Elaine & Sam: 99 yew trees in a traditional Cotswolds village: Gloucestershire engagement photographer

A quick Christmas Eve post! Say hello to Elaine & Sam, who are childhood sweethearts.

The chose the picturesque village of Painswick for their engagement shoot. It’s a gorgeous Cotswold village built out of traditional Cotswold stone, with a church and village green in the centre. In fact, their annual apple festival was taking place when we were there, complete with apple-bobbing and hay bales for sitting on. You couldn’t get more quintessentially English! We had to wait for the kids to clear out from the churchyard, which is filled with yew trees. 99 in fact, according to local folklore no more ever

Elaine and Sam, I look forward to your wedding at the fabulous Manor on the Lake, which will be my first wedding of 2013!

Happy Christmas and happy new year everyone 🙂
