Cotswold Water Park Wedding Photographer – Laura & Jon

Hot, hot, hot…..  we’re not used to this weather!!  The variations in temperature this year have been ridiculous.  Chris and I are used to working in all conditions but my heart goes out to the groom’s party wearing their suits and waistcoats.  Laura & Jon were getting ready separately at The Cotswold Water Park Hotel and whilst I stayed with Laura to capture the excitement of bridal prep, Chris went with Jon & Aaron to the church in Charlton Kings. We’ve had a few weddings at this church; it has an unmistakable, beautiful, round, stained-glass window and as the church Read More

The Manor House, Moreton-in-Marsh Wedding Photographers – Rebekah & Tim

It was lovely to see Rebekah & Tim again after doing their pre-wedding shoot in May.  Back then, we had an evening with beautiful, warm sunshine and now after all the rain of recent weeks, what did the weather have in store for us today?  The couple had chosen the Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh to celebrate their wedding and were hoping for an outside ceremony but with dark clouds looming on the horizon, this was a switched to inside.  Afterwards, guests enjoyed Pimm’s in the gardens whilst we whisked Rebekah & Tim off for some quiet time in the Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographers – Jessica & Martyn

We awoke to another wet day!  However, Jessica & Martyn were not going to let a ‘little’ rain spoil their special day, celebrating their wedding at Kingscote Barn, a venue which we love with its spectacular views.  So much thought had gone into the little touches: vintage name signs, candles, a huge mirror as a table plan, bunting, wishing trees, we had great fun photographing everything.  Jessica looked stunning in a gown from the Enzoani ‘s Blue collection: embroidered lace with a soft overlay of tulle and ruched bodice.  Jessica wore a precious stone and Swarovski crystal halter neck piece Read More

Rebekah & Tim – Pre-wedding shoot

We met Rebekah & Tim at The Manor House, Moreton-in-Marsh to do their pre-wedding shoot and finalise the details of their wedding in a few weeks time.  Rebekah & Tim admitted to being a little nervous and the fact that a large number of hotel guests were sitting outside enjoying the evening sunshine, made it even more daunting.  The walled garden was more secluded so they soon relaxed and enjoyed the photo shoot there.  I always say that a pre-wedding shoot is an excellent idea as it gets the couples used to the way we work and of course, having Read More

The Bay Tree Hotel Wedding Photographers – Julie & Tom

The wedding season is upon us and it was lovely to kick it off with Julie & Tom’s, a very happy couple who didn’t stop smiling and laughing all day.  We love photographing weddings at The Bay Tree, a beautiful 16th Century Inn set in the Cotswolds so it was a great day for us too.  Julie & Tom arranged their whole wedding from New Zealand; what a challenge that must have been! It was lovely to see that so many friends had flown over to celebrate with them.  The couple had hoped to hold their ceremony outside but after 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

Charlotte & Neil’s Wedding – The Swan, Bibury

Do the weather forecasters ever get it right?  After predicting a sunny/cloudy but dry day, we had sun, heavy showers and thunder.  Where has our summer gone?  The ceremony was held at the quiet village church of Blunsdon St Andrew and the vicar, delivered one of the funniest sermons we have ever heard; very entertaining.  Charlotte looked amazing and her bouquet from The Guelder Rose florists was quite unusual; two different types of roses (Aqua and Cezanne), Bouvardia and Eucalyptus foliage.  After a few photos at the church, we headed for The Swan in the Cotswold village of Bibury.  After Read More
