Last weekend saw me photograph a same sex wedding at Friars Court in Oxfordshire. It was Pete & Nick’s turn to tie the knot and they chose the splendid setting of Friars Court gardens to have their outdoor wedding ceremony. This venue is perfectly suited to outdoor wedding ceremonies (which are becoming ever more popular) […]
Who’d have predicted an outdoor wedding at Manor House Hotel this weekend, apparently not the staff! Having set up indoors initially, an about turn occurred, rearranging the plans as the sun burst though the clouds and the day brightened beautifully. I guess that flexibility is what makes Manor House Hotel an accommodating wedding venue. If you’re fallen in […]
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 […]
A quick preview of Jeff & Anne’s beautiful outdoor wedding at Whatley Manor from this weekend. If you’re having a small wedding this will be one to watch out for. Whatley Manor is a splendid Boutique Hotel in the Costwolds catering for a limited number of weddings each year, providing the perfect balance of intimacy and luxury. […]
With a weekend heat wave on the cards I slapped on some sun cream and prepared for Scott and Hayley’s outdoor wedding at Kingscote Barn. It was forecast to be a day of wall to wall sunshine and 20 degrees. In reality it was probaly a little warmer, yet thankfully not scorchio (ohh just wait […]
If you’re thinking of having an outdoor wedding ceremony, there are only a few places to choose from in Gloucestershire and Rococo Gardens is one of them. Clearly not for the feint hearted, as the fall back solution is, well….umbrellas! Nevertheless Mark and Sharon loved Rococo Gardens and knew it would make the perfect wedding […]
I had a doubler header this bank holiday weekend with the first wedding at Friars Court in Oxfordshire. This venue is perfectly suited to outdoor wedding ceremonies (which are becoming ever more popular), but a spanner can be thrown into the works when the weather has other ideas. Reported 25mph winds and heavy rain aren’t […]
I’ve been brave. I went across the bridge…you know the one, where they make you pay to go into Wales….shock horror. I left the comfort of Gloucestershire last weekend and headed to the hills in the picturesque area of Usk, near Newport, South Wales. You can probably guess from the name ‘Heulwen’ she’s a […]
Although Friars Court is a wedding venue I work at fairly often, I don’t actually know Oxfordshire all that well. As a general rule I photograph more weddings in Gloucestershire, but certainly enjoy a trip ‘slightly’ further afield in the Cotswolds when possible. Last weekend it was Lee & Tracey’s turn to tie the knot, […]
Saturday the 18th August is a special day, not only was it Ashley & Laura’s wedding day, but also my little girls birthday. In true Matt Davis style though, I postponed birthday arrangements and ended up at work in Oxfordshire, returning to the popular wedding venue of Friars Court. I did miss out on pony […]
