THe Tythe Barn Launton Wedding Day | A beautiful countryside wedding Venue in oxfordShire, England | OXFORD Wedding Photographer
Courtney and Neil fell in love and had a beautiful wedding day at the tythe barn launton in the oxfordshire countryside, just outside of london. The tythe barn is a lovely venue as it has modern amenities set in historic buildings with lovely architecture. There is a stunning farmhouse that was renovated in the 17th century, where you and your bridal party can stay at the night before and after the wedding day. There is a tennis court, a hot tub, beautiful gardens and plenty of living spaces for your loved ones to relax around your wedding day. Also, with the tythe barn being so close to london as well, if you have wedding guests flying in, it’s a close enough drive to the city or you can easily get public transport or a cab from a larger nearby city like Oxford, England.
The day started with a little mist in the air, which of course as they say “rain brings luck on a wedding day”, and thankfully courtney and neil were the perfect example of a couple that didn’t let a little bit of water affect the mood of the day. They still were up for walking around the gardens with umbrellas and the rain even let up a bit for them to stroll around without the umbrellas as well, and the rain made the sidewalks glisten and romantic, which wouldn’t have been the case if it was a dry and sunny day. The guests were also happy to have umbrellas outside for the cocktail hour in the courtyard of the tythe barn. Overall, this wedding day was made more exciting by everyone stepping outside for the breaks in the rain. All in all, everyone was there to celebrate their love and that was what happened all day long.

the tythe barn is the kind of wedding venue that has so many indoor spaces for the bar, cocktail hour and dinner and dancing area, that you don’t have to be outdoors if you don’t want to be. And the interior of the the tythe barn has many floor to ceiling windows looking into the courtyard gardens, so there is plenty of natural, yet moody light indoors, as well as a lovely view to the greenery in the gardens. Courtney got ready in the largest room at the top of the tythe barn farmhouse, which overlooked the tennis court and garden. Her wedding dress was by the designer Alexandra Grecco, her makeup was done by Frankie Calver and her hair was styled by the talented Sally-Kate Duboux.
Courtney’s dad walked with her over to the ceremony in the main barn hall where neil saw her for the first time in her wedding dress. Tanya Lee Sutton did an amazing job on the romantic florals that lined the ceremony aisle down to a cluster of candles where courtney and neil said their vows and became husband and wife. My husband and I photographed both digital and film photos for courtney and neil’s wedding day, and below’s wedding blog post is a mix of both film and digital wedding captures. After the portraits in the garden the rain cleared again and the couple were able to enjoy drinks in the courtyard before sitting down to dinner, and again for coffee in the courtyard before dancing. Then later into the night, after the cake cutting and nonstop dancing with the disco ball overhead commenced, late night pizza was served from an open fire pizza oven.
Overall, from looking at the expressions of joy, laughter and love from this wedding day at The Tythe Barn Launton, you can tell that the weather only enforced what everyone knew to be true, and that’s courtney’s and neil’s love for each other was a celebration that will be remembered by everyone for a lifetime. x
