Cotswold Life

I absolutely love being a photographer in the Cotswolds, it really is the most amazing place to live if you’re a fan of big skies and fresh air. I’ve been working here shooting weddings for many years now and I’m still finding hidden gems.  The Cotswolds encompasses such a large geographical area, including the counties of Oxfordshire, famous for its university town, Gloucestershire, should you fancy rolling some cheese, Wiltshire, home of the imposing historical sight of Stonehenge and Worcestershire, were talking Cathedrals, sauces, porcelain and cricket.  That’s a whopping 800 square miles and each area has its own defining identity.  I highly recommend popping into Diddly Squat Farm to enjoy some of Jeremey Clarksons finest produce or taking the camera to Broadway Tower to admire the view. There are plenty of market towns to visit in the heritage rich area, with more farmers markets and tractors than you can shake your bouquet at!

Wedding venues

So its no wonder its brimming with wedding venues and some of the best in the country.  From 5 star spa hotels, to rustic dry stone walled barns tucked into the rolling hills  and wild countryside where no matter how hard you party not a soul will hear you.  The Cotswolds has it all. Check out Cripps and Co for some fine examples of barn weddings.

Should you want something a little more resplendent there are stately homes, castles and lodges galore, hosting weddings for every possible style and budget.  With some of the best high end wedding suppliers to choose from in the country you can see why the ‘wolds’ is the go to area for lots of city based couples to tie the knot.  Your guests will be able to have a weekend retreat getaway, focusing on relaxing and pampering in preparation for your nuptials.  As they wander around the quintessential villages with their golden stone walls, making their own memories or heading to Bath or Cheltenham for shopping and a vibrant night life. Everywhere you look it will be cameras and the ready and the go to place for  every phone photographer.
