Today, I wanted to share a delightful family photoshoot we did in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water, nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” this charming spot is a favourite tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why, with its honey-coloured buildings and bridges, river suitable for paddling in, and the surrounding amazing countryside.
Our shoot took place early in the morning. An early start was crucial to avoid the usual hustle and bustle of tourists that flock to Bourton-on-the-Water, especially during the spring and summer season. It also means the family could treat themselves to a well deserved coffee and brunch afterwards at one of the many excellent restaurants in the area.
The family I had the pleasure of photographing had travelled all the way from Singapore for their holiday. They chose to spend some of their precious vacation time capturing authentic and relaxed moments together, and I’m so glad they did. As a family photographer, it’s always a joy to witness and document these precious interactions. Not all children are always smiley either, and I think it’s important to let them be themselves instead of pushing them to smile for the camera. These candid moments are the essence of what makes a family photoshoot truly memorable.
Bourton-on-the-Water, with its charming scenery and tranquil atmosphere, provided the perfect backdrop for this relaxed session. Whether you’re a local or visiting the Cotswolds, I highly recommend considering Bourton-on-the-Water for your next family photoshoot. The combination of the stunning surroundings and the relaxed, casual vibe makes it an ideal location for capturing those special moments with your loved ones.
If you’re planning a visit to the Cotswolds and want to create some lasting memories with a family photoshoot, do get in touch. I’d love to help you capture the joy and love that make your family unique.
For now, I hope you all enjoy this glorious UK springtime and keep making beautiful memories!
