walked down the aisle accompanied by her Mother, Gena. With the bridesmaids dressed in purple and her Mum in red, it was lovely to see such a colourful wedding. With Read More
