Weddings at The Hare and Hounds Westonbirt
Weddings at The Hare and Hounds Westonbirt: The end of May saw me photographing weddings twice at the gorgeous Gloucestershire hotel The Hare and Hounds and it happened to be on the most balmy weekend we’ve had here in the UK weather wise. I’m fairly sure since then it has just rained and rained.
Emilie and Nicolas contacted me relatively late via the brilliant wedding designer Isabel to photograph their wedding at The Hare and Hounds. I’m so glad I took on the commission as it was one of the most entertaining weddings I’ve photographed this year I think.
Both Emilie and Nicolas are French and so were all the friends and family. I had complete rein to document the wedding as I saw fit. It was a long day, but a wonderful one. I started with some bridal preparation photographs of Emilie and her friends in the Game Keepers cottage. The nerves and the bubbly were flowing……
The ceremony itself was just magnificant and as with most Weddings at The Hare and Hounds, Westonbirt the ceremony was held in a lovely oak panneled room overlooking the stunning lawns and gardens. Emilie, I think, was particularly happy judging by the photographs.
The rest of the day seems like a blur. There was bouncy castles, very very impressive Jenga Skills, impassioned speeches (as only the French can do so well), kissing……..lots of kissing……and some wonderful music from one of Nicolas friends.
As I left after around ten hours of photography I was exhausted, but happy – and I know the party carried on for a good few hours after I departed.
As usual, a selection of some of my favourites from the wedding of Emilie and Nicolas. Please feel free to share on social media, Facebook etc. And leave a comment too…..I’d love to have your feedback.
For the photographers, the wedding was shot with a combination of Canon 5D Mark III’s and a Fuji X100

Fantastic images Kevin! I love the emotion during the ceremony especially. Great work as always
I love how you manage to capture the emotions of the occasion so acutely as well as details that help to tell the broader story. Always inspiring Kevin.
Lovely images Kevin.
‘Blowing Bubbles’ Magical light.
Stunning work. Particularly like the series during the ceremony, they really show the roller coaster of emotions
I feel like I’m on autorepeat whenever you post a new set, but these are simply stunning. The close up first dance shot is a killer.
Some stunningly creative wedding photography Kevin. Absolutely love them.
BOOM! Brilliantly creative, and the exposure and processing is just spot on (as always!).
Superb! You really have a talent Kevin! How much of this was shot with the X1 Pro?
Thanks Chris. None of these were shot on the X-Pro1 but a few of them were shot on the X100
I didn’t know my jaw could drop so much.
Raising the standard as ever Kevin.
Never fails to raise a smile your pictures, inspiring as ever
Another great set of Mullins’ !!! I’ve run out of superlatives for your blog posts, Kevin.
So many to love in this set Kevin!
Great pictures Kevin. The b/w imagery really is the best way to capture the emotions of a couple’s big day. You did this with sheer brilliance. I salute you sir.
Perfect. You can just feel the joy from these photos!
Gorgeous work
They look so happy and in love. Love the image of the guy in his sun glasses with the jenga game and all his mates watching 
Nice work as usual Kevin
Your work always makes me smile. Thanks for continually inspiring me and reminding me that people DO want well-done documentary work.
Expertly documented. There’s some great moments captured here Kevin.
Love these Kevin, so much going on – some really great storytelling moments captured
I love the shot of the baby in the buggy with his/her feet in the air – reminds me of something the great Elliot Erwitt might have shot. I’m just wondering, do you worry about the ‘blinkies’ or providing the face of the person in focus is correctly exposed, it’s OK? Thank you in advance for your advice. Helen.
Kevin, Lovely as ever. Great stuff!
