English Country Wedding at Merriscourt, Cotswolds - part 1

As promised here is our full shoot from last months bridal shoot at Merriscourt situated in the beautiful Cotswolds nr Burford.

The shoot was organised by Jeni Crabb, local oxfordshire wedding planner and owner of Vanilla Rose Weddings & Events. With experience in luxury boutique hotels and events throughout London, Oxfordshire and Cotswolds Jeni picked the perfect theme - an English Country Wedding.  The focus was very much on pulling together the resources of local suppliers which offer quality services and ideas which reflect her clients aspirations.

As a local wedding photographer I was delighted to be invited to be the photographer for this event and was amazed at the wonderful products available and had a fabulous time photographing everything. I met some great new suppliers as well as having the chance to catch up with some old friends too!

In order to share the full details with you I'm blogging this in 3 parts. The first part shows our gorgeous models for the day preparing for an elegant wedding which still possess a rustic country feel.  The girls are not proper models but had a ball getting dressed up in these wonderful wedding dresses from Sue Lund at Cariad Bride and professional hair & make-up by Sophie Kelvin. A full list of suppliers is given at the end - do check their websites for more inspiration. And if you are looking for a wedding photographer do please get in touch with me - I'd love to be there on your big day!
