Milton End Barn wedding Gloucestershire farm

A Colourful, Laid-Back Wedding at Milton End Barn, Gloucestershire

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this vibrant and fun wedding at Milton End Barn, a stunning venue on a working farm in the Gloucestershire countryside. It’s the perfect setting for couples who want a relaxed, fun atmosphere with plenty of time to truly enjoy their wedding. Unlike most other venues, Milton End offers a few days’ stay, allowing plenty of time for celebration and reducing the stress of the day. It is also a dog friendly venue with lots of space for fun photo walks with the dogs.

This luxury barn is surrounded by beautiful backdrops that make for incredible wedding photography — from rustic courtyards and countryside views to animal pens with piglets and a glamping field with bell tents. Every corner of the venue offers something unique and photogenic, just a short walk away.

The day began with a heartfelt ceremony in the barn. Colorful confetti followed, along with drinks and canapés. An amazing wedding breakfast and emotional speeches came next. As night fell, the courtyard transformed into a lively party space, complete with a wood-fired pizza car and live music from the Tux Fizz wedding band — the dancefloor stayed packed until the early hours!

I captured this beautiful celebration in a natural, documentary style — focusing on genuine moments, emotions, and the unique energy of the day.

The Old Lodge wedding on Minchinhampton Common

It was a pleasure to photograph this beautiful wedding The Old Lodge Hotel and Restaurant on Minchinhampton Common near Stroud in the Cotswolds — and it was such a great day from start to finish.

The ceremony took place outdoors under the pagoda, with the sun shining and a clear blue sky overhead. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, filled with laughter and fun wedding games — exactly as the couple had hoped.

One of the highlights was heading out onto the common at sunset for some dramatic, fun, and dreamy photos with the couple, their dog, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The Old Lodge is such a wonderful spot for a laid-back wedding, with stunning views and plenty of space to enjoy!

It was such a pleasure to meet this lovely family for a natural photo shoot in the Cotswolds. We spent a relaxed evening wandering through summer flower meadows, enjoying roses and lavender in the garden and soaking in the stunning countryside views. We wrapped it all up with a golden sunset shoot — the perfect end to a dreamy family photo session.

Surprise Proposal Photography in the Cotswolds

It was a true pleasure to assist my wonderful client in planning his surprise proposal and to capture such a meaningful moment in the idyllic Cotswolds. I absolutely love documenting genuine reactions and raw emotion—especially in a setting as breathtaking as this. It truly was the perfect day for making unforgettable memories.

As the couple was heading towards a historic stone bridge, a beautiful kingfisher made a surprise appearance—an incredibly special and symbolic moment that added even more magic to the scene.

Following the surprise proposal, we had a relaxed and fun engagement photo session, exploring the charm of this beautiful village. Every moment was filled with love, laughter and joy .

Baby Baptism Photography in the Cotswolds

I am delighted to share a few favourite photos from a gorgeous family photo shoot and baby baptism ceremony in the heart of the Cotswolds.

It was such a pleasure to meet this wonderful extended family at their cosy cottage and capture some truly special moments as they prepared for the christening. The day was filled with warmth, joy, and love as families gathered from around the world to celebrate this beautiful occasion.

The baptism took place at Holy Trinity Church in Chipping Norton, a charming and historic church nestled in one of the most picturesque parts of England. The ceremony was intimate, joyful and fun – an occasion made even more memorable by the heartfelt connections shared among the guests.

It was an honour to document such a meaningful celebration in this beautiful corner of the Cotswolds.

Relaxed Wedding Photography at Matara in the Cotswolds

It was a pleasure to photograph this stunning spring wedding at Matara near Tetbury in the Cotswolds! Set within 28 acres of woodland, lakes, and flower meadows, Matara truly is a photographer’s dream. It offers a wealth of backdrops—from koi ponds in the cloistered courtyard to blossoming orchards, bridges, and labyrinths—perfect for capturing a wide variety of beautiful and memorable images.

With its dramatic light, unique architecture, and connection to nature, the venue provides endless opportunities for creative photography. The couple held their outdoor ceremony in the cloistered courtyard, followed by a drinks reception in the welcome courtyard and a wedding breakfast in the Hilarium. In the evening, the Hilarium was transformed into a ballroom where guests enjoyed ceilidh dancing in this stunning space.

The couple wanted their day captured in a relaxed, informal, and storytelling style, which perfectly suited the vibe of the Matara Centre. It was a joy to document all the laughter, emotions, and natural, candid moments throughout the day.

I absolutely love this gorgeous venue and can’t wait to be back!

The White Horse Barn Bristol wedding photographer

I’m excited to share some of my favourite moments from a beautiful May wedding at The Barn at The White Horse in Hambrook — a dreamy, rustic venue nestled on the edge of Bristol. This early 19th-century barn has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its original character with exposed stone walls, timber beams, and elegant sash windows — the perfect backdrop for romantic wedding photography. Set within the gardens of The White Horse pub, the barn is surrounded by tranquil woodlands and a spacious garden that leads down to the Bradley Brook. It was a real pleasure to document this stunning day in a relaxed, natural style, just as the couple envisioned.
