I couldn’t fault Libby & Luke’s wedding day if I tried. They got married at The Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh on a sunny summer day, and had a beautiful outdoor ceremony with harp music creating the perfect ambience for this stylish Cotswold wedding. The reading from the story “The Velveteen Rabbit” by Libby’s mum added a lovely touch. The ceremony was conducted by Madeleine – the friendliest registrar I’ve met so far, which made my job a little bit easier! For Bride & Groom photos we went to the nearby Batsford arboretum, which Libby and Luke chose for lots of space and natural backdrops. The speeches were very touching and humorous, and the couple received lots of special gifts including a teddy that Libby played with as a little girl. The smallest gift was a single pea that Luke received for his “princess”. Libby certainly looked like a princess in her beautiful dress! The bouquet toss was very popular and was done not once but twice, and the lucky ladies seemed to be very pleased with their catch. What I loved about this wedding was the relaxed atmosphere as everyone seemed to be having fun. Libby and Luke enjoyed their wedding cake and didn’t stop at having a formal cake cutting shot but really put their hearts into cutting and tasting it. Each level had different flavour and looked delicious.
Libby and Luke met on holiday a few years ago when Luke borrowed Libby’s suncream. Their holiday romance had the perfect ending with this beautiful Cotswold wedding. I’ve only met them a few times but I feel Libby and Luke complement each other and make a great couple. I would like to wish them a very happy marriage and to enjoy themselves while they travel the world. I loved meeting them and being their photographer!
The beautiful flowers we provided by The Bespoke Flower company based in Painswick, make up was done by Jo Stewart and hair by Natasha Wells. The guests enjoyed music by harpist Christine Kinder. Videographer of the day was Andy Barnard, it was nice to work with you!
What I always find really hard is selecting photos to blog. There are hundreds of photos that I love and it takes some time to narrow them down to a manageable selection that still tells the story of the day but is not too big! For this reason I exclude most of group and family shots. Here are my personal favourite photos of the day.
“Oh Camilla, the photos are just absolutely beautiful and I cannot thank you enough! We were really worried about the photography when we began planning the wedding as there are so many photographers to choose from, but we definitely made the right choice going with you. You have such a talent and an eye for small beautiful details. Thank you so much again, Libby and Luke x”

Earlier this summer I had a pleasure of photographing a special event at Painswick Rococo Garden in Gloucestershire. It was a very sweet baby naming/blessing ceremony held at the same spot where the new parents got married a couple of years before. Here is just a very small selection of photos I took that day. What a beautiful venue, no surprise it was named as one of the 50 best wedding venues by The Independent, and I would love to photograph a wedding there one day. I love the cute bunny cake too!



Last month I had a pleasure of meeting this gorgeous family for their family and children photo shoot. It was a beautiful day and roses were in full bloom. They made a stunning backdrop for family photos! Here are some of my favourite shots (click read more below to see full blog post).



I love bump to baby photo shoots. Here are some photos taken nine weeks apart – same spot, different seasons, and a gorgeous new baby only a few days old.

A quick preview of Libby & Luke’s beautiful outdoor summer wedding at The Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh. Bride & Groom photos were done in the nearby Batsford Arboretum. It was a fantastic day and I can’t wait to share more photos in a couple of week’s time.



Rosy and Tom live in France and booked me via email. I am very excited to be their wedding photographer, and I was really looking forward to meeting them when they came to England for a week in May. Rosy and Tom are getting married later this summer and are having a countryside wedding near Stroud, Gloucestershire. Here are some of my favourite photos from their pre wedding/engagement shoot. I am very pleased that a couple of them won the Bronze Bar from The Guild Of Photographers.













A few of my favourite photos from a recent family photo shoot taken in the woods just outside Stroud, Gloucestershire


I enjoyed meeting this lovely family from Bristol for their wedding anniversary photo shoot at Matara centre, Gloucestershire. It made it even more special for the couple to bring their three month old baby son to the place they got married last year. The beautiful Matara gardens were perfect for family and baby photos, and we even had someone else’s dog joining us for a few shots 🙂 Here are my favourite photos.
