January, it’s always the busiest month of year in the wedding world. Once the romantic festive proposals have settled in and gorgeous loved up couples have announced their news thoughts turn to planning. YAY.

Congratulations if you are newly engaged and are about to embark on planning your nuptials. Last year I launched the WWW wedding directory, the Supplier Love page. A place for awesome wedding businesses to advertise their brilliant services and products. I thoroughly recommend each and every one of the WWW family and am thrilled today to be introducing you to a select few of these lovely folk. To see the whole brilliant curation of wedding suppliers pop on over to the page, but for now get to know this mega talented bunch below. Photography, shoes, beauty, venue, stationery, honeymoon and entertainment galore…

Pete Cranston Photography

Showing you how beautiful you are is my job, and one that I’m passionate about. I feel honoured to be let in to people’s lives for one very special day, and to then get the opportunity to make them smile sometimes just doesn’t seem fair. I’m not interested in reproducing the same as everyone else, nor do I care for cheesy poses or props. I’m there to see you through my eyes and shine a (metaphorical) light on how ace you are.

Cripps Barn

Cripps Barn is a lovely old Cotswold stone barn set on its own in beautiful countryside near Bibury. It has flag stone floors, an open fire place and a large south facing terrace with fire pits and a bonfire in the garden.

Attached to the original stone barn is the modern oak building, seating up to 150 for your wedding breakfast.

Cripps Barn is a small family run business and the barn is the original party barn of all the barns now run by the company. If it is a relaxed feel you want, with incredible food and great service, this is the place for you. You can get married in the barn or outside in our lovely woodland glade. After the wedding and the meal the barn makes the perfect place to party. You can dance the night away right up to 1.00 a.m. in the morning.

We are known for our whole BBQ’d lambs, sirloin steak bricks or butterflied leg of lamb. Alternatively you can have rotisserie chicken, suckling pig or duck. We only use the best ingredients and serve it simply -generally in a feast style on boards and in bowls to the centre of the tables.

There is also free camping available in the next door field.

Festival Wedding DJs

We are friendly, approachable and talented DJ’s with years of experience. We love playing a mix of everything and appealing to a wide range of folks, young and old. We play classic soul, funk, disco, indie, reggae, hip hop and house. We’re also not afraid of pop or veering of the beaten path if that’s your jam. Like all good DJ’s it’s about reading the room, playing what you and the crowd know and love. We mix, we scratch, we beat match, but we always respect the music. We play with vinyl or cd decks and will never turn up with just a laptop. We work with you to find the songs you love and songs you hate. We won’t play Agadoo or YMCA – unless you really want us too.

Ohlala Weddings

Gaelle is a wedding photographer based in London and is available all over the UK and beyond. “Hi, I’m Gaëlle and I created Ohlala Weddings to propose a different approach to wedding photography. I will document your day in a non intrusive way, focussing on the fun and emotion shared with your guests, catching natural moments rather than long hours of posed images. One of my Couple’s Mum and Dad sent me this message recently and it made my day ‘You have really captured the day and the atmosphere, yet we hardly knew you were there. I just wanted to say Thank You. What a super job you did.’ “
