The History of Cripps Barn
Cripps Barn, situated in the tranquil village of Bibury in Gloucestershire, is a historic wedding venue that carries a rich legacy. Established in 1980, the structure of the barn is a testament to England’s old-world charm, as it was built in 18th-century Cotswold stone. Residing amidst an area of outstanding natural beauty, its surrounding landscapes epitomize the rural beauty of the Cotswolds. Initially, the venue was a place for local festivities and various community events. However, as the barn steadily gained fame for its rustic allure, it transitioned into a much sought-after location for matrimonial ceremonies in the 1990s. Today, the barn is renowned for hosting remarkable weddings in its characteristic rustic setting. While its distinguished history has set a firm foundation, the upkeep and modern amenities provided by Cripps & Co., the company managing the property since the early 2000s, have greatly enhanced the barn’s appeal. Over the decades, Cripps Barn has maintained its quintessentially English character while shaping hundreds of memorable wedding experiences, setting itself as a revered institution in the backdrop of Gloucestershire’s historic legacy. Its history is marked by cherished traditions, tales of love, and an unmistakable sense of place in the heart of the Cotswold countryside.

FAQs
Picking your Cripps Barn Wedding Photographer- why Pedge Photography?
Besides the fact that you are getting a highly professional, experienced, and creative photographer who will capture all of the special moments of your wedding day, family and friends, you are getting someone that goes in to each wedding knowing that every couple is unique and that all weddings deserve their own twist and personality, rather than be provided a conveyor belt experience. I take great pride to subtly merge into your day and to be approachable for all your guests. The Cotswolds is an area I grew up in and I am all too familiar with everything the region has to offer.
What products do you offer as a Cripps Barn Wedding Photographer?
This can bespoke based on your needs. All packages include a digital gallery in which you, your family and friends can enter with a password and download to any device. On top of this, you can also purchase prints, framed goods and albums through the digital gallery. If you would like me to build you an album, I offer an additional album package as well. Other bits, should you wish to choose them, include a pre-wedding shoot in the cotswolds or a second photographer for your wedding day.

Of course! Although I describe myself as a Cotswolds wedding photographer, I am happy to travel beyond. Drop me a message to find out more!
