The New Forest

A walk in The New Forest,Hampshire Engagement Photography Liz & Tom

Liz & Tom are planning a very laid back wedding in The New Forest, Hampshire.  The couple are getting married at Southampton Art Gallery and are then having their reception at Emery Down Village Hall, which is in the heart of the forest.  We took a stroll down the country lanes into the woods, whilst finding out more about Liz & Tom's wedding plans.

It sounds like their wedding is going to be a lot of fun and we are looking forward to spending the day with them in a few weeks time!

The heavens opened just after we took these shots and we all got drenched, so thank you Liz & Tom for putting up with the weather!

A New Forest Engagement Hampshire Victoria & Thomas

Victoria & Thomas are getting married at Stanwell House Hotel in Lymington this May.  We met up with them in The New Forest, Hampshire to catch up on their wedding plans and take a wonder through the woodland.

This part of the forest has some of the largest trees.  The light was perfect this late spring afternoon  and it was very still in the forest.  We saw deer in the local park and ponies wondering amongst the trees.  

We are looking forward to Victoria & Thomas' wedding, which is only weeks away!

Rhinefield House Wedding The New Forest Gemma & David Part II

Following Part I of Gemma & David's wedding ceremony at St. Annes Roman Catholic Church in Brockenhurst here is Part II.

Gemma & David's wedding reception was held at Rhinefield House Hotel, set in the middle of the New Forest, Hampshire.  It was the perfect setting for their Winter Wonderland wedding. Gemma looked stunning in her lace dress and Audrey Hepburn hairstyle. I loved the classical style of their wedding!

We took some portraits of the couple in the gardens, which back on to the forest itself, before heading inside for the wedding breakfast.  The banquetting hall was beautifully decorated with white flowers, candles and table names of the couples favourite places, which were hand drawn by the Best Man.

The band were on fire in the evening; The singer certainly wasn't camera shy and got everyone up and dancing.  Before we left we went with the couple to the beautiful Indian Room, which has to be my favourite rooms in Rhinefield House Hotel, it is so colourful and intricately decorated.

New Forest Wedding Hampshire Gemma & David Part I

Gemma & David had a Winter wedding in the middle of the New Forest, Hampshire.  The preparations began at Rhinefield House Hotel, which is set amongst huge fir trees.  

Gemma & David's wedding ceremony took place at St Annes Roman Catholic Church in Brockenhurst, just down the road from Rhinefield House.  The church was filled with candles, ivy and white flowers, which gave the room a romantic feel.  Frankincense burned as guests awaiting for Gemma to arrive.

The ceremony was beautiful and the Vicar told many stories of the meaning of love today and explained the Greek words for love, of which there are four; Agape, Eros, Philia and Storge. 

Following the ceremony we were joined by a couple of passing donkeys, which Gemma was thrilled about! We then made our way back to Rhinefield House for the Reception in Part II

Lymington Wedding Photography Hampshire Dawn & Alex's Vintage Chic Wedding

Following their wedding ceremony in Part I here's Part II of Dawn & Alex's vintage chic wedding at Stanwell House Hotel. We walked down the cobbled high street to Lymington Quay to take some shots of the couple on the jetty.  The light was perfect down by the water and we had an audience by the time we finished.

When we headed back guests were milling in the gardens drinking champagne before the wedding breakfast.  The tables were decorated with handmade place names, silver buttons, sweets in jars, cup cakes, vintage frames and country flowers all in pinks and purple, which were the colours that ran throughout the day.

As the evening came guests had tea, cake and sweets in the conservatory, which was decorated with candles and fairy lights.  Dawn and Alex had their first dance   and all the guests gathered to watch (no pressure then!) everyone joined the couple on the dance floor as soon as they could!

Congratulations to you both! We are so pleased you had a great time on your honeymoon...
