Old Gore Barn - Vicky and Cormac

Weddings

14 Apr

Vicky and Cormac’s celebration was my first wedding of 2023 and I had been looking forward to it since the moment they had booked me!

Their wedding was taking place at a relatively new venue, Old Gore Barn, located in the picturesque Cotswolds and just a 15-minute drive from Cirencester. When their big day finally arrived I was so excited for my first opportunity to shoot there that I arrived 45 minutes early!

Vicky and Cormac were having an intimate, family-filled celebration and had booked me to document the ceremony through to the speeches. Having arrived so early, I was able to take some photos of the venue before anyone else got there and then be on hand to capture photos of the guests as they arrived.

Once the guests were in their seats and Vicky had arrived, there was just enough time for Vicky and Cormac to have a quick “first look” before the ceremony. They then walked down the aisle hand in hand before saying their vows and exchanging rings. It was a short but emotional ceremony and we very quickly found ourselves outside for a big group photo before the majority of the guests retreated to the warmth of the barn. Being April, I have to admit that it was a little chilly outside! Not to be deterred, we still managed to squeeze in a few formal family photos whilst the rain held off!

It wasn’t long before pizzas, salad and chips were being served on one long table for their wedding breakfast (and I can happily report that the pizzas were delicious!) after which the guests were treated to some emotional but also amusing speeches. I then left them to their evening celebrations just as ice cream was being served.

I really love it when couples decide to do things their own way. Vicky and Cormac had ensured that the entire day was relaxed and full of laughter. In addition, there was a play corner to keep the kids occupied and a talented live event illustrator to keep the adults amused. All in all, a wonderful day to kick off my 2023 wedding season!
