Michelle + Sean | Thornbury Castle, Gloucestershire

We are very lucky to have several chances a year to photograph weddings at Thornbury Castle.  It's such a romantic setting and there are lots of areas to go off the beaten track and explore.  Michelle and Sean had flown in from the USA and brought 70 of their friends and family with them!  They wanted something more natural and fun than the usual staged shots and were up for something different which makes our job even more enjoyable.  What a fabulous couple and their family and friends were a great laugh.  Here is a selection from the day...

Fiona + Haonan | Thornbury Castle, Gloucestershire

What a pleasure it was to photograph Fiona & Haonan and their wonderful family and friends in the magnificent surroundings of Thornbury Castle. King Henry VIII himself chose this castle to spend his honeymoon with Anne Boleyn. The traditions of the building and the history made for a very special day. Fiona wore a white wedding gown followed by a traditional Asian gown which made for some fabulous photos.

Alex + Elizabeth | Elopement, The Cotswolds

Another Cotswold Wedding shoot, this time with Alex and Elizabeth. These guys love the countryside and the woods where they live near Stroud. Sunshine and meadows were the backdrop for a low key, natural light wedding shoot. We shot this wedding in Cranham near Stroud in Gloucestershire, Alex was brought up in Cranham and loves the countryside around there which is typical of the Cotswolds. As a photographer I'm naturally drawn to epic locations especially the great outdoors. The Cotswolds lends itself to wedding photography as the light has a character all of its own  - golden and hazy in the summer and low golden red in the autumn and winter...
