Westonbirt Arboretum Autumn Engagement – Becky & Phil

We had a great time with Becky & Phil at Westonbirt Arboretum Autumn Engagement shoot back in October. The couple had specifically requested we meet at the arboretum so that we could capture all the beautiful, autumnal colours of the trees. What a fantastic time we had and I was particularly taken with Alfie, their ‘bouncy’ Cocker Spaniel. We’re really looking forward to photographing their wedding next year; Becky & Phil are a great couple and it will be a fun day.

Berkeley Castle Wedding Photographer – Katie & Patrick

We returned to one of our favourite venues today; Berkeley Castle, steeped in history and local to us. We photographed Katie & Patrick’s engagement shoot in the Castle grounds this Summer and having had a fun time with them then, we knew this would be a great wedding. Katie’s dress had the WOW factor, her Martina Liana tulle gown with Swarovski Crystals was perfect for a big venue. The bridesmaids’ dresses were unique too, designed by bridesmaid Emily: it was lovely to see such originality. Emily’s sister, Sophia Holbrook provided the bouquets featuring purple orchids. It was great to see Read More

Cadbury House Wedding Photographers – Amy & Tim’s Wedding

Our first 30 mins on arrival at Cadbury House were spent in the car, waiting for the torrential rain to stop ……which it did, eventually. This is the first wedding we have photographed in quite a while where the whole bridal party have been ready in plenty of time. No last minute panics, nobody rushing and everyone was so relaxed which meant some great photos. Amy & Tim ‘tied the knot’ with a civil ceremony & had a couple of readings which we were unfamiliar with; “The One” and “Extract from the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams”. The weather looked Read More

Tortworth Court Wedding Photographers – Theresa & Dan’s Wedding

Tortworth Court’s gardens looked very Autumnal with gorgeous oranges, yellows and greens and after Theresa saying she loved red, I knew her colour scheme would work perfectly. Her bridesmaids were dressed in red and even James, the Master of Ceremonies (a very funny guy!) was of course, also dressed in a red jacket. Theresa & Dan had opted for their ceremony in The Orangery and just as the bridal party were due to walk there from the main building, the heavens opened so up went the brollies keeping everyone dry. During the ceremony, the rain became heavier and heavier which Read More

Cripps Stone Barn Wedding – Emma & Chris

After meeting Emma & Chris last May, we knew this would be a relaxed, fun wedding. We were really looking forward to returning to Cripps Stone Barn after last year’s helicopter flight, (check out Lyndsey & Kevin’s blog post for the full story). On arrival at Emma’s parents’ house, Alan (Emma’s father) was organising everybody and even ticked a box on his timeline to show we were there – what a great project manager! I often recommend plenty of time for bridal preparations but this doesn’t always happen. Thankfully, Emma had given herself plenty of time and with Jodi Croft doing Read More

Westonbirt Arboretum Wedding Photographers – Debbie & Matt’s Wedding

Debbie & Matt had their hearts set on a colourful, autumnal wedding and rather than opt for a church, they decided on Westonbirt Arboretum as their perfect backdrop. It was great fun watching the girls getting ready, Debbie & Eunice particularly were in high spirits and the colour scheme was fab (check out Debbie’s ‘Irregular Choice’ shoes & Eunice’s mango coloured dress!) Sticking with the autumnal theme, the bouquets by ‘Oops a Daisy’ contained Mango Calla Lilies, Anastasia Roses & Cherry Brandy Roses. Debbie had attached a blue brooch to the bouquet, to remember her Grandmother by. We love photographing Read More

Tortworth Court Wedding Photographer – Issy & Neil

A blustery day for Issy and Neil’s wedding; the ceremony was held at Tortworth Church followed by a reception at Tortworth Court. The day didn’t start too well for Chris (nothing wedding related I hasten to add!) as England were playing France in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup and the result was very disappointing. After the ceremony, Issy & Neil had requested some photos by the seated stone memorial at the back of the church, the bruised skies and cotswold stone provided a dramatic backdrop. Tortworth’s gardens looked very autumnal with gorgeous oranges, yellows and greens. The Orangery Read More

Helen & Mycroft’s Wedding – Winkworth Farm

Chris and I never take motorways on the day of weddings, it’s too much of a risk getting caught in a traffic jam so we left early and ‘bumped’ along the beautiful country lanes to Winkworth Farm. Helen & Mycroft were hoping to get married outside in the Roundhouse but the good old British weather wasn’t playing ball, so their ceremony was inside the converted barn. Afterwards, guests sipped on Pimms with brightly coloured straws and with blue skies and sunshine emerging, everyone enjoyed the beautiful gardens. The autumn colours were showing in the rose garden and we took some 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

Helen & Mycroft – Pre-Wedding Shoot

We met Helen & Mycroft at Winkworth Farm to do their pre-wedding shoot and finalise the details of their wedding at the end of September. We were greeted by a field of sunflowers; the huge yellow flowers swaying in the breeze were such a beautiful sight. Helen & Myc were rather nervous about having their photos taken (naturally so, who isn’t!) but we took some great shots, I particularly like the ones by the straw bales. Read More
