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.

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

Part II A Winter wonderland wedding reception at Rhinefield House Hotel

Gemma & David had a Winter wedding at the beautiful Rhinefield House, set in The New Forest.  You may remember their Engagement shoot, which we shot back  in the Summer.

Here are a couple of photographs from their wedding day.  More to follow soon!

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...

Part I: Dawn & Alex got married on 29th July at Stanwell House in Lymington. Lymington is on the edge of The New Forest right by the quay and has that relaxed seaside feel!  Dawn & Alex have always loved Stanwell House and the forest, so chose this setting for their chic wedding.

Dawn and Alex are so natural together and it was a pleasure to be a part of their day. Their wedding was full of personal touches and most of the details were made by Dawn, Dawn's mum and an array of tallented friends!

I began the day with Dawn up on the balcony, where hair and make-up was underway, whilst Scott was downstairs with the boys. Dawn looked stunning in her Suzanne Neville wedding dress and lace bolero so much so that the staff were knocking on the door to take a peek before the ceremony.

The ceremony room was beautiful and light and the ceremony itself was full of laughter.  Following the ceremony we ventured down the cobbled lane to Lymington Quay to take some shots of the couple alone before heading back to the gardens for drinks and confetti!

We met Gemma & David one sunny Sunday afternoon at Rhinefield House, where the couple will be having their wedding later this year!  

We took a walk amongst giant red firs in The New Forest, Hampshire for the couple's pre-wedding shoot.

We can't wait for Gemma & David's winter wedding and are looking forward to heading back to Rhinefield House and taking some shots of the beautiful rooms there.  How magical would Rhinefield House look in the snow!

At the weekend we headed to the edge of The New Forest to meet Dawn & Alex, who's wedding we are photographing this Summer in Lymington.

We talked about their wedding plans over coffee in the beautiful Stanwell House Hotel and then wondered down to the Quay for their Engagement Shoot.

We had such fun and are very much looking forward to photographing these two again!
