The Bay Tree Hotel Wedding Photography – Burford, Cotswolds
Tucked away in the heart of Burford, The Bay Tree Hotel is one of those Cotswold wedding venues that immediately feels welcoming. A 16th-century townhouse full of character, it’s perfect for couples planning a smaller, more intimate Cotswold wedding . Sophie & Alec’s wedding at The Bay Tree Hotel was exactly that — warm and personal.
A Cotswold Wedding Worth Waiting For
Like many couples planning weddings around 2020, Sophie & Alec had to postpone their day — not once, but twice. Despite the frustration and uncertainty, they never lost sight of what mattered most: celebrating with their closest family and friends.
Life didn’t stand still during the wait either. With big changes along the way (including welcoming a new baby), by the time their wedding day finally arrived, there was even more reason to celebrate.
Some days really are worth waiting for.
Getting Ready Together at The Bay Tree
I arrived at The Bay Tree Hotel in Burford to find Sophie & Alec getting ready together — a choice that immediately set the tone for the day. Calm, connected and completely at ease, it removed any sense of nerves and replaced it with quiet excitement.
The hotel’s cosy rooms and soft natural light made it ideal for unobtrusive, documentary wedding photography, allowing moments to unfold naturally.
Congratulations Sophie & Alec — your patience was rewarded with a truly lovely Cotswold wedding. 🥂
