Jessica & Paul’s Cripps Barn Wedding

Jessica is a wonderful artist from Cheltenham so I felt rather honoured to have been chosen to capture the beginning of her married life with Paul.

We started out at The Swan in Bibury on a lovely sunny day in October (so far, in my experience, the autumn weddings usually are) and then headed on to the gorgeous Cripps Barn for the ceremony and reception.
Every detail was not only beautiful but also personal to Jessica and Paul, just like every smile on every guests face. It doesn’t really feel like a year ago!

The day ended with dancing, blankets and warming fires.
Music came from the vintage style wedding band The Sweet & Lowdown, they really impressed me by covering Rage Against The Machine, Fleetwood Mac and The Cantina Band.
