Back to some of my favourite wedding venues in the beautiful Cotswolds along with welcoming new ones too! No matter where you get married they all have the same amount of love and fun to capture and seeing how everybody puts their wedding day together in their own way fills me with joy. Look how happy everybody is!

Sudeley Castle 

Lapstone barn

Kingscote barn 

Cripps barn

Ellenborough Park

Manor House Hotel

The Old lodge

Coombe Abbey

The emotions, the detail, the hugging, the LOVE, the tears, the joy, the laughter!!

Considering the struggle some of my incredible couples have been through in getting there it was an absolute blast to finally capture people enjoying other peoples company all over again.

My last yearly round up was from 2019 which seems like so long ago, Check it out here

Nestled near the top of Cleeve hill and over looking so much of the Gloucestershire countryside (along with the Cheltenham racecourse) Ellenborough park is such a pretty place to get married.

It was a windy and rainy day this time so we grabbed some photos outside as and when we could but it certainly didn’t dampen any spirits. We live in the UK so for anyone worrying about rain on their wedding day all I recommend is just to completely embrace it, whether its August or December we never know when we might get it so always be prepared and just don’t worry about it.

Claire, Rob and all their guests had the best day and you can totally tell!

If you want to chat about how I could perhaps capture your day please do get in touch.

Sadie & Steve are both based in London, Sadie is originally from America but they wanted a true English countryside style for their wedding day so Sudeley Castle was the perfect choice. I’ve photographed many weddings here and they’ve all been so different in style.

“Nestled in the heart of the Cotswold Hills, Sudeley Castle is a truly unique venue, with a rich history and more than 1,200 acres of grounds. Romantic ruins and award-winning gardens create a beautiful, dramatic backdrop to your wedding.”

It’s a truly magical setting in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. Perfect in all weathers with the incredible mature gardens that always look amazing throughout the seasons. Theres a chapel in the grounds where you can have a blessing or you can get married in the Banqueting hall. You can even have a smaller ceremony in the library.

Surrounded by the beautiful Cotswold countryside

Being based in Cheltenham and surrounded by beautiful countryside there are just so many great wedding venues just down the road. This was my 10th wedding season and every year just gets better and better. I’m really looking forward to what 2020 will bring, I have a few spaces left in my diary so feel free to get in touch if you like what you see. Wishing everyone an awesome 2020!!

Kingscote Barn in the small picturesque town of Tetbury, Gloucestershire was the location of Laura & Lukes Cotswold barn wedding day. Probably due to the fact its such a great venue, snuggled in by the rolling cotswold hills making the perfect setting for a wedding. The only noise pollution was made by the sheep in the near field!

Kingscote Barn venue in Gloucestershire

Natalie got ready in the new make up suite at Kingscote barn, it’s so lovely and spacious. The perfect location to relax while they got pampered by Sasha Brown (make up artist) and Stacey Jade UK before the ceremony. The lighting in this room is also lovely so a perfect spot to get some details and getting ready photos.

Andy & the guys headed over to the barn in the morning to set a few things up and put their suits/ button holes on whilst catching up with the guests as they arrived.

After the ceremony guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the lawn supplied by the great caterers at Clever Chefs UK. (They are very lovely and the food is always excellent!)

Flowers were supplier by the talented Abbey Meadow Flowers

Evening entertainment was supplied by the the lovely DJ Neil from Dizzy Feet

Summer time photoshoot

I took the couple along with the bridesmaids and groomsmen off for a little wonder and a few photos around the grounds just before everyone sat down to dinner. The weather at this point was so perfect.  I sometimes get asked how long I stay at weddings but really i’m there for the whole thing! If the dance floors busy and you’ve got sparklers- like these guys did- then i’m hanging around!

If you’d like to view a full gallery for a barn wedding or Kingscote in particular feel free to get in touch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ellenborough Park is a luxury 5 star hotel and spa situated near the highest point in the Cotswolds overlooking the Cheltenham race course. Making it a great place to stay if you’re visiting the races but also a picturesque location for your wedding day being a 15th century country estate.

The surrounding countryside and cotswold stone building really made the best backdrop for Natasha & Marcus’s day.

The whole day was spent at Ellenborough Park. Natasha and the girls got ready just above the gallery in which they were to be married. Marcus and the boys got ready the other side of the hotel and the wedding breakfast was just a stones through from the ceremony room. No time was wasted traveling anywhere! They had a falconry display for the guests to also watch whilst they enjoyed canapés and cocktails on the lawn.

It was such a pleasure to be a part of their day! Heres a slideshow showing a couple of images but if you’d like to view more from Ellenborough park please get in touch.

A picturesque venue set in a little village between Cheltenham and Bristol, surrounded by the rolling Cotswold hills and woodlands.

Rachel & Steve had the most amazing weather for their wedding day back in July. With the village church just over the field this was the perfect location for them to get hitched.

The bride Rachel and her bridesmaids all got ready at Eastington Park in the morning whilst the guys only popped in to put on their button holes before heading over to the church. Rachel is a hair colour specialist at Stuart Holmes in Cheltenham so she had a whole team of experts helping them get to ready (I LOVE her head piece!).

Natural and relaxed wedding photos set in an 18th century manor house

With so many great places to get photos we were spoilt for choice. The low light coming through the trees after dinner is always my favourite time to take the couple away for 10 minutes or so. They can reflect on the day (and actually see each other for a second!) and I can grab some shots.

So happy for these 2. The day was just awesome from start to finish and they both didn’t look to shabby either 😉

Tetbury is a beautiful town in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. While its also known for having the most amount of antique shops in a row its also home to some of the most gorgeous wedding venues in the country.

The Matara centre in Kingscote Park is tucked away into the trees and only when you go and look a little further can you really see how stunning this place is.

Katy & Johnny are a lovely couple with a great sense of humour! We met up a couple of times in Cheltenham to run through ideas and generally to get to know one another more. When eating Katys very tasty homemade biscuits I knew we were going to get on very well indeed ;)!! They both wanted a totally natural approach of photography on their day whist they also had a few ideas saved on Pinterest that we wanted to get too. I’m always so happy to brain storm ideas, this gives me a great idea of what expectations people have. I love to be creative so new challenges are always exciting!

I’m so happy for Katy and Johnny, their day was such an honour to be apart of! Heres a little snippet of there day for you.

If you are getting married and would like to chat more about your day please get in touch.

Having grown up in Cheltenham my grandparents would always take me (and my brother and sister) to Sudeley Castle and we loved it! So many amazing hiding places around the grounds, secret tunnels, an adventure play area- its a Childs dream! Its also a photographers dream with so many great places to shoot. Set in the gorgeous rolling countryside in the heart of Winchcombe, a small village just outside Cheltenham with the most beautiful views.

Perfect Sunny day in Gloucestershire

It was the brightest, warm and sunny July day. Ellen the Bride and Grace the Maid of Honour got ready at Ellen’s parents house in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. Charlie the groom is from Australia so we were extremely lucky to show his guests how amazing the weather can be (occasionally) here in the UK. He was busy enjoying breakfast and getting ready with his ushers, best men and all the Auzzy lads.

Relaxed and natural wedding photography

Ellen and Charlie wanted their wedding day captured as naturally as possible which is what i’m all about. The photos below give you a little insight to their amazing day, so much fun, love and laughter. The chapel for their blessing is on the grounds at Sudeley, right next to the rose garden where the guests soon enjoyed drinks and canapés. A quartet was playing on the grass where the Castle ruins are in full view. An incredible building with such amazing history (definitely worth a visit!). A huge congratulations to Ellen and Charlie, thanks for letting me capture your awesome day.
