LAPSTONE BARN WEDDING | Love in the poppy fields

Lapstone Barn wedding venue is a traditional 18th-century stone barn, recently converted to a stunning wedding venue and set in the gorgeous Cotswold farmlands 5 minutes’ drive from Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. Lapstone Barn is one of my favourite Cotswolds wedding venues for couples who want a relaxed countryside wedding without sacrificing elegance. Surrounded by rolling hills just outside Chipping Campden, this beautifully restored Cotswold stone barn combines rustic character with stylish interiors, making it a fantastic setting for naturally beautiful wedding photography.

This Lapstone Barn wedding was full of laughter, emotional moments and plenty of time for everyone to simply enjoy the day together. Rather than spending hours away from guests, we kept portraits relaxed and natural, making the most of the beautiful grounds and surrounding countryside while allowing the couple to enjoy every part of their wedding day. The poppy fields were in full bloom which was quite simply magical.

If you’re planning your own Lapstone Barn wedding and are looking for a photographer who captures real moments with very little interruption, I hope this wedding gives you a good idea of how your day could look.

Oh my. How can words even express how beautiful Tanli’s photos are of my wedding. I am on cloud 9 – so happy upon receiving I couldn’t sleep!!

Tanli has been fabulous throughout the whole process. Right from the first meeting with her when searching for a wedding photographer we’ve loved her relaxed style, always making us feel at ease. And that carried through to the wedding day – when she was excellent at organising everyone and getting the photos formal taken (in between periods of heavy rain!) and at keeping us relaxed and natural for the stunning photos of the two of us. Then throughout the day and evening she has captured the most stunning candid shots of our wedding.
Thank you thank you thank you Tanli – you’re a superstar

LAPSTONE CHURCH WEDDING CHIPPING CAMPDEN

Abby and Callum got married at the Parish Church of Saint Catharine in Chipping Campden. It’s always nice to arrive ahead of the bride and witness the groom greeting guests and hugging friends and family. This church was really beautiful and the ceremony was too lovely, with the nicest Vicar too. After the ceremony and the confetti we headed back to Lapstone Barn wedding venue, for the reception.

LAPSTONE BARN WEDDING RECEPTION

The poppy fields were in glorious bloom at Lapstone Barn for Abby and Callum’s couple time photos. We went for an easy stroll and I just love these naturally gorgeous, poppy field photos. It’s very important to me that your couple portrait photos are easy and relaxed for you, and that your personalities ‘shine through’ . I don’t do awkward stiff posing, and couples often mention when they book me, that this is what has drawn them to my work.

LAPSTONE BARN WEDDING SPEECHES AND DANCING

Once everyone heads inside for the wedding breakfast, the atmosphere really begins to build. Speeches are often one of the most emotional parts of the day, full of laughter, happy tears and plenty of unforgettable reactions.

As the evening celebrations begin, Lapstone Barn transforms into a wonderfully warm and inviting space. The lighting creates a cosy atmosphere for the first dance before friends and family fill the dance floor, providing plenty of energetic moments to capture naturally.
