Wedding Photos Barnsley House

A short slideshow of wedding photos from Barnsley House.

I'd meant to post this somewhat ages ago, and seeing as it's almost the one year wedding anniversary of William & Kelly, perhaps now's the right time to pop up this wonderful slideshow of photos from their wedding at Barnsley House last May!

Anyone looking for a Barnsley House wedding photographer drop me a line or visit my website (www.mattdavisphotography.co.uk) for further information.

You can see several more Barnsley House weddings here on my blog too.

Barnsley House - Cotswold Wedding Venue

Barnsley House, what a cracking wedding venue.  Not only is this the perfect Cotswold Wedding Venue, but on a warm spring day, with a lovely couple and incredible guests you simply can't get much better than Will & Kellys wedding.
It was a wedding with yet another international contingent, with Wills (aka Bill) family coming from America, and Kelly's being from South Africa.  It was only a small wedding (by some standards) with around 40 guests.  This made it an intimate affair and the day was very well planned, with the ceremony at 4pm, evening dinner around 6pm, followed by drinks outside at eight.  I'm sure more weddings should follow this theme, so if you're reading this and have a small wedding it's certainly worth considering.
So without further ado, get a coffee, sit down (as I've gone waaaaaay over board on the number of photos featured) and take a look at some photos from the wedding.




I've photographed a couple of weddings at Barnsley House before, but never have I covered an outdoor wedding ceremony......and what a day for it - prefect.



Wedding shoe detail photos.  Not every bride wants or even likes them........I however decided to take a couple of options on this occasion - so (a) or (b)?  You get a little more flavour of Barnsley House interior design in (b)........so for that reason it gets my vote!





Why do curlers amuse me??? I don't know, but for some reason they make for a fine photo IMO.


Williams sister was blowing kisses at her son after he woke up from his afternoon power nap!  








The boys were great fun to cover and with them only being 20 paces from the bridal suite it was super simple to stop by for a few pre wedding shots.






You may like this photo, you may not, but it has a sense of movement (as Will puts his jacket on) and I kinda liked it!





It's soooooooo tiring having your hair done huh!











Will and his sister



I'm seeing a green theme for bridesmaids again.  Must be the 4th or 5th wedding this year.  Works well in the garden setting too huh?


Dum dum de dum.  More a stroll across the garden  than a walk down the aisle.







For those wishing to know, it's not always possible to get a photo of the 'ring going on'.  Why.....welll too many hands, people and too much bad light usually make it impossible.  This time it worked a peach though.




Possibly one of my favourite photos from the wedding.

Barnsley House Cotswold Wedding

With a busy week of weddings (3 in total) I thought it would be nice to show a preview from the wedding at Barnsley House last night.  I say last night, it stared at 4:30pm, which I personally think makes for a great time.

Will & Kelly had the most beautiful day for a wedding.  Set at Barnsley House it was perfect for their international guests (coming from America and South Africa) to really appreciate what the Cotswolds has to offer in terms of boutique hotels and fine dining.

Check back next week for the full blog post showing their outdoor wedding ceremony.

Wedding testimonials - Barnsley House, Cotswolds

I recently received this lovely email from Kerry and Chris who's wedding I photographed at Barnsley House in April this year.  Here's the link to check out the full blog from their wedding day.

"Thank you for sending the link to the photos and blog. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you with our selections for the album – it was a very tough choice with all the fabulous photos that you took! 

We also wanted to tell you how thrilled we are with all the photos. When we booked you, we were looking for a photographer who could tell the story and capture the feel of the day in pictures, and that's exactly what we got from you. You have such a relaxed approach that you managed to make everyone feel at ease, and also managed to capture a lot of shots without us even knowing! Everyone who has seen the photos has said how amazing they are and we will certainly be happy to recommend you once our friends finally get round to tying the knot.

Thanks again, and we look forward to the album!"

Kerry & Chris

They had a beautiful day for their wedding at Barnsley House.  Reception drinks on the lawn.

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!
