‘Quacking’ Wedding Bibury

‘Quacking’ Wedding Bibury

Wedding Bibury – ‘Quacking’ good wedding at The Swan Hotel, Bibury.  Sara & Marcus brought a bit of excitement to their wedding by holding a Duck Race on the little stream which runs through the beautiful grounds of The Swan Hotel.  Little did the couple know that a life sized ‘Donald Duck’ was going to make an appearance and Sara’s face was a picture when she spotted him.  With judging over for the ‘best dressed duck’ we were now onto the serious business of duck racing. Bets placed, ducks lined up in a row along the starting line, chequered flag 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

Penyard House – Barry & Mike’s Anniversary Celebration

Penyard House – Barry & Mike’s Anniversary Celebration

We were so pleased to be asked to photograph Barry & Mike’s Anniversary Celebration Party. After having a small ceremony a year ago in New York, they invited guests from all over the world to celebrate their first wedding anniversary at Penyard House. Nicky from Millie & Me provided the elegant wedding stationery and Stephanie Saunders created amazing floral displays including a beautiful arrangement of roses, hydrangeas, lilies & orchids as a showpiece for the entrance hall.  This was decked with glass baubles & candles which looked very dramatic in the evening light.  With a range of cocktails and the Read More

The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding – Sara & Marcus

The Swan Hotel, Bibury Wedding – Sara & Marcus

A ‘Quacking’ Good Day!!  Back to one of our favourite venues; The Swan Hotel Bibury and this time, both Sara and Marcus were getting ready at the hotel (separately obviously!) Their ceremony was held at St Mary’s Church in the village so only a short walk from the hotel for the guests. Sara was chaffeured in Matt’s Father’s car, an Austin 10 and trying to get the dress into the small car was quite a challenge.  After the ceremony, guests were each handed a red balloon so they could stroll back along the river to the hotel adding a splash Read More

Hare & Hounds Hotel, Tetbury Wedding Photographer – Rachel & Steve’s Wedding

Hare & Hounds Hotel, Tetbury Wedding Photographer – Rachel & Steve’s Wedding

A few problems finding the bride’s parents house, “look for a bungalow!” we were told, I don’t think Rachel had realised there were quite a few bungalows along that stretch of the road but luckily, the hearts hanging in the tree gave it away. Rachel looked stunning in a Lusan Mandongus gown and flowers by the very talented Joseph Massie completed the look with a Carmen Rose bouquet which is essentially one large flower assembled from hundreds of rose petals. Chris joined Steve getting ready at the Hare & Hounds, I don’t think we have ever photographed an usher having Read More

Swan Hotel Bibury Wedding

Swan Hotel Bibury Wedding

Amazing day at Jennie & Matt’s Swan Hotel Bibury Wedding in the Cotswolds.  A very warm welcome greeted us at Jennie’s parents house and it was alive with the hustle & bustle of a large family getting ready. Taking photos of the bridal party with two very young children, Ellis & Thomas was definitely a challenge and although I got the perfect photo, I prefer the one with Thomas’ face right in the centre of the lens as he came to investigate what I was doing. They couple were getting married at the quintessentially English Church of Chedworth and by Read More

Rachel & Steve – Hare & Hounds Wedding Photographer

We received some lovely comments from Rachel & Steve after their pre-wedding shoot back in March. “I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for meeting myself and Steve on Saturday. We really enjoyed our time together and I know we’ll feel so much more ‘at ease’ on the day knowing a little more about how the photos are taken. It’ll be lovely to share our special day with you both.”  Chris and I are really looking forward to photographing their wedding at the Hare & Hounds Hotel (Cotswold Inns and Hotels) near Tetbury.
