Cotswolds Stone Barn Wedding Photography

Kevin did the photos at our wedding and they have come out stunningly. He was so chilled to work with, great at making sure we got all the right shots, lots of fab suggestions and was very patient when the timing of the day went a bit awry.

We can't recommend him enough. If you want photos that are beautifully set, great mix of moods and really capture the fun and joy of your wedding, definitely book Kevin in! - Rufus & Tabitha -

An intimate laid back wedding that was overflowing with love and laughter.

A gorgeous late summer wedding day in the Cotswolds is what every wedding photographer loves. I’ve worked at the Cripps Stone Barn wedding venue on the outskirts of Cheltenham numerous times and always love shooting there. With stunning views of the Cotswold Hills and interesting rustic backdrops I always have a smile on face when I get a booking there. Rufus and Tabitha decided on a smaller intimate wedding ceremony in the barn with just their closest family and friends before celebrating with over 120 guests who arrived a little later. Making full use of the outside space and the warm late summer sun it really did feel like a proper celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly laid back couple to work with!

Relaxed Informal Wedding Day in Shoreditch

“We hired Kevin for our wedding this year in May. He was so easy to work with in the run up to the wedding, with clear communication and quick replies. On the day it was a pleasure to have him with me, my family and friends as we were getting ready. The photos he took captured our day perfectly and we loved every single one! We can’t stop looking at them. I highly recommend Kevin, for his professionalism, calming personality and absolutely fantastic photography skills. 5* thanks again!”

I shoot quite a lot of weddings in London every year and last year was no different. It’s a location I always love going to because it throws up so many alternative and urban wedding photography locations. Plus I just like the London vibe, the hustle and bustle! My family who live in Berkshire are not too far away either so it’s an opportunity to drop in for dinner!

Sarah and Daniel were a dream to work with from start to finish. They were laid back and knew exactly the kind of wedding photography they were looking for. Nothing stuffy and formal just super relaxed, informal, documentary shots that capture the day as it naturally falls into place. This is just what I do so I couldn’t wait to start!

Sarahs bridal prep was at her apartment in North London. I was immediately made to feel welcome by her bridesmaids and parents who insisted I have a cup of tea before I start work! I always make sure I photograph the small details throughout the day and that includes things like someone making tea, breakfast, all the things that go into making the day real. Again, it’s documentary wedding photography which is capturing people being themselves.

The dress is on and Sarah is looking amazing!

Something I often hear in the morning is “where has the time gone?” It’s true, the time soon disappears and before you know it the nervous excitement in the air has ramped up! We were soon heading down the stairs and jumping in the waiting cabs. I remember the day being super sunny with harsh shadows in certain areas so the challenge was maintaining good exposure. I shoot in manual mode so it’s something I have full control over and can change my settings in an instant.

The ceremony was held at Museum of the Home, formerly the Geffrye Museum. The museum is an 18th-century Grade I-listed former almshouses on Kingsland Road in Shoreditch, London. The ceremony room was lovely and light which created nice even lighting throughout. As much as church weddings are brilliant and atmospheric the lighting is never normally the best so this modern light, airy ceremony room was great. Drinks were had outside in front of the magnificent building where we also spent a few minutes taking some fun, relaxed couple shots. Thankfully Sarah and Dan didn’t want many group photographs and instead wanted to spend the time with their friends and family.

After jumping on a waiting red London bus, the party headed for The Londesborough Pub and Kitchen in Stoke Newington where the wedding reception was to be held. This pub was amazing, I loved capturing all of the fun and laughter during speeches as there were so many expressive faces! As you can see from the pictures in the blog it was decorated brilliantly so I made sure this was captured on camera.

We nipped out before the sun set for a few more couple shots around the streets to make best use of the area before heading back inside for the evening shenanigans! For many reasons it was definitely one of the weddings of the year for me!

All the best to Sarah & Dan!

London to Cliveden House Wedding Day

“We LOVE the photos and slideshow, thank you so much!!”

It was a pleasure photographing Abigail and Henry on their special day last year. Having found me online and after just a couple of emails I was booked and already looking forward to what would be a brilliant occasion. The wedding day would be split between London and Maidenhead as each location had a very special meaning to Abigail and Henry.

The day started nice and early at Cliveden House. It’s a luxury hotel in Maidenhead and would later that day be the location for the evening meal and celebrations. I parked up and got a taxi to The Bridge Hotel in London where Abigail was with her besties for bridal prep. As a photographer having a clear travel plan of how to get to the various locations on a wedding day is so important. Thankfully between the bride and groom and myself we figured out the logistics perfectly.

I stayed with Abigail for the duration of bridal prep and hopped in the taxi with her and her brother to St Marys Church in Barnes where her dashing groom Henry would be ready and waiting for the wedding ceremony. St Marys is a lovely big church with plenty of room for myself as a photographer to capture all the good stuff! :-)

It was time for the confetti shot and boy did the happy get confettied, is that even a word! There was enough confetti for three weddings, you’ve got to love it when the whole basket gets emptied!

Take that!! Everyone loves confetti!

Instead of everyone driving to the pub reception the bride and groom took some time out to walk to the The Watermans Arms, on the bank of the River Thames in Barnes. I love it when this happens as so many picture opportunities present themselves and you never know what will happen. We came across cars hooting their horns, children looking on in awe at the beautiful wedding dress, shop keepers wishing them good luck! All of the locations Abigail and Henry passed meant something to them which adds emphasis to the photography and capturing the moments.

After the cutting of the cake with a gigantic military sword :-) and eating some delicious fish and chips it was time to jump in a cab and shout “ follow that car” as we headed off to Cliveden House. The bride and groom really wanted some photographs taken before the guests arrived and despite my driver taking the wrong turn (much to my frustration) we made it! Cliveden House is a beautiful and majestic luxury venue set in Maidenhead. Built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham as a gift to his mistress, it is now an exclusive 5 star hotel.

The room where the wedding reception took place was incredible with gold plated ceilings lined with art and features. As more guests entered the room it became standing room only for the speeches. The day finished downstairs where the dancing shenanigans took place. It was a brilliant wedding day and almost felt like two weddings in one!

Congratulations to Abigail and Henry!
