Tythe Barn Wedding Photography-Jen and Dave

A gorgeous Rustic Barn summer wedding near Bicester

Jen and Dave’s wedding at the Tythe Barn  was a lovely wedding to photograph. The Tythe Barn is one of our favourite venues, and being Bicester wedding photographers, is only 2 miles from our home. We will tell you more about their lovely day shortly, but, firstly here is a short photofilm from some of our photos. 

We met the couple a year previously at a local wedding fair, and we immediately connected with them. They had a clear vision of what they wanted from their wedding photography; not too much posing, and time away from their guests, but instead a story telling approach. Who was there, what happened when, etc. As documentary wedding photographers, we immediately empathised with them and their plans. The Tythe Barn in Launton is a gorgeous venue; it’s a lovely place for a wedding ceremony in its own right; however it is also adjacent to St Mary’s Church, so couples looking for a church wedding with a local rustic barn for their reception are well catered for. Jen looked amazing in her dress from Wed2B, and as always, the staff at the Tythe Barn took care of proceedings efficiently and without fuss. 

We were blessed with lovely weather on this August day, apart from a short rainstorm, which left us with a gorgeous rainbow over the barn, as in the photos below.  

We were thrilled to get a lovely review from Jen and Dave, as below: 

“Much more than Photographers! Their portfolio of work was just what we had hoped for- few formal shots but mainly pictures capturing people having fun and enjoying the day – documentary photography at its best. Mixed in with these natural shots they captured some special moments between us as a couple and took some beautiful ‘arty’ shots of the two of us. The best bit for us was that they were also unobtrusive and you would never have known they were taking the shot! If natural, perfectly captured shots taken by two amazing people are what you want then look no further, you have found your photographers!”

Lains Barn Wedding- Charlene and Daniel

A Rustic Oxfordshire Barn Wedding in November

November 2016 saw us back at one of our favourite venues, Lains Barn, near Wantage, Oxfordshire, for the wedding of Charlene and Daniel. We are a preferred supplier at Lains, which does mean we work here more often than some other venues. However as our documentary wedding style is somewhat niche we do work a lots of different venues across the UK, which suits us fine....variety is indeed the spice of life. 

As usual, Katie and her team did a fine job of making sure everything ran like clockwork during the day; it is refreshing to work at a venue that understands how we work and isn't looking to boss us around, let alone the guests. 

For Charlene and Daniel's wedding, Samantha was with the bride and bridesmaids at the family home, whilst I was with Daniel and the guys at a nearby hotel. After a fun game or two on the Xbox (I declined the offer to take part),  the groom, his groomsmen and I headed off to the venue to be in place for the arrival of the bride. And fantastic she did look in a gorgeous dress! This was the first time we had photographed a wedding with a videographer, and a drone video  crew; the latter being expertly provided by Whirlybird Imaging. The late Autumn light, or lack of made photographing the ceremony in the barn challenging, but as usual our Fuji cameras performed admirably. 

Once more it was a pleasure to work and photograph at Lains, and are looking forward to our weddings there in 2017. 

If you are looking for candid, relaxed and unpressurised wedding photography at Lains Barn, or in fact at any venue, we would love to hear from you. You can contact via the details below, or with our contact form here.

Fawsley Hall Wedding-Kelly and Joseph

Northamptonshire country house wedding

Kelly and Joseph's wedding at Fawsley Hall, Northamptonshire was the first time we have photographed at this lovely venue, and we are already looking forward to the next! As documentary wedding photographers, we love working at dedicated wedding venues like Fawsley Hall, which was looking resplendent inside and out on this lovely August day. We met Kelly and Joseph a couple of years previously, and they were very clear as to their requirements, one of which was not lots of formal group shots. We of course heartily agreed. Both Kelly and Joseph are musicians, with Joseph at the time having to work away a fair amount. Presumably, their musical connections did help in having a harpist came to play during the entry into the ceremony room, and very lovely the music was too. Their beautiful daughter melted hearts as their as a flower girl, and the speeches were both funny and well delivered. Add in a great disco party and a great time was had by all, which you will be able to get the spirit of from the photos below.
