Cripps Barn Wedding Photography
Phew – its been a very busy couple of months for me and I’m just getting back into the swing of blogging the last weddings of 2010.
November last year saw me revisit one of my favourite venues, Cripps Barn near Bibury for Emma and Richards wedding. It was an astonishingly great day weather wise given the time of year. As with all winter weddings, from a reportage photography point of view, the dynamics are quite different to a summer event. People tend to stay in and around the main rooms of the venue more, and go outside less. Whilst this presents different challenges to me as a documentary photographer – it also introduces unique, and often intimate moments that are quite often few and far between at summer weddings.
Emma and Richard’s wedding was a genuinely lovely event, and I could tell all their friends and family were having a blast when I left shortly after the first dance. Guests can view and purchase prints by going to my client area.
Once all the weddings for 2010 are blogged, I will put all the testimonials online, however, this is what Emma sent me once she saw her wedding photographs:
“Many thanks for your email. I was away when this dropped into my inbox but it was a very nice Christmas present to come home to! We love the photos, they are everything we wanted – they capture all the little details of the flowers, cake, etc that no-one else thought to photograph and some really emotional moments. I love that you caught the whole quiz finale – which really made me laugh at the time and I didn’t even see you in the room! (You said we wouldn’t notice your presence but I didn’t really believe you.)”
As usual, here are a selection of my favourites from the day. Having a young daughter myself, the third from last image really made me smile. These days, the bands and DJ’s tend to have these tiny green spotlights that dart around the room. It’s great for dancing, but isn’t particularly great for us photographers. However, I spotted the little bridesmaid in a world of her own “floating” with the darting dots.

Gorgeous photos as always! x
Kevin, Brilliant photography here. Some moments beautifully seen. Also I really like your black & white processing. Very clean with great contrast.
Regards
Francis
Great work as always Kevin. Lovely shot of the girl ‘away with the stars’ – very cute!
There is so much emotion in these photos, it’s amazing. I love all the little moments you captured, like the one of the lady lifting the bottom of her dress. Great work.
Great work as always Kevin, just to echo Francis comment, black & white processing looks very good.
Gorgeous Kevin just simply fab! I really love your black & whites real nice tones…
The shot of the kid with the green lights is class… my fav is the second shot when the bride is at the top of the isle
great emotion…
I like the warm tined B/W images in particular.. they have a smoothness and contrast which makes them crisp. Modern. I like the girl singer too..but thats an aesthetic of a more basic nature!
Amazing photos as always – I really like the shot of the guy reading the seating plan – the moment is caught perfectly!
Beautiful Kevin!! Absolutely beautiful…. Love your B&W’s
Great moments captured, as always.
Awesome Kevin!! Stunning photo shots, You captured such a lovely moments, i like that brides bridal gown, i love that girl she looks so cute. Great work.
Inspirational set of images. Beautiful.
Wow. You are a master at capturing moments — the bride’s hand resting on the groom, the woman fixing the dress, the little girl dancing in the DJ lights. Love them all.
WOW – you’ve done it again Kevin
Some wonderful moments captured!!
Some lovely natural looking shots – well done
Superb work Kevin! Your ability to capture the moment just gets better and better – the bride and groom must be thrilled that you have caught so many memories for them
love them…….. xx
This is fantastic work Kev, quite a tricky venue there too.
Very fond of the shot featuring the granny sorting the dress – just brilliant.
Just keeps getting better and better.
Some people make this look so easy, when the reality is that it takes many years practice to get it to look so effortless. Both yourself and Allister Freeman are two people whose work I can happily look at for hours and study for weeks.
Absolutely fab. Great story telling images.
It’s moments like this I wish we had looked around a bit more when we booked our wedding photographer. Peter these are stunning!
I meant to say Kevin.. not Peter.. My apologies…
Great images as usual, lovely processing
Fantastic work Kevin, really shows the life and emotion of the day.
The picture of the little girls dancing is breathtaking! All of the images were gorgeous!
So much emotion is these, wonderful.
Such a truly, gifted photographer. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were born with a camera around your neck. Love the shot of the older woman touching the wedding dress. Priceless. We need to get your shots up in a museum somewhere.
Nice clean photo. Superb
you got some great shots in what looks a fantastic location.
