We had the absolute pleasure of capturing Paige and Jesse’s ten-year wedding anniversary with a stunning portrait session in Castle Combe. Traveling all the way from the States, this lovely couple chose the quintessential Cotswolds village as the backdrop for their special celebration. Their session perfectly showcases the essence of Cotswolds couple photography—a blend of romance, fun, and timeless elegance.
Castle Combe: A picturesque setting for Cotswolds couple photography
Castle Combe is often hailed as one of the prettiest villages in England, making it an ideal location for Cotswolds couple photography. Its charming streets and picturesque landscapes create the perfect setting for capturing love stories. To avoid the crowds and capture the serene beauty of the village, we planned the session during the golden hour. This not only provided beautiful, soft lighting but also gave us the peace and quiet needed to explore various spots within the village and the grounds of the Manor Hotel.
Capturing timeless moments with digital and analogue photography
For Paige and Jesse’s session, we used a combination of digital, 35mm, and 120mm film to create a diverse and rich collection of images. The use of different mediums allowed us to capture the nuances of their connection in unique ways. One of the highlights of the session was when both Paige and Jesse took turns photographing each other with our Leica camera. This playful interaction added a personal touch to their collection, showcasing their fun and loving dynamic.
Fun and romance in the Cotswolds
Paige and Jesse were a joy to work with. Their willingness to trust the process and enjoy the session made our job so much easier and enjoyable and their love and connection were evident in every frame. . The resulting images are a true testament to their relationship—a blend of fun, romance, and timeless elegance.
The weather was absolutely perfect—a typical summer’s evening that resulted in the most beautiful golden hour light. This warm, soft light is a photographer’s dream, and it added a magical quality to the images.
