Cripps Barn Wedding Photography | Roz and James

As a wedding photographer I work many weekends of the year and hence regularly miss numerous social occasions of my friends. Not so this time! Roz and James are old friends and it was quite the honour to be asked to shoot their day. They chose the wonderful Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds. The 18th century converted barns offer the most incredible atmosphere inside and with the expansive views outside, it really is quite the venue.

Every wedding I shoot follows a similar path, from preparation to the dancing. However, it is the people that make each wedding unique and these two people couldn't be more perfect for each other. I could go on, but I'm a photographer, not a poet and so I'd rather let the images tell the story of their wonderful wedding at Cripps Barn on a spectacularly sunny day back in March...

I shoot weddings all over the South West and plenty further afield. I would love to hear from you if you are getting married and want a relaxed, fun and creative photographer to document your day. Head over to my website Simon Biffen Photography to find out more.

Great Tythe Barn Tetbury Wedding Photography | Cara and David

The first wedding of 2014! Back in early March I had the pleasure of heading up to the Cotswolds to find a real gem of a wedding venue at The Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury. With the beautifully converted barns offering great space over two floors, it was the perfect setting for a classic wedding celebration. Cara and David were also rather delighted with the unexpected heatwave that descended and made it feel more like mid-summer. With donkeys and pigs on site, the newlyweds made the most of making friends by feeding them their favourite treats! The day continued as all good weddings should with plenty of laughs, bubbles and outrageous moves on the dance floor.

Here is a selection from their day. Enjoy.

Maunsel House Wedding Photography | Lucy & Rob

It has been far too long since I blogged a wedding and now I have a big backlog to catch up with, so let's get going! This is the last from 2013, a super wedding at one of my favourite venues: Maunsel House (maybe I'm a little biased as I got married here too!) Lucy and Rob's wedding was in two parts, with the first held here in the UK in November and the other being out in Australia where they are now living.

There was a hive of activity in the morning with the girls having hair and make done in town before heading back for the finishing touches. The chaps were typically relaxed and after lounging in the bar decided they should really be getting ready. The excitement then built up to an emotional ceremony held in the grand ballroom. We just about managed some confetti outside before the clouds burst and then it was back inside for drinks and canapés before heading out again for group shots and the couple shoot around the marvellous Maunsel House grounds.

The ballroom was transformed into a decadent setting for the wedding breakfast and some superb speeches rounded of the traditional formalities. As guests were allowed to enjoy their surroundings some more, I took the chance to take Lucy and Rob off for another wander before they came back for the moment everyone was waiting for: the first dance. They smashed it with a choreographed number that rivalled anything from Strictly! The partying continued well into the night and I made my farewells leaving behind a very happy group of people and their perfectly matched newlyweds.

If you are getting married at Maunsel House (or in fact anywhere) and like what you see, do get in touch and find out more about my wedding photography.
