I’m excited to share some of my favourite images from a beautiful winter wedding at Elmore Court in Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds. The wedding ceremony was held at St John the Baptist Church, a charming and welcoming village church.
Elmore Court, with its rich history and a picturesque setting, is a stunning venue in any season—and this winter celebration was no exception. The bridal party got ready in the elegant Smoking Room, which also made for some lovely portraits. Later, guests gathered in the grand Hall for a cosy winter drinks reception, before moving into the Gillyflower for a joyful wedding breakfast and lively Ceilidh dancing.
The couple wanted their wedding captured in a natural, candid style that told the story and reflected the atmosphere of their day. I thoroughly enjoyed documenting every moment in an unobtrusive way, focusing on all the emotions, fun moments and little details that made this wedding so special.
I’m delighted to share a selection of my favourite images from a stunning spring wedding at Owlpen Manor in the Cotswolds—a 15th-century manor house full of charm and countryside elegance.
The day began with a heartfelt ceremony at Holy Cross Church, a striking hilltop chapel that overlooks the Tudor manor below. Afterwards, celebrations continued with a beautifully styled rustic reception in the characterful Cyder Barn and The Pole Barn.
One of the highlights for me was capturing atmospheric bride an groom photos in the manor’s formal gardens, with their incredible views over the valley—a truly fairytale setting!

I’m excited to share some of my favourite moments from a beautiful March wedding at Lapstone Barn near Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds. This charming countryside venue offered the perfect rustic backdrop, and I was warmly welcomed by a pheasant on the winding country lane—such a magical start to the day.
The barn was styled with a cosy, inviting palette of rust, powder blue, and soft peach tones, creating a truly romantic atmosphere. It was an intimate and joyful celebration, and I loved capturing the genuine emotions and candid moments in a natural, unobtrusive way.
One of the sweetest touches was the capybara bride and groom cake toppers—absolutely adorable! The evening was unforgettable, with a spectacular fire performance by one of the bridesmaids (a professional performer) and a lively band that kept everyone dancing late into the night.
Lapstone Barn is such a special venue, and I can’t wait to return!
