The Bay Tree Hotel Wedding Photographer – Corrina & Richard

Corrina & Richard had wished for a very relaxed wedding at The Bay Tree in Burford and with the hotel’s excellent, personal touch, they certainly had a lovely day.  The Bay Tree is a  great venue in all weathers (but we had blue skies today!) and to celebrate the Golden Jubilee, it was adorned in union flag bunting.  Corrina looked so beautiful in a Caroline Castigliano ivory, silk gown and she smiled and laughed all day.  After their intimate ceremony in the conservatory, guests enjoyed canapés & Pimms in the garden and the sun shone: quite unusual for this summer!  Read More

Georgina & Alex – Pre-wedding Shoot

After going through the final arrangements for Georgie & Alex’s wedding, we headed off to Tintern Abbey to do their photo shoot.  Being the Jubilee weekend, it was really busy but we managed to find a quiet corner and even though a few people were intrigued by what we were up to, Georgie & Alex were soon engrossed in having their photos taken and after a few minutes, the natural smiles and laughter appeared, providing the relaxed photos we like to take.  It was nice to get to know each other over a drink and we look forward to photographing Read More

Birtsmorton Court

We were invited to the Press Open Day at Birtsmorton Court, one of our favourite venues.  The theme was ‘the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ and with canapés, bubbly, jam tarts with tea and an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed Treasure Hunt, it was a great day enjoyed by all.   For couples looking for a wedding venue steeped in history, look no further than this Medieval, moated manor house with its drawbridge leading into a secluded courtyard, 16th Century Great Hall boasting a large open fireplace, timbered walls, and a beautiful William & Mary ceiling.  After their ceremony, couples can enjoy a Read More

Jo & James’ Wedding – The Bay Tree Hotel

The weather forecast had been right for once: rain, rain and more rain.  Thankfully, The Bay Tree Hotel in Burford is such a great venue with so many nooks and crannies for indoor photos.  The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the guests and the bridal party were very relaxed when we arrived: it wasn’t long before the champagne corks were popping.  Is this a good time to mention the blue sticking plaster worn by Andy (father of the bride) on his injured thumb? Ummm maybe not …….. but it kept appearing in all the photos!!  Jo looked stunning, wearing a beautiful gown Read More

Victoria & Phillip’s Wedding – St Audries Park

Victoria & Phill celebrated their wedding at an amazing venue, St Audries Park in Somerset, with fantastic views over the Quantock Hills and Bristol Channel.  Victoria & Phil held their ceremony in the Orangery, a beautiful, light, airy room.  Afterwards, the sun finally came out, “hooray”! and guests enjoyed sipping Cosmopolitan cocktails which gave us great opportunities to ‘pap’ away: ladies in ‘lush hats’, games of croquet and of course, the men in their top hats.  We took Victoria & Phil off for some romantic shots in front of a beautiful golden corn field: amazing photos!  Before the wedding breakfast, Read More
