April at Matara is just spectacular with lots of cherry blossom and spring blooms.

It was a pleasure to photograph this bright and colourful autumn wedding at the Old Gore Barn by Yard Space Events! Set in the beautiful Cotswold countryside the Old Gore Barn was cosy and warm and just perfect for a rainy day wedding with a candle lit ceremony and outdoor fires for keeping warm and toasting marshmallows.
There was so much to love about Shriya and Andy’s Old Gore Barn wedding: the sumptuous and rich colours, incredible henna tattoos, cosy fires, delicious food, live music, s’mores and mulled cider, sparklers, fireworks and a lot more! I especially loved Shriya’s henna tattoo of their cat who couldn’t make the wedding and paw prints on their wedding cake! The food was just incredible and the amazing Old Gore team was efficient and very helpful.
The stunning bride was wearing am open back satin dress by Allure Bridals and traditional Indian wedding jewellery complete with her grandmother’s gold bangle bracelet. A special Hindu bridal necklace, called a Mangalsutra was tied around Shriya’s neck by her new husband during the wedding ceremony as a symbol that the couple is bound in matrimony, and as an indication of the bride’s new status as of a married woman.

It was fun to photograph this surprise proposal and witness such a special moment with this lovely couple! She said yes! What a beautiful and romantic location for a natural and relaxed engagement photo shoot.
This is by no means an exhaustive list but some of the tips I have for better bridal prep photos
1) Remove clutter. Plastic bags, suitcases, boxes, etc. I often start shooting with asking to move things around and a bit of tidying up.
2) Prepare some nice dress hangers, they look so much better than cheap plastic hangers! Personalised bridesmaids’ hangers add a lovely finishing touch and make great keepsake gifts.
3) Have some matching robes or dressing gowns for the bridal party.
4) Allow enough time for hair and make up. A long and relaxed morning is better than stressing about being late.
5) Don’t forget to have fun!
6) Remember to eat and drink water, it a long day!
7) Make sure plenty of detail shots are taken, especially of items of personal significance.
8) Allow plenty of time to get dressed. Some dresses take ages to do up. A crochet hook really helps with button back wedding gowns.
9) Include your children. A little child under a veil or playing with bridal shoes makes cute photos. Small children will probably not remember your wedding day, have a good record to show them later.
10) Be ready in good time to allow enough time for photos. The rest of the day will go in flash, now it’s a good time to do some bridal portraits while your hair, make up and flowers are still fresh.

It was a pleasure to photograph this relaxed outdoor summer wedding at The Painswick hotel in Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds. The couple wanted natural, documentary-style images that captured the story and atmosphere of their day, along with the stunning surroundings of this manor hotel and its breathtaking countryside views. A truly perfect summer garden wedding!
Christmas in the Cotswolds is truly magical! There’s something about this part of England —its cute honey-coloured stone cottages, winding lanes, and picture-perfect scenes—that feels made for the festive season. I love living here and watching the villages and towns transform as December arrives, each one turning into its own little fairy-tale scene. Twinkling lights drape across old market halls, wreaths hang on centuries-old doors, and every shop window seems to glow with that cosy Christmas charm.
I couldn’t resist heading out with my camera on a damp December day to capture some of the beautiful decorations. From festive garlands wrapped around pub entrances to a Christmas tree in the middle of a river, the Cotswolds is overflowing with amazing backdrops—it’s impossible not to stop for a photo every few steps!
There’s truly no better place to soak up the festive spirit than the Cotswolds at Christmastime. If you’d like a stunning photo shoot in the Cotswolds- just let me know!
How stunning is this romantic castle-style wedding venue?
Birtsmorton Court is a historic medieval manor house, complete with a picturesque moat, nestled in the Malverns of Worcestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds. It was such a joy to photograph this fun and relaxed summer wedding!
The couple exchanged their vows in the on-site church before enjoying a courtyard and Secret Garden reception, followed by a wedding breakfast in the Linney — the venue’s charming party barn.
With its endless photo opportunities — from the 12th-century Great Hall and Tudor manor to the moated gardens, romantic courtyards, dreamy sunset fields, and rustic barn — Birtsmorton Court is truly a gem, offering an incredible variety of beautiful backdrops. It was a pleasure to photograph this stunning wedding in a natural and inobtrusive way capturing the story and atmosphere of the day.
It was a joy to photograph this lovely micro-wedding at the Stroud Registry Office in Gloucestershire in Cotswolds.

It was a pleasure to capture this special ceremony in a natural unobtrusive way.
What a joy it was to photograph this vibrant festival-inspired wedding in Stroud, in Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds! The bride looked breathtaking in a glittering gold sequin dress, topped with a ribbon-trimmed flower crown. Their humanist ceremony took place outdoors in a peaceful garden adorned with colourful bunting, a disco ball, and Tibetan and festival flags.
The heartfelt service was led by a celebrant who was also a close family friend, while guests offered their well wishes from cosy hay-bale seating. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a stunning, plant-based wedding breakfast by The Wild Pear catering inside a rustic marquee decorated with DIY touches and exquisite bespoke crockery handmade by the bride herself.
We were lucky to have a spectacular sunset for the couple’s portraits before the evening disco kicked off. The bride and groom had asked me to capture their day naturally and candidly—the fun, the joy, and the wonderful atmosphere—and it was truly a pleasure to do so!

It was a joy to photograph this colourful autumn wedding at The Matara Centre in the Cotswolds. The day had a beautifully relaxed, laid-back feel, set against the stunning grounds of this Gloucestershire venue. October is one of my favourite months for vibrant, rich autumn backdrops, and this wedding was no exception. The courtyards and gardens at Matara were a riot of colour, creating dreamy backdrops even under moody cloudy skies.
The celebration was filled with laughter, incredible food, and unforgettable moments, ending with a spectacular fireworks display over Kingscote House and delicious Woodfire pizza in a fairy-lit courtyard, followed by a live band and dancing in the Hilarium. I adore photographing cosy autumn weddings, and I can’t wait to return!

Capturing genuine reactions and pure happiness in a natural, unobtrusive way is always such a joy. Candid shots are some of my favourite! After the big “yes,” we enjoyed a relaxed engagement photo shoot, which I always aim to make as fun and effortless as possible.
