Engagement photos Cheltenham - Jonathan & Laura

Jonathan and Laura will be getting married later this year at Kingscote Barn.  As a warm up we did some engagement photos, which if anything, made me realise their wedding sure will be fun.

Jon and Laura's two dogs were a great addition to our photo shoot.  It's certainly not easy to photograph pets, they tend not to respond quite as you may hope. 









Pity we didn't bring some bread hey?


I'm just lovin' this angle - so funky.





This is one of my favourite photos from the engagement session.  Lets see if Laura can pull that pose off in a wedding dress!?





Whilst Jonathan was off stopping the car alarm (again!), I told jokes.......clearly I'm far funnier that I first thought.






Cosy huh - how cute are these two?

Barnsley House Wedding Cirencester

Chris and Kerry - 25th April 2010

April threw up some tricky weather for this wedding......a threat of rain (which came true), then blinding sunshine.  Thankfully the day worked out well despite a shower or two and the guests enjoyed a fine wedding at Barnsley House.




Barnsley House is a super venue, the perfect Cotswold wedding retreat.If only the Daffodils were still out for my photo.


Me, make-up and reflections.  I'm sure there's a trend going on with my photos.





It's a popular place 'the village pub' in Barnsley.  I was here on Valentine day too for the wedding of David and Helen.  A great spot and certainly handy for the church.



This is EXACTLY the sort of thing that happens when you drink beer.












St Mary's Church, Barnsley.




Only limited photos were allowed in the church, so I had to get my shots from the back.  Worked a treat when Chris and Kerry turned around though.












Back to Barnsley House for the wedding drinks reception.  First a mingle at the front......


....... then off around the back to the croquet lawn.



The bubbles are clearly making someone giggly!  


Quaint huh, Barnsley House has such nice gardens - loads of options for photos and these tulips make a great accent.




Inside was presented beautifully ready for the wedding breakfast.




....and the best wedding cake award goes to Kerry's sister who made it - how cool is that?




Fellow paparazzi, although these appear to be drinking on the job!


10 mins for some couple portraits and such perfect light for me too.






Did I mention the great gardens :-)  Endless opportunities.  More weddings at Barnsley House please.

The best mans speech was super, if not a little shocking in places!

If my photos didn't turn out I could always call on this guy for his iphone snaps.  Nice composition too.


Cheers and goodnight!
