A romantic country house wedding in the Gloucestershire countryside
Gabby and Freddy travelled down from London in their much loved vintage cars, arriving at Pauntley Court under golden summer sunshine. From the moment they arrived, the day felt calm, personal, and full of anticipation.
With their little boy by their side and their closest family and friends gathered around them, the atmosphere was full of emotion and excitement. Every detail of the day reflected who they are as a couple, from their relaxed approach to their beautifully considered styling.

An outdoor ceremony and al fresco wedding breakfast
The couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt outdoor ceremony in the Pauntley Court gardens, surrounded by greenery, summer light, and the sound of the countryside. The ceremony felt deeply personal and full of emotion, with quiet glances, happy tears, and genuine laughter shared between family and friends.
Following the ceremony, guests gathered for an al fresco wedding breakfast in the gardens. Long tables, summer florals, and warm sunshine created a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, where guests could enjoy good food, conversation, and time together.
This style of outdoor celebration is one of the reasons couples fall in love with Pauntley Court. It offers the perfect balance of elegance and informality, allowing your wedding day to feel luxurious without ever feeling formal or rushed.
A surprise first look and cinematic storytelling
One of the most special moments of the day was a surprise first look between Gabby and Freddy. Away from the guests, they shared a quiet, emotional moment together before the ceremony, creating a beautiful pause in the day where they could take everything in.
These are the moments that make intimate weddings so powerful. The quiet glances. The deep breaths. The way hands reach for each other without thinking.
As a Pauntley Court wedding videographer and Gloucestershire wedding photographer, my approach is to document these moments naturally as they happen. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and the story of your day as it unfolds, allowing you to relive not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
