Dovecote Events Wedding Photographer - Lisa and Robin
Oxfordshire rustic barn wedding venue near to Banbury
Lisa and Robin’s wedding took place in early June 2021 at Dovecote Events, Adderbury, near Banbury. The barn at Dovecote is one of our favourite places to photograph, and we are recommended suppliers there. As we are Oxfordshire wedding photographers based in Bicester, its also very local to us! Dovecote Barn is a proper country rustic barn for your wedding, either for the whole day (including the ceremony) or just for your reception. It’s a family business based at Bo Peep Farm, just between Aynho and Banbury, and convenient for couples based in Bicester, Banbury, Oxford, or any location easily accessible to the M40 and A43. An exclusive use venue, Dovecote Events can also provide a marquee, or the permanently installed Tipi for your wedding. The Tipi is a great place for a summer wedding, as we found out for Ken and Mel’s wedding (see more of that lovely day here).
Lisa and Robin got married and had their wedding reception in the gorgeous Grade II listed barn, with its oak beams, exposed brick work and twinkling fairy lights. They also added colourful uplighters and giant LOVE letters at the back of the barn, supplied by our good friend (and previous guest on our Podcast) Terry from Smooth Moves Events. Lisa got ready with her mother and bridesmaid at a lovely barn B&B in a small village near Banbury, Monastery Barn. As usual, Sam was on hand to take Lisa preparation photos, as well as to lend a hand as a “extra bridesmaid”.
I met Rob at the popular Whately Hall Hotel in central Banbury, for photos of him and his best man getting ready.
At the time of their wedding, Covid restrictions required masks to be worn during the ceremony and they were limited to 30 guests.
Their service therefore was short, as required, but that meant they and their guests had lots of time to catch up over a drink and some nibbles! Lisa and Rob has a fabulous Rolls Royce for their wedding car, which of course we took some photos of them, both inside and outside the car.
After a few group photos on the lawn by the barn, the couple and their guests went inside for their wedding breakfast and speeches.
After their speeches, we took Lisa and Rob into the adjacent field to the venue to capture some portraits in the late summer evening sun.
Our final task was to photograph a sparkler line for Lisa and Rob as they made their way from the wedding at the end of their special day.
It was an absolute pleasure to be Lisa and Rob’s wedding photographers for their special day at the Barn at Dovecote Events. We will be back at this gorgeous venue soon, and we can’t wait!
