Last weeks wedding at Kingscote Barn was a scorcher. The current heatwave throughout July & August has definitely been enjoyable for the shorts & flip flop wearing folk, but donning a suit or a wedding dress (I’m reliably informed of the latter having not actually tried it myself), is close to torture! Whilst my kids […]
Ellenborough Park wedding photos – Daniel & Noelia
Not all weddings follow convention. Daniel & Noelia’s day (well the planning anyhow) was no exception. They first came to me as Noelia had fallen in love with my photography, yet they didn’t really have a wedding venue planned, so to say they were booking me ahead of the key events could be considered an […]
Cripps Barn wedding photography – Tom & Anna
Tom & Anna got married at Cripps Barn, Gloucestershire, which is a venue I’ve worked at several times previously, but not so much in recent years. They’ve clearly done a great deal of work to improve it since my last visit, with a permanent oak framed reception building, (as opposed the marquee), the option to […]
Rococo Gardens wedding photos – Mark & Sharon
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 […]
Weddings at Berkeley Castle – Tilmann & Beth
I’ve photographed many weddings at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, but last weekend had a more European feel than usual. Tilmann & Beth had a significant number of friends and family who had traveled from Holland and Germany to attend the wedding, giving it a new dimension with multiple languages to deal with. Richard the Vicar […]
Wedding at Friars Court – Lee & Sarah
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 […]
The Hare and Hounds wedding photos – Daren & Ruth
Daren & Ruth’s wedding booking came very late by typical standards, only securing my services about two months before their wedding date. Clearly they must be a laid back couple, or simply happy to go with any photographer who was available ;-) Once we met up and started chatting, I realised it wasn’t the […]
Dumbleton Hall wedding photos – Andrew & Hannah
I’m never really sure if Dumbleton Hall should be considered a Cotswolds wedding venue, as despite it’s proximity to quintessential Cotswold villages (such as Winchcombe) it actually has a Worcestershire postcode. The fact it’s right on the edge of the Gloucestershire county boundary and only a stones throw from my home in Cheltenham, always makes it […]
Wedding photographer Gloucestershire – Piers & Antonia
I originally met Antonia’s mum at the Kingscote Barn wedding fair in March 2012. She’d been looking for a wedding photographer in Gloucestershire and decided despite the event taking place in a marquee in their own garden, she’d have a look around the fair to meet up with a few local suppliers. I guess if […]
Civil Partnership at Ellenborough Park – Steve & Graham
My routine normally evolves around weddings at the weekends, but this week saw me photograph a Civil Partnership at Ellenborough Park in Gloucestershire instead. I’ve photographed a couple of Civil Partnerships over the past few years, each very different. On this occasion it was an intimate ceremony with only 13 guests, followed by reception drinks […]
