The Big Day

After some group photographs, candids and couple’s portraits it was time for the wedding breakfast. Guests were ushered into the Northwick Barn which was decorated beautifully. The room was set up with long harvest-style tables, and had an elegant, rustic vibe with runners of white fabric with greenery and candles for an air of romance. After the welcome dances and meat carving was over, the guests settled down to a delicious wedding breakfast cooked by the in-house catering team and speeches soon followed.

Once the more formal celebrations had finished, Matt, Tori, two of their groomsmen and I headed out into the surrounding Cotswold’s fields to let off some purple smoke bombs. The four of them ran around laughing while I photographed the chaos. I have never used smoke bombs before at a wedding, but they were awesome! I had pre-warned the couple that they can stain, and there was a definite tinge to Tori’s wedding dress train when we headed back to the barn. Fortunately, Tori didn’t care and was more interested in making memories than keeping her dress perfect! She also had a gorgeous evening gown to put on and so her maid-of-honour assisted her into this before cake cutting and the first dance.

Weddings in the Cotswolds

There is SO much to love about the beautiful Cotswolds. From rolling hills, endless fields, pretty stone walls and honey-coloured villages – it’s no wonder this is classed as one of the UK’s areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Ideally located on the borders of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire and Warwickshire its central location makes it an incredibly popular area for weddings.

Some of my favourite Cotswolds villages include Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Winchcombe. I have spent many a day walking in the Cotswolds countryside including  along the Cotswolds Way (though not all 93 miles of it!).

The reason the Cotswolds architecture is so pretty is the world famous Cotswolds stone. The yellow oolitic Jurassic limestone is used extensively in Cotswolds architecture, making its buildings effortlessly nestle into their beautiful surroundings.

I absolutely love photographing in this beautiful area. From wide-angled rolling landscapes to macro shots of rings on stone walls, it’s impossible not to be inspired by the beautiful Cotswolds.

Nothing says English Country wedding like a Cotswolds stone barn. Lapstone Barn is a grade II listed, exclusive use barn in the North of the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Historically a working farm, before famous painter Margaret Calkin James moved in. Later, it was converted to a furniture workshop before becoming the gorgeous wedding venue it is today.
