LIZ & HARVEY

Stone Barn, Cotswolds

A groom is carrying his bride, and they’re kissing as they walk through a grassy field. They’re outside, with trees and water behind them.

Church vows, garden music and a barn full of friends

Liz and Harvey’s day took us from preparations by the water to a church ceremony, then on to Stone Barn in the Cotswolds. The photographs follow the small moments as well as the obvious ones: Harvey laughing with his friends, Liz’s dress being fastened, her bridesmaids gathering round, and the two of them coming back down the aisle together.

At Stone Barn, guests spread out into the garden while musicians played among them. Inside, long wooden tables and greenery filled the barn. There were speeches, raised glasses and plenty happening at the tables; a few of those photographs were taken on the guest camera, giving a different view of the meal.

For their portraits, Liz and Harvey stepped into the field and spent a little time around the barn’s doorways and courtyard. Those quieter photographs sit alongside the confetti, hugs and crowded dance floor. I’ve kept the guest-camera pictures in the story too, with the film-inspired finish I give them.

Planning your photographs at Stone Barn

Stone Barn is near Upper Windrush, between Burford and Northleach in Gloucestershire. Liz and Harvey’s gallery gives you a look at a reception there: guests outside with live music, dinner at long tables and a busy dance floor beneath the barn roof.

For photographs, the field gave us open space, while the courtyard and barn doorways brought the buildings into the pictures. If you like both, we can plan a short portrait break around the light and what is happening with your guests. Liz and Harvey had their ceremony at a church, so the church photographs in this gallery show a separate part of their day.

Their ceremony was in a church, followed by their reception at Stone Barn. The church interior, aisle and confetti photographs appear first in the gallery, before the photographs of the barns and garden.

Where can we take couple portraits at Stone Barn?

Why do some of the photographs have a different look?

I give guests a camera to use during the wedding, then edit those photographs with a film-inspired finish. They add the view from inside the meal and on the dance floor, alongside the photographs I take.
