Wedding photos Stone Barn, Aldwsorth

Sit down, get a cuppa and enjoy a few wedding photos from Stone Barn, Aldsworth

September 3rd - simply the best date to get married (or am I slightly bias, seeing as it's my wedding anniversary?)  Colin and Kim planned their wedding at the recently opened wedding venue Stone Barn, Aldsworth, which is owned by the same team as Cripps Barn nearby in Cirencester.

To have an easy going couple, with great friends always makes for a brilliant wedding day atmosphere and this was one of them.  Wedding details were apparent everywhere, from my first call at Kims parents home near Swindon, to the wedding cake (which was made by one of their friends).

I hope Colin & Kim enjoy their honeymoon in Singapore & Bali, weirdly the exact same destination Ali & I went for our honeymoon too....spooky.









There's always one.  Note for all: put on perfume before dress.


So this (above) is your standard dress going on shot.


Next we have the birds eye view.  Only on your wedding day would you let a close friend fondle about under your dress!


Love the eyes.......fab huh?




Inside Aldsworth Stone Barn set ready for the wedding ceremony.














Cute.  No where near the bride and groom....but good effort and totally impromptu.














Wedding group shots.  Yep.....I do 'em.....and sometimes I even have the blokes hold the flowers :-)  Ahh okay, this was the bridesmaids idea, but it entertained me.


With 500mph winds around the Stone Barn, finding a 'non windy' spot for some couple portraits wasn't exactly easy.  Suffice to say, just about one spot (and one spot only) was suitable, so we took a few shots and planned to get some more later when the wind would die down (and we'd have a more interesting sky).  All this was decided with my fingers firmly crossed.


Ahh look, another group shot - I know, two in one blog post, madness hey!

Kim had a fantastic sweetie bar at her wedding.  A brilliant variety of old fashioned sweets, plus a fabulous assortment of jars to display them.

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?
