I’ve photographed several weddings at Clearwell Castle over the past few years, with many of them being winter weddings. Ben & Karen’s extravaganza was no exception and started out on a crisp but bright December day. An early downpour soon cleared making way for the sun, which came bursting though and provided us with a fantastic rainbow arching over the church of St […]
Hanging onto the last clutches of autumn David & Tracy chose to get married at Cripps Barn in Gloucestershire on the last weekend of November. To have blue sky and golden light is something of a blessing therefore, and one enjoyed by all who attended the wedding. It may have been a little damp under foot, […]
I’ve photographed a few weddings at Cripps Stone Barn in Gloucestershire lately. It’s a popular venue, offering a quirky, rustic charm that few other wedding venues in the area can match. It’s part of the ‘Cripps Empire’, who also own nearby Cipps Barn. Their ethos is underpinned by Cripps Kichen catering, who’s approach is to buy […]
As the seasons change again it’s great to post this wedding from mid October where the weather was still warm and we had a beautiful bright day. Will & Jenny enjoyed an autumnal wedding at Kingscote Barn, set in the picturesque valley, with sheep scattering the hillside. Although not cold, one things for sure, it certainly gets darker sooner in the […]
When November comes around I seek out some respite from shooting weddings, and escape with some fellow photographers and head for the hills. A few days away walking in The Lake District was just the tonic. This year the trip was shorter than planned, but none the less we did get one day without rain in the Lake […]
If you’re feeling glum, then I suggest you take five minutes out of your day and take a look through these uplifting photos from James & Heidi’s Cripps Stone Barn wedding. A couple couldn’t be more in love if they tried and I think we have a winner for this year’s smiliest bride award! If excitement were […]
September was a super busy month for me, finding time to blog all my weddings is proving hard, but it would be criminal not to share a few photos from Michael & Hadley’s wonderful wedding at Sudeley Castle. Although only a couple of weeks ago, with a packed work schedule since, it’s hard to recall […]
The scene was set in this charming part of Oxfordshire, from the moment I pulled up at Catherine’s parents home. Today would fall into the category of, a quintessentially English wedding. It ticked all three boxes, the beautiful Georgian (?) manor house, classic vintage car and a marquee wedding reception in the garden. Albeit the latter had a 21st […]
September is one of my favourite months, and as predicted provided the perfect weather for an autumn wedding at Berkeley Castle. It was over to the somewhat hilly district of Stroud to start the day, catching up with Heather and her bridesmaids at her parents home. Once past the parking logistics I entered the house to […]
If you’re looking to pick the perfect autumnal day for a wedding, Jeff & Anne must have hit a home run. With Whatley Manor as a backdrop the photos would certainly turn up trumps. September offers the kind of light you don’t get in the height of summer. Yes the evenings are closing in sooner, but when you have […]
