Kingscote Barn Wedding Photgraphy

As a wedding photographer based in the Cotswolds, I am very fortunate to visit and photograph many wonderful venues. Kingscote Barn is undoubtedly one of them. Tucked away in its own private valley, it’s a location that manages to be breathtakingly grand and incredibly intimate all at once.  Since my first visit to Kingscote all the way back to August 2013, I’ve seen this venue in blinding summer sun, atmospheric autumn mist, and glorious winter frosts.  2026 will present me with my 60th wedding at this venue, each and every one of them bringing something unique and special.

My Style Meets the Cotswolds

If you are familiar with my work, you know that I’m not one to do stiff, traditional posing. My photography is all about capturing the energy of the day as it unfolds—genuine interactions, laughter, coupled together with those quiet, emotional moments.

My signature style is candid, colourful, and vibrant. I love punchy colours and dynamic light, and Kingscote Barn provides the perfect canvas for this approach. Whether it’s the rustic textures of the stone barn, the lush greens of the surrounding rolling hills, or the warmth of the sunset that dips at the end of the driveway, the venue allows my colourful style to really sing.

The Gallery

I thought it was time to throw a few photographs together to highlight my visits to Kingscote throughout the years!

In the gallery below, you’ll see a mix of everything I love about shooting here. From couple portraits showing off that famous Cotswold scenery, atmospheric shots of the venue itself, and the intricate details that couples have used to make the space their own.  With a little over 40,000 images to chose from I will have to return with a part two as I’ve only featured a few weddings from the last couple of years here!

Most importantly, I hope these images convey the joy and the vibrant energy that defines a Kingscote wedding through my lens.
