Bay Tree Burford Wedding Photography – Zara & Leigh’s Wedding

Bay Tree Burford Wedding Photography – Zara & Leigh’s Wedding

Bay Tree Burford Wedding Photography.  We returned to The Bay Tree in Burford for the umpteenth time, the only difference now being that the hotel had had a ‘makeover’, we love the new dining room décor. Zara and her bridal party were getting ready upstairs so I headed up there whilst Chris went to find the groom and his party. It was lovely to see the two flowergirls, Poppy & Tilly spellbound by the bridal gown, the expressions on their faces just said ‘a real princess’ dress. Zara & Leigh had been hoping for an outdoor civil ceremony and their Read More

Swan Hotel Bibury – Joanna & Tom’s Wedding

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

Great Tythe Barn Summer Wedding – Meg & Tim

Great Tythe Barn Summer Wedding – Meg & Tim

Meg & Tim wanted to celebrate their wedding with their pets as well as their guests, so along came Brandy (Meg’s horse) and Maisie and Lola, the couple’s chocolate Labradors. Brandy was a great surprise for Meg as she wasn’t expecting to see her on her wedding day and their two dogs were given special permission to attend the drinks reception.  So with the donkeys and pigs already in situ at The Great Tythe Barn, there was quite an menagerie in attendance. After a few hitches in the morning with no hot water (why do these things always go wrong on Read More

Kelly & Paul’s Wedding – The Trout, Tadpole Bridge, Oxfordshire

Kelly & Paul’s Wedding – The Trout, Tadpole Bridge, Oxfordshire

Kelly & Paul had opted for a very relaxed wedding at The Trout in Oxfordshire, a beautiful, riverside setting. We have known Kelly & Paul for many years, we photographed Grace at 20 months (check out the masthead of our blog!!) and Tom when he was a newborn so it was lovely to be asked to photograph their wedding. They had requested very informal photography which was right up our street. Kelly & Paul had decided to spend their honeymoon (or should that be ‘familymoon’) on a narrowboat which was moored on the river next to The Trout and I Read More

The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding Photographer – Skyla & David’s Wedding

The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding Photographer – Skyla & David’s Wedding

We met Skyla & David at The Swan Hotel in Bibury back in July for an engagement shoot; a gloriously hot, sunny day, arrrh that was a lovely summer.  Usually I say it only seems like yesterday but in all honesty, the weather is so miserable today, I can quite happily say it feels like years ago!  Skyla and her sister, Leia had admitted to not being ‘girlie girls’ & not wearing makeup and dresses very often so it was great to see the excitement on their faces when they saw the results of their preparation.  Skyla wore a beautiful Read More

Sarah & Martin’s Wedding – The Close Hotel, Tetbury

Sarah & Martin’s Wedding – The Close Hotel, Tetbury

We received a lovely thank you from Sarah & Martin “Thank you so much for the photos they are fantastic! You and Chris have really captured the atmosphere & relaxed nature of our special day, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The photographs are beyond our expectations, and help to ‘re-live’ our wedding – creating a most wonderful memory, the only problem we are going to have is choosing which ones to print and put on the wall!” If you are considering a wedding at one of the Cotswold Inn venues, please drop us a line, we’d love to hear from you. If you Read More

Cotswold Wedding Photographer – Sarah & Martin’s Wedding

With Martin’s family flying in from Norway, Sarah & Martin had a big family celebration for their wedding, lots of children, hustle & bustle & noise. They had chosen The Close Hotel in Tetbury for their wedding and after it was recently taken over by the Cotswold Inn chain, it was treated to a major refurbishment and what a transformation: it looked fab!  The bridal room was very spacious and with two very excited, young children of their own, Martin & Sarah definitely had their hands full.  Sarah wore a beautiful satin gown in oyster which suited her perfectly.  In Read More

Wick Farm Bath Wedding Photographer – Tabitha & William’s Wedding

Wick Farm Bath Wedding Photographer – Tabitha & William’s Wedding

We met Tabitha & William a few weeks ago at Wick Farm to go through the final details for their wedding.  When we asked Tabitha & Will why they chose Wick Farm, they said one consideration was that it was close to a main road so in the event of snow (being a December wedding!), everyone would still be able to get to the venue.  However, they hadn’t reckoned on torrential rain for days on end which meant the nearby main road had flooded and the scenic duck pond had been transformed into a rather large lake!  Will was waiting Read More
