Laura and Simon - Cotswold Hotel and Spa, Chipping Norton

Laura and Simon balance each other perfectly and you can see how happy they are when in each others company.  They married at The Cotswold Hotel and Spa,  a beautiful venue set on a golf course near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

Laura was so calm when I met with her in the morning. Her room was buzzing with energy from the various Bridemaids, Mum's and guests popping in and out, and she took it all in her stride. Simon, however, was quite a ball of nerves, so I found it no surprise to find him in the bar area!

The ceremony was beautiful, taking place in the venues large and bright marquee.  Laura's brother looked so proud as he walked her down the aisle and you couldn't wipe the smile from the couple's faces.

Laura, Simon, myself and two of their party went for a spin on the golf buggies down to the lake for some photographs - and I have to say, Simon, you did ever so well! As someone who confessed he hated having his photographs taken, he was patient and smiley.  Laura, well she is just a natural and clearly the camera loves her!

On our return, the party commenced.  Lovely speeches were delivered before the meal and an amazing band partied the guests away into the night.  




























From Laura and Simon:  Thank you for the link to the wedding pics and also the package the other night. I've now had a proper look through the photos. I am over the moon with them! They really are great. Thank you so so much. Mum wants them all and I'm sure others will too when I get around to showing them. :)

Amanda and Chris - Heythrop Park, Enstone

Amanda and Chris married at the beautiful Heythrop Park, Enstone, which was the perfect setting for their laid back book themed wedding.  Amanda wore a short-length wedding dress, which she looked absolutely beautiful in, I always love the non-traditional dresses, they really add a little something special to the day.  

Luckily, the weather remained perfect all day, which meant that everyone could get into the gardens for some fun and games in the afternoon. Who doesn't love a game of Aunt Sally at a wedding!?

Abingdon Gardens Pre-Wedding Photos

Another location I have spent a while at this year is Abingdon Abbey Gardens.  It's such a great location for portrait shoots, and I have a few weddings in the area in the coming months, so it's been great to scope out the area in preparation!

Blenheim pre-wedding shoots

It's been a busy couple of months with pre-wedding photo shoots; getting the images photographed in the lead up to the wedding rush so that my lovely couples have their signing boards.

This month I have mostly been around the Woodstock and Bladon area, so here are just a few from these shoots...

Stuart and Joanna Pre-wedding shoot, Worcester College, Oxford

I love photographing around the various Oxford University colleges, I feel very privileged to be able to do so and have photographed in pretty much all of them now.

So when Stuart and Joanna asked me to join them in Worcester College I jumped at the chance.  It was a lovely opportunity to meet with the couple again and we spoke about their progress in their wedding plans. I very much look forward to their wedding soon.
