Carfest South

On Sunday we went to CarFest South which is a family festival raising money for BBC Children in Need a UK charity which makes a big difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and young adults - So a brilliant event raising money for a good cause! With live music, food, drink and cars (cars and more cars!) the festival has plenty to do for children and adults.

We went along to the event with the lovely Airs and Graces team, to photograph their wonderful trolleys in use. They were in use everywhere we turned some to carry chairs, bags, blankets around the event but mostly used to carrying the kids in! We photographed lots of people and they were all raving about the trolleys and what a big difference it made having them for the kids. 

Of Course while we were there we had plenty of time to have a good look around watch the cars and air show and of course eat and drink........I was designated driver, no drink for me! But to cheer me up i saw lots of cars i would be very happy to have for Christmas ;)

Airs and Graces is a family business based right here in the Cotswold's they supply and sell wagons, trolleys, carts and much more. My favorite product of theirs is the Picnic Porter which basically is a cool bag and storage on wheels with an attached folding seat with added accessories - perfect for festivals, days out or long walks! They also do balloons too.

Pudsey was at CarFest too.

One of the cars on my Christmas list :)

Bumble Bee from Transformers was one of our favorites on the day along with Back to the Future DeLorean and also of course Herbie! 

The Air show was fantastic to watch while we ate lunch.

We got to watch the amazing Texas on stage plus my personal favorites The Feeling and 10cc, Nell Bryden and Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott.

Mr & Mrs Green Cripps Barn Wedding

29th July 2014 was the day Sarah and Ed became Husband and Wife. They chose to get married at the beautiful Cripps Barn nr Bibury, Cirencester and because the sun was shining brightly it meant they could get married outdoors, which is what they really wanted.

Sarah was getting ready at her mom's home in Fairford with her bridesmaids, mom, sisters and little brothers. It was a relaxed atmosphere as they were getting ready and there was even a few glasses of bubbly. Once Sarah was ready it was time for us to head off to Cripps Barn to see Ed and his Grooms men, which by the way seem to love the camera.

Sarah was walked down the aisle by her proud Dad. Family and friends watched the couple say there vows and become Mr and Mrs. Pimms was defiantly a big hit after the wedding as the sun shone down and continued too all day which was great as the garden games got under-way and the guests laughter and chatter filled the air, while the Bride and Groom had their photos taken.

One thing I loved was all the personal touches too, Ed had "Groom" socks in the colour of his favourite football team, Two of Sarah's brothers did readings during the ceremony, The cake was made by Sarah's sister which had a great cake topper of the two of them which even included their dog. Each one of Sarah's sisters gave her a gift each of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

As the afternoon went on and the evening was upon us the fire pit was roaring and guests were treated to marshmallows, which went down a treat with the grown ups and kids!

We love it when we're recommended to future Bride & Grooms and its lovely to be chosen to photograph such a special day in someone's life....Thank you to Sarah's Auntie Patsy for recommending us!

Congratulations Sarah and Ed!

 It was a beautiful day and we wish you many happy years to come xXx

Mr & Mrs Garvey - Wedding at Cirencester Parish Church

Beth and Martin became Mr & Mrs Garvey on the 2nd of August 2014. Surrounded by family and close friends and their two gorgeous sons Isaac and Lucas, they got married at The Parish Church, Cirencester. 

Our day started at Beth's home where she was getting ready with her sister, it was a very calm morning but all of us was very aware of the horrid rain that decided to show-up, but that didn't stop the chatter and laughter while the girls got ready. Soon the time was upon us and we headed to the church, with brolly's, to see Martin and his two Best Men greeting guests at the church. The rain got heavier and heavier and brolly's were ready and waiting for the bridesmaids and flower girl for when they arrived, not much longer after Beth arrived in style in a white Bentley with her two boys, brolly's were no longer needed as when the bride arrived the sun made an appearance - not kidding! I always think with moments just like this, its because some one is looking down and smiling.

Their eldest son Isaac had the special duty of walking his mom down the aisle, which he did with a huge smile upon his face. Isaac along with Martin's dad had the special job of doing a lovely reading during the service. Also i really want to mention they had the best vicar ever, he was very polite to all the guests and let us take whatever photos we would like during the service and respectfully and quietly we achieved a beautiful memento for Mr and Mrs Garvey.

After the Ceremony we headed on to The Wild Duck at Ewen which is a very personal place for them both as that's where they had their first date - so very fitting to celebrate their marriage there. After the speeches and very yummy meal (Thanks Beth & Martin) it was time for the evening celebrations to start and what a great way to start too with a Steel Band  - lots of fun and a great way to get the party started. Soon it was time for the DJ to start and for the new Mr and Mrs to take to the dance floor which they did with their youngest son Lucas and danced to All of Me by John Legend.

The best cuff links ever!

Beth and Martin even got their family pet "Daisy" in on the wedding action 

Congratulations to you both we wish all the happiness, love and joy in the world.
