A Decade of Kingscote Barn Weddings
Over the past decade (and then some), I’ve photographed countless Kingscote Barn weddings — and no two have ever felt the same.
- Sun-drenched summer weddings with doors thrown open to the valley
- Crisp autumn celebrations with golden light rolling over the fields
- Cosy winter weddings filled with fairy lights, candles and serious atmosphere
- Emotional speeches, wild dancefloors, spontaneous hugs
- Dogs in bow ties (a personal favourite)
This blog isn’t about one single wedding. It’s a collection of real, candid moments from many Kingscote Barn weddings across different times of year — a true snapshot of what this Gloucestershire barn venue looks and feels like when it’s full of life.
A Curated Kingscote Barn Wedding Gallery
Putting this blog together was… a challenge. My Lightroom catalogue briefly staged a small rebellion.
There were well over 1,000 favourite images from Kingscote Barn weddings — so what you see here is a carefully curated highlight reel. It’s designed to help couples planning a Kingscote Barn wedding in Gloucestershire visualise their own day, whatever the season.
You’ll see the landscape, the barn, the styling couples bring to make the venue their own — and most importantly, the real, in‑between moments that make wedding photography feel honest and alive.
Why Kingscote Barn Works So Well for Documentary Wedding Photography
Kingscote Barn is a dream venue for relaxed, storytelling wedding photography:
- The iconic Cotswold stone barn is full of character and texture
- Huge doors and windows flood the space with natural light
- The valley backdrop is perfect for quick, natural couple portraits
- Guests can move, mingle and relax — which is when the best moments happen
Because I know Kingscote Barn inside out, I can read the light instantly, adapt to the weather without fuss, and quietly capture what’s unfolding without pulling you away from your guests for hours.
Most couple portraits here take 5–10 minutes, timed perfectly when the light hits the valley just right.
