Wedding testimonial - Bay Tree Hotel, Burford

It's very rewarding taking great photos on someone's wedding day, and better still when my clients write lovely emails to me with thanks.  I recently had this from Sally, who got married at The Bay Tree Hotel.  It was the last paragraph that stopped me in my tracks.  I spend far too much time deliberating about how to describe my approach as a photographer, yet with 4 or 5 key words Sally hit the nail on the head.

Hi Matt

I hope you're well. Pete and I arrived back from honeymoon this morning and we wanted to get in touch without delay to say how thrilled we are the pics. They are simply stunning and have completely surpassed our expectations. You've managed to capture some really special moments - often without us even realising you were there snapping away!

Over the next couple of days we'll have a good look through the album proof. There are probably a handful of pics we would change but nothing major. We love the way the album is composed so we don't want to make too many changes. So I'll come back to you on this early next week, if that's ok.

Once again, big thanks to you for your professionalism, sense of humour and energy on the day and for some truly amazing photographs!

Best wishes,

Sally and Pete

Gloucestershire Wedding Photographer - Bay Tree Hotel, Burford

I may be a wedding photographer based in Gloucestershire but the wedding venue of Bay Tree Hotel  has eluded me for some years.  It's only a stones throw away in the popular Cotswold village of Burford...packed with olde charm and a lot of tourists!

Pete and Sally chose this venue, but perhaps not the weather.  We've had April showers pretty much throughout the whole of June, and I'll have you know Mr weather man, this doesn't make it easy when your job is a wedding photographer.  No sooner did we have guests out for some group shots, the black clouds rolled in and within 10 mins it'd changed from blinding sunshine to heavy rain.  Needless to say it all added to the days events and became part of the wedding day itself.

Sally had a great wedding dress and this detail shot really shows off the ruffles (is that what they're called?).


I've not seen wedding shoes by Kirk Geiger before.  I rather liked these - probably because I have shoes by that designer myself.




That's them...the ruffles on Sallys wedding dress.  See what I mean now?






It took about 5 attempts to get this on :-)


This is something I often point out to brides - dry your flowers in good time before you need them.







How excited does Pete look?
