Lapstone Barn wedding

Relaxed Barn wedding in the Cotswolds

I first met Zoe nearly 10 years ago in college (it definitely doesn’t seem that long ago in my head!) and I was absolutely thrilled when she asked me to photograph her and Rob’s wedding. Not only that but that it would be a fabulous destination wedding in the Cotswolds in England! It was the perfect day from start to finish, the sun was splitting the stones, the venue Lapstone Barn looked like something out of a story book and Zoe and Rob were an absolute dream to work with. This is a Lapstone Barn wedding you don’t want to miss!

Zoe and Rob decided to have a first look before their ceremony, queue much excitement from me! A first look is a great fun way for the couple to see each other for the first time without the pressure of having an audience. It also means you can wrap up the couple photos early on, largely leaving the reception free for mingling. A lot of couples prefer to go the more traditional route but if your looking for something a bit different its a really great option to look into. Zoe and Rob were very keen to have an intimate relaxed wedding and I think they absolutely nailed it. The reception was full of laughter and fun, in no small part due to the brilliant magician Richard Parsons, my mind is still blown! I had an absolute blast shooting their wedding and it was a pleasure to have been part of their day!

The Supporting Cast

Zoe’s STUNNING dress was from Jenny Packham, those crystals on the bodice were so beautiful. Moya’s gorgeous bridedsmaids dress was from Asos. The flowers that set the scene for the day were by the incredible Its All Pretty Wild. Hair and Make Up was done by Julie Podbury Hair and Make Up and looked perfect. Rob’s suit came from Abrahams in Dublin. Everything took place in the picturesque Lapstone Barn who were a delight to deal with.
