Josie and Harry's Wedding Photos from Kingscote Barn in Gloucestershire

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Josie and Harry's wedding at Kingscote Barn in Gloucestershire. This is a truely stunning location which feels like it's in the middle of no where, surrounded by rolling hills. We were fairly lucky with the weather as the lead up to the day hadn't been good, although the sun didn't break out once the ceremony approached it didn't rain so we did get to make use of the gorgeous landscapes. Here is the full blog post of their wedding:


The whole wedding was to take place at the Barn so I got to take some of the barn before everyone arrived with a few of their details


Meanwhile, Josie was getting ready at a cottage in the grounds of the Barn so I went down before people arrived to photograph a few of Josie getting into her dress



Gorgeous!!!


Meanwhile the guests were arriving in possibly the coolest bus ever!


Josie arriving with her dad and bridesmaids


Moments before Josie went into the ceremony room and then being walked down the aisle by her dad


Harry waiting for Josie, doesn't look even slightly nervous


I absolutely LOVE this photo, the look on Josie's face is priceless!


Both of the ring exchanges, where no one made any mistakes... :) I actually love it when someone makes a slight slip with their words, it really lightens the atmosphere and reminds you that you're with your friends.



The first kiss


The moment on the left was while the couple were waiting to sign the register, Josie has such an expressive face it's awesome. Then the moment before they walked up the aisle.


We took a walk up onto the Barn's very long driveway which has cornfields on either side which was the perfect place to take some photos






There were giant games to keep the guests entertained while Josie and Harry were away which is such a good idea


The unique table plan, each table was named after a place that they have lived


A few details from inside the barn before they ate, they had a cake to cut, however instead of a big cake to feed everyone they had butter buns from Whiddetts, a bakery in Cirencester that Josie used to work, YUM!


Then onto the Speeches



Harry had three best men! That means three times the fear of what they might say :)




Harry and Josie just got back from a wonderful week in Italy. I hope you like what you see guys, see you soon!

Ruth and Chris Wedding Photos - Chedworth Church and Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Wow the time is flying, it's been almost 2 weeks since Ruth and Chris got married at Chedworth Church. The full post is finally here! I loved this wedding for many reasons, one of the main ones being the setting. I love Cheltenham and specifically the hills surrounding it of which their reception (at Ruth's parents lovely home) over looked. I used to travel through those hills daily when I studied in Cheltenham so feel quite happy there, it's just so lovely. It was a beautiful day, they were truely blessed. On with the photos:

As usual one of the first things I did when I got to Ruth's was take some of the dress and details, it was gorgeous outside and there was the perfect place to hang the dress. I particularly like the bottom two with the light coming through the top layer of the dress


Ruth looking beautiful before the dress and final touches and Ruby, Ruth's niece, watching the make up being done.


The lovely hairdresser and make up artist fussing over Ruth.


Ruth's sister and the make up artist helped Ruth into her dress and did up those many buttons!


The final touches


I then met Chris with his Ushers at the pub at Chedworth which is about a one minute walk from the Church


They then made this short walk, in style


Only stopping for adjustments


Flowers and the rings, need I say more


People arriving at the Church, this is a real gem of a Church, it's lovely and bright inside


The bridesmaids then arrived, Ruth's sister, best friend and little Ruby


Chris and Ruth arriving (although not at the same time)


Inside the lovely Church


If this isn't the cutest thing ever, I don't know what is!


Exchanging their rings


Yay for the first kiss!! I love the second photo of Chris and Ruth walking up the aisle, they started walking up pretty fast and everyone thought, hold on a second!! So they stopped :)


Confetti!! and lots of it


Awesome Bentley!


Then back to Ruth's parents home for drinks


With that wonderful view


We then went off into the garden to take some photos



I think the one on the right is one of my favourites


Some of the ushers and the best man messing around with Chris, they were all lovely guys who I felt would have all helped me if I needed it, but special thanks to Matt who gathered the troops!


Then everyone moved down to the marquee, this is just stunning

Inside and out

The second photo on the right here is of both Chris and Ruth's parents and grandparents etc wedding photos with a blank one in the middle waiting for their own photo, I thought this was a lovely touch and it's pretty cool knowing that's it's a photo that I have taken that will be in there.


They sat down for their meal and their sheep looked on as they ate.... lamb


Great speeches!




The night then turned colder and a lot darker, for anyone that knows, that marquee photo was taken at ISO 6400, 1/50 at f2.8, also known as, very dark!


All that's left is that first dance



I know that you're having a wonderful honeymoon Chris and Ruth, I'm looking forward to you seeing all of your photos, see you soon.
