Winter Wedding in Tetbury This was the middle of five December weddings for me. I was really looking forward to Lucy and Cameron’s Great Tythe Barn wedding photography in Tetbury. It’s a fabulous 16th Century stone barn set in a couple of hundred acres of private land. I’d love to return here for a summer…
Another Fetcham Park Winter Wedding I had the good fortune to be booked to photograph Sabine and Andrew’s Fetcham Park winter wedding the week after my first time photographing at Fetcham Park. It was pure coincidence, but immediately after photographing Sally and Chris’ wedding there the week earlier I was looking forward to this wedding.…
Fetcham Park Wedding Photography in the Winter What a fantastic wedding venue Fetcham Park is! This was my first time photographing at the Grade II listed country house.

The Perfect Wedding Venue? Maunsel House could be the perfect setting for an English country house wedding. Nestled in 100 acres of Somerset parkland, it has wonderful reputation. It’s described as ‘famous for being a party house’ with historic links dating back to Alfred the Great. It really offers the perfect venue for the kind of unscripted…
Buckinghamshire Church Wedding This Buckinghamshire church wedding was a lot of fun to photograph! Fellow photographer James Canon introduced Sarah and David to my work. I started at Sarah’s house for the preparations before making the short journey to St Faith’s Church in Newton Longville.
