unique light, energy, and textures
Cripps Barn Wedding Photography
As a Cripps Barn wedding photographer, I’ve had the chance to work with the unique light, energy, and textures that make this Cotswolds venue such a favourite. From the candlelit ceremony space to the wild fields out back, it’s one of those places that never feels like a wedding factory. Just pure, lived-in atmosphere.
Getting Married at Cripps Barn?
This place is something else.
Tucked into the Cotswolds countryside, Cripps Barn is full of texture, warmth, and atmosphere. Stone walls, timber beams, flickering candlelight. It’s intimate, dramatic, and always memorable. Whether it’s midsummer or midwinter, it never feels like it’s trying too hard. That’s what makes it so good.
As a Cripps Barn wedding photographer, I’ve captured weddings here across seasons, and every time it feels grounded, real, and full of energy. If you’re after a wedding that looks incredible but doesn’t feel like a performance, Cripps Barn gets it right.
You don’t need to over-style it. The venue already knows who it is.
The layout flows perfectly, from ceremony to dinner to dancing
The barn feels warm and atmospheric in every season
It photographs beautifully in both soft daylight and candlelight
The food is fire-cooked and genuinely brilliant.. the kind guests talk about for weeks
What I notice behind the camera
As a wedding photographer who knows Cripps Barn well, I can say with confidence: this venue delivers every time. You can shoot wide to take in the stone, the timber, the open fire – or go close to capture the intimacy of the moment. The light indoors is rich and low, and the outdoor spaces are perfect for a quick wander without dragging you away from your guests for long.
There’s always a quiet moment to catch in a golden field at sunset, or a spontaneous laugh outside the barn doors.
There’s also a rhythm to the day that just works. No stress. No rushing. Everything unfolds in one place.
What you get with me behind the lens
Choosing the right Cripps Barn wedding photographer means more than just beautiful pictures. It’s about working with someone who understands how to move with the day, not against it. I’ll guide when needed, step back when I should, and deliver a gallery full of genuine, emotive moments – the kind you’ll actually feel when you look back.
