Rachael & Craig – The Swan, Bibury

We always feel so proud too receive e-mails like this …….. “What can I say!!! Your photos brought all the feelings and emotions from our wedding day flooding back in an instant, I was lost for words, feeling emotional and smiling to myself all at the same time! You have captured the day exactly as it happened and it was so lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves. You also made our room look like a picture of total calm and tidiness!! (which made me chuckle as it so wasn’t!) To see everyone enjoying themselves was just magic. There are some truly stunning photos of Craig, me & Freya, Read More

Baby Bump Photography – Kelly

I had a really great time with Kelly photographing her baby bump. We photographed Kelly & Gareth’s wedding a couple of years ago so it was great news to hear that they were expecting. It was a really fun, relaxed session and it was lovely to catch up over a coffee.  I love to work with shadow & light in relaxed surroundings to give a variety of different moods to the photos: here are a few of my favourites.  For more details of pregnancy and newborn photo sessions, please contact Gillian.

The Bay Tree Wedding Photographers – Yen & Dries

Back again to The Bay Tree today, we love this venue: it has such character and the staff are so efficient & friendly, the food tastes pretty good too!  I love the story of how Yen & Dries met in Barcelona: Dries was at a conference and Yen was holidaying on her own after her sister was unable to join her.  Alone and at a loose end, they both decided to book themselves on a cycling tour around the city and the rest is history.  Fate was definitely intervening that day.  With family & guests flying in from Taiwan and Read More

Hare & Hounds Wedding Photographers – a few ideas!

The recent wedding open day at the Hare & Hounds gave couples the wonderful opportunity to look around this lovely country house hotel.  The hotel also features Jack Hare’s, it’s own pub which Chris & I often frequent afer visiting the next door arboretum!  The lounge has a crackling log fire, very welcome on chilly winter days and the large, comfy sofas are great for impromptu photos.  We always find the staff so efficient and welcoming, it’s a great place to hold your wedding.  The photos show some amazing suppliers: flowers, stationery, cakes, cars etc. and a few ‘arty’ photos Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographer – Rebecca & Chris

We had a real déjà vu moment when we arrived at Becky’s parent’s house, we entered only to see Amy, a guest from last week’s wedding.  We had chatted to her and she did mention she had her brother’s wedding to go to soon but we never imagined it would be Chris.  It was a very funny moment especially the look on Amy’s face when she saw us too!  Becky and her bridesmaids, Ellie, Sophie & Lily, were all getting ready in the living room which meant I could really capture the buzz and excitement of the morning.  Chris had Read More

Berkeley Castle Weddings – Kate & John

Berkeley Castle Weddings.  Kate & John held their wedding at Berkeley Castle, one of our favourite venues and just up the road from us.  Kate was early for the ceremony, that’s so unusual but so very welcome as we were able to capture some lovely, relaxed moments in the courtyard.  Some guests however, were not quite so punctual!  Kate looked stunning in a San Patrick satin gown with beaded straps and asymmetric ruched bodice adorned with unique appliqué down the side.  There were few funny moments in the ceremony, I won’t embarrass John but some of the wording was changed Read More

Kingscote Barn Wedding Photographers – Lisa & Andy

Kingscote Barn is one of our favourite venues: local for us and having met Lisa & Andy there recently for a pre-wedding shoot and coffee in the local pub, it was like meeting up with old friends.  After so much rain (remember all the recent flooding?) we had a dry day and also a tiny ray of sunshine, hooray!  It was fun watching the girls get ready and thanks to Ellie, the dresses finally got laced up!  Brandon wasn’t too impressed with his special present, a lovely teddy bear wearing a ‘best boy’ top as this was immediately jettisoned onto Read More

Eli – Portrait Shoot

Eli was booked in for his 6 month photo shoot and my, hadn’t he grown!  He looked gorgeous in his dungarees and stripy t-shirt.  Having photographed Naomi & Chris’ wedding a few years back and then Eli when he was first born, it was nice to catch up on the last few months including Eli’s first Christmas.  We got some great photos and Eli smiled even more broadly when he spotted his favourite teddies.  We look forward to seeing how much he has changed at his 12 month photo shoot.   Read More
