There’s something truly magical about a summer wedding in the Cotswolds, and Chloe & Ben’s August wedding at Lapstone Barn was nothing short of perfection. With its rustic charm, breathtaking countryside views, and elegant barn setting, Lapstone Barn provided the most beautiful backdrop for their special day. As a Cotswolds wedding photographer, capturing this day was an absolute dream—especially with so many unique and personal touches that made it unforgettable.
One of the most heartwarming moments of the day was the inclusion of Chloe & Ben’s beloved dog, Ralph. Dressed in a dapper bow tie collar, Ralph played an important role in the celebrations, greeting guests and even making an appearance in some stunning wedding portraits. Incorporating pets into a wedding adds a personal and emotional touch, making the day even more special.
Chloe’s bridal party made a bold and stylish statement with their black bridesmaid dresses. The contrast of the elegant black dresses against the soft, romantic tones of Lapstone Barn’s rustic interiors created a stunning visual impact. This modern and sophisticated choice proved that black is not just for winter weddings—it can be effortlessly chic for summer celebrations too!
The floral arrangements at Chloe & Ben’s wedding were nothing short of breathtaking. Rebecca from Rebecca Kate Flowers created soft pastel bouquets to stunning floral installations adorning the barn, every detail was carefully curated to enhance the natural beauty of the venue. The mix of wildflowers and romantic blooms created a whimsical and elegant atmosphere, perfect for a summer wedding in the heart of the Cotswolds.
From the moment Ben & Chloe tied the knot, the atmosphere was set with the incredible talent of Fay Donaldson on the Saxophone! The whole day was an absolute party, thanks to Fay bringing the Ibiza vibes straight to the Cotswolds, as well as a few bangers from bands like McFly and more! Live music always adds an electrifying energy to a wedding, and Fay had everyone on the dance floor celebrating well into the night. As a wedding photographer, capturing these high-energy, joy-filled moments is one of my favourite parts of the day.
