Hyde House Wedding Photographer

A Hyde House Wedding 

A beautiful Cotswolds Wedding Venue

“The photos are gorgeous Becky, thank you so much!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer with Becky.

From our first meeting, she was so lovely and friendly, instantly putting us both at ease.

On the day, she was absolutely fantastic.

Not only did she capture the most incredible photos, but she also played a vital role in our wedding’s organisation, helping us think through various aspects we hadn’t considered.

Would 100% recommend to other couples!“

A Cotswolds Celebration

We were fortunate to be able to use Hyde House’s oak-beamed porchway to frame the bride and groom and their guests for group shots. There were so many pops of beautiful, rich colours as many of the women wore gorgeous traditional sarees.

Before dinner was served, we headed out for some portraits away from guests. Roshni and Gautham were excited to see their lovely 9-month-old Labrador Nala who was being well looked after by their dog-walker. The couple lit up when they saw Nala, who wore flowers around her collar, especially for the occasion (half of which, had been eaten!).

Being a chilly blustery day, we headed into the shelter of the Grange for some portraits. Soft light came in through the window with a lovely fall off behind my subjects. We were able to use the window light to play about with different angles and get some beautiful moments between the new Mr and Mrs.  We used backlight to create some silhouettes of Gautham spinning his wife in the big bay window and side light for a flattering affect across the couple.

Guests were seated for the meal on our return to The Barn and the Master of Ceremonies announced the bride and groom while guests stood to clap and cheer their entry.

After dinner, toasting drinks were served and the two best men, the groom and the bride’s brother delivered their speeches. Roshni was particularly emotional during her brother’s speech.

Before the evening party started, the bride and groom snuck upstairs for a quick outfit change. Roshni wore a fabulous ivory two-piece trouser suit and Gautham looked dapper in a tuxedo. Outside the sunset over the Cotswolds hills and as the wind had finally subsided, a handful of guests braved the outside for a wonder around the gardens.

The Master of Ceremonies once again announced the arrival of Roshni and Gautham before cake cutting and the first dance ensued. Guests hit the dancefloor to party whilst the DJ played out.

Before it was time for me to leave, we wrangled a few guests outside for a sparkler exit beside Hyde House’s arbour and a night portrait of Roshni and Gautham using an off-camera flash. The arbour ceiling was white, enabling me to fire a flash upwards behind the couple to bounce light off the ceiling, lighting the subjects from above.

A wonderful wedding at Hyde House

Built from Cotswolds stone with a traditional oak-frame porch, Hyde House’s Barn is a fantastic space for receptions. It has high vaulted ceilings, double-height windows flooding the rooms with light, a stylish copper-topped bar with leather furnishings and on warmer days, doors open onto Hyde House’s terrace and gardens behind.

 If good weather allows, you can even get married outside under Hyde House’s Arbour. With the unpredictability of the great British weather, it’s nice to have an alternative, indoor option!
