The Swan, Bibury Wedding Photographers – Rachael & Craig

Do weather forecasters ever get it right?  After weeks and weeks of glorious, sunny weather, we knew it had to break at some point and of course, Rachael & Craig’s wedding day was the predicted day for torrential rain & storms.  So with the brollies & raincoats at the ready, we travelled to The Swan Hotel in Bibury.  We had met with Rachael & Craig for a pre-wedding shoot a couple of weeks previously so we knew that they were so keen to have an outside ceremony; was their wish going to come true?  Hang on in there folks, you’ll Read More

Wedding Photographers at The Hare & Hounds, Tetbury – Rebecca & Alex

When Rebecca & Alex booked us last year, they told us they were having a ‘rainbow’ wedding; a first for us!  We weren’t quite sure what to expect but it was amazing, the colours were so vibrant and matched Rebecca & Alex’s personalities perfectly.  Rebecca and her 9 bridesmaids, yes 9!, not forgetting the little flowergirl Martha, were all getting ready at The Hare & Hounds and there was lots of excitement!  All the dresses were beautiful, the bride wore a breathtaking Mori Lee gown with crystal beads on the bodice and an ivory, pearled sash to enhance its romantic Read More

Wedding Photographers at the Hare & Hounds, Tetbury

We believe that every photo should tell a story.  Rebecca looks miles away, lost in her own little world, listening to the sounds of an acoustic guitar whilst Alex chats with friends.  As the saying goes “a picture paints a thousand words” and this one certainly does.  So as wedding photographers, this is what we do: capture a memory, a definitive moment in time.   If you are looking for a wedding photographer, please give us a call.  This was taken at the Hare & Hounds in Tetbury.  We’ll be posting some more soon showing this beautiful venue.

Matara Wedding Photographer – Jo & Ali

We love working up the road at Matara, it is a unique wedding venue in the heart of the Cotswolds.  With Matara’s tranquil and originally designed gardens, Jo & Ali wanted their wedding to be a relaxed, fun affair.  They had arranged to stay the night prior to their wedding in the beautiful Regency House, which meant when we arrived to capture the excitement of the day, guests were already getting in the swing.  Jo looked fabulous in a vintage mocha chic gown by Rembo Styling, with pearl & lace detail on a sweeping neckline and an amazing train with Read More

Hare & Hounds Hotel Engagement Shoot – Rebecca & Alex

We recently met Rebecca & Alex at The Hare & Hounds  to do their pre-wedding shoot and finalise the details of their wedding.  Time has flow by, I cannot believe their wedding is this weekend!  As you can see, the umbrellas were up but Rebecca & Alex were more than happy to go outside in the rain and the brolly made a lovely prop.  They have  chosen one of the photos for their signature board but I’m not saying which one as it will be a nice surprise for the guests!  Can’t wait for their wedding, it’ll be great fun.

Wedding Rings

Chris took this beautiful photo of Yen & Dries’ wedding rings on a sprig of Eucalyptus.  I am often with the bridal party capturing the excitement of everyone getting ready when Chris is taking this photo.  I don’t often see his shot until I am editing the images and I love to see what he has taken, great ingenuity and a brilliant photo, Chris (don’t tell him I said that though!)

The Bay Tree Hotel – Wedding Photographers

I love this photo of Rachel; it was a bitterly cold day and she braved the elements for this beautiful shot, highlighting her lace dress. Although it had been snowing in the morning, her friend’s ‘lucky brolly’ was not needed, living up to its name once again. “We had the most amazing day and cannot stop smiling 🙂  Thanks so much for playing a part in it too.  Thanks also for the early sneak preview of the photo.  I love it!  This is exactly what you both do so well: imaginative and inspired shots on the day.   We had some Read More

Hare & Hounds Wedding Photographers – a few ideas!

The recent wedding open day at the Hare & Hounds gave couples the wonderful opportunity to look around this lovely country house hotel.  The hotel also features Jack Hare’s, it’s own pub which Chris & I often frequent afer visiting the next door arboretum!  The lounge has a crackling log fire, very welcome on chilly winter days and the large, comfy sofas are great for impromptu photos.  We always find the staff so efficient and welcoming, it’s a great place to hold your wedding.  The photos show some amazing suppliers: flowers, stationery, cakes, cars etc. and a few ‘arty’ photos Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographers – Lisa & Andy

Kingscote Barn is one of our favourite venues: local for us and having met Lisa & Andy there recently for a pre-wedding shoot and coffee in the local pub, it was like meeting up with old friends.  After so much rain (remember all the recent flooding?) we had a dry day and also a tiny ray of sunshine, hooray!  It was fun watching the girls get ready and thanks to Ellie, the dresses finally got laced up!  Brandon wasn’t too impressed with his special present, a lovely teddy bear wearing a ‘best boy’ top as this was immediately jettisoned onto Read More

Wyck Hill House Hotel Wedding Photographer – Cherith & Rob

We haven’t had the opportunity of photographing a wedding at Wyck Hill House before so we were really looking forward to Cherith & Rob’s special day.  Cherith’s bridesmaids, Linda & Maddie, had the timing off to a tee and had even saved the instructions on how to lace up the back of the dress on a mobile phone. The couple got married at St Lawrence’s Church in the picturesque Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water and we were greeted by a very relaxed vicar who gave an excellent sermon and who compared marriage to dancing and even squeezed a reference to ‘Strictly Read More

Cripps Stone Barn Wedding Photographer – Jo & Nick

Cripps Stone Barn. The weather forecast had promised torrential rain all afternoon but luckily for us, it did not materialise until the wedding breakfast.  Maybe it was all the umbrellas being clutched by the guests that did the trick ……!   Jo and her bridesmaids, Nicky, Hannah, Emma & Jo were getting ready at Barnsley House and there was a definite buzz of excitement in the air.  Getting photos of the little flowergirl, Poppy, was quite challenging as she never stopped running around until she saw her reflection in the mirror: my cue to click the shutter!  As professional photographers, Chris Read More
