‘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

Bibury Wedding – Pre-wedding Shoot – Ioanna & Tom

We spent a lovely couple of hours photographing Ioanna & Tom at their pre-wedding shoot in Bibury a couple of weeks back.  We also took the opportunity to go through the final details of their Bibury Wedding.  We always chat to couples about their wedding arrangements; this is a must for us as this gives us a feel for their wedding and we can then tailor our photography to meet their requirements.  Very excited to be photographing their wedding this weekend at The Swan Hotel  (Cotswold Inns).   Read More

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

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

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

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
