Zara and Paul at Lapstone Barn

It’s a lovely thing when you get to photograph a friend’s wedding. I’ve known bride Zara for yonks in her role as Makeup Artist and Hairstylist so getting to see her on the other side of the wedding bizniz was just ace…

We had the perfect autumnal weather with wall to wall sunshine and a gorgeous Cotswolds location. My first visit to Lapstone and I’m a little bit besotted. Paul and Zara had their favourite friends and family around them for celebrations and with Paul’s Scottish connections, it was kilts a-go-go and they even had a bagpiper on hand to skirl* the newlyweds around the place.

Right - that’s enough of that. Have a proper squint at just a few from their day. If you look closely you may spot two middle aged men racing their scooters and a pile of celebratory cheese (they weren’t racing the cheese. I’m pretty sure they would win as cheese is notoriously stationary unless it’s being carried around by a photographer legging it with a fistful in both hands)

Anyway, huzzahs for both of these things! Wedding brilliance from the get-go…

*Yeah, that’s right. I looked it up and you can too.

I say that but clearly didn’t think to actually remember any names of bagpipers or the florist (who did a magnificent job btw)

I can do hair and make-up though as that was actual Zara doing her own features and caoiffing her own do! Effing legend that she is… https://www.zarabeautifulhairmakeup.co.uk/
