Luke and Leeane’s Barn at Berkeley Wedding

 

I was incredibly excited to be Leeanne and Luke’s Barn at Berkeley Wedding Photographer.

The couple had booked a slightly extended twilight package at the venue which meant their day was slightly more condensed than traditional British weddings.

It was early autumn which meant beautiful light, a cosy vibe and twinkly fairy lights to play with too!

The Barn at Berkeley is a gorgeous Gloucestershire wedding venue, just north of Bristol city.

The Client’s said…

“Becky is the most incredible wedding photographer!

Not only are her photos beautiful but she has such a lovely, calm, friendly manner and she will honestly just feel like one of your guests who happens to have a camera.

We couldn’t recommend her more!”

An Autumn Cotswolds Wedding 

Luke and Leeanne celebrated their gorgeous autumn wedding at the Barn at Berkeley in Gloucestershire. The venue, nestled between Bristol city and the Cotswolds, blends rustic charm with modern interiors. It was a clear, chilly, Autumn day and the Barn’s stone walls and exposed timber beams provided a cosy, inviting backdrop, enhanced by twinkling fairy lights and lush seasonal foliage. The theme was earthy tones, soft candlelight and autumn colours.

The couple exchanged vows in The Loft, framed by stunning floral arrangements.  There were vases with water and floating candles lining the aisle which created a cosy, romantic feel. Leeanne wore an elegant lace wedding gown, and her bouquet featured eucalyptus, ferns and a soft pallet of roses. Luke looked dapper in a tailored tweed suit and matching buttonhole. The ceremony was conducted by Gloucestershire’s registrars and was short, sweet and loving.

After the ceremony, guests gathered in the barn’s courtyard to shower the couple in confetti.

Being a shorter, twilight package there was a short drinks reception during which guests mingled and enjoyed prosecco whilst I captured some group, family photographs and took the newly-weds for a stroll for some couple portraits. The outside of the barn was adorned with strings of lights, a perfect backdrop for some gorgeous photographs.

Before long the sun had set and guests gathered in the Barn, settled around candlelit tables and enjoyed listening to the traditional speeches which were given by the Bride’s father, the groom and the best men.

As the evening unfolded and evening guests arrived, Luke and Leeanne shared their first dance surrounded by their loved ones. The barn echoed with laughter and music as guests joined in, dancing and celebrating late into the night.

Before I left, the bride, groom and I snuck off outside to capture a night portrait of two, using off-camera flash the light my subject’s and fairly lights to create soft background bokeh.

The Hen house is a perfect on-site space in which either one of you can get ready for the day. Ceremonies can be held indoors in The Loft or, weather permitting, outside in the courtyard garden. The courtyard itself is a favourite spot for wedding receptions, where guests can enjoy drinks and canapes.

Up to 150 guests can be seated in the Barn itself. The venue has a neutral colour palette throughout, with nods to its rustic barn history.

The venue has in-house coordinators, offering full support in planning and coordinating every aspect of the day.
