June 21, 2024
A British culinary experience in the Cotswolds, organised by American chefs who travelled all the way from Colorado to live out their intimate destination wedding dreams. This June wedding was the very first marriage held at Daylesford Farm’s brand new wedding venue: Heritage House. Part of the Bamford estate, everything about this modern farm in the countryside was immaculately designed and finished.
​
The morning started in a stunningly perfect cottage in the heart of the Oxford countryside, Kingham. It was here that the bride, groom, and closest friends and family got ready, popped champagne, and relaxed whilst enjoying the views of rolling hills.
​
While June weather in the Cotswolds being slightly temperamental at best, we had a warm and hazy day, perfect for their outdoor ceremony on the farm. Despite the thick clouds, the sun still felt incredibly bright, resulting in amazing conditions for photography.
​
The florals were sourced and designed by Daylesford Organic. They were simple, elegant, and wild, all in keeping with the organic feel of the day. I particularly loved the wild flower meadow design at the alter. Looking at the bride and groom at the end of the aisle, with the flowers growing around them and views of the farm behind them, everything felt very intentional.
​
After their ceremony, we frolicked through grounds of the estate for their couple session. There were so many hidden gems in this venue. My particular favorite was the groom getting incredibly excited in the herb garden!
​
The evening ended with a stunning 3 course meal, cocktails, and dancing out by the fire. ​
