Sep 16, 2019 | September 2019, The Domus
The Domus at Beaulieu is an absolute show stopper of a wedding venue – over 800 years old and originally the monks’ dormitory at Beaulieu Abbey. Old tapestries hang on the walls between candles in the windows, so the whole venue feels historic and that little bit magical.
Kerry & Pete’s wedding was simply perfect from start to finish. A unseasonably hot September day meant their guests could wander around the pretty gardens in the sunshine enjoying their drinks and canapes before moving inside for dinner and speeches. Because we had such a bright and sunny day, we were bless with the most incredible golden hour, so nipped outside again for a few minutes to make the most of the gorgeous light.
An absolutely beautiful day, thank you guys so much for having Holly and I along! Here are a few photos to keep you going before the whole set is ready.

O what a wonderful wedding Rhea & Anthony had at The Old Mill in Reading Saturday! The Old Mill is a cute, pub-like venue with a light and airy conservatory attached to a big party room. It then has a wedding ceremony room in a separate building outside; ideal for Rhea & Anthony’s intimate wedding for close friends and family.
Although it poured with rain all day, the rain gods smiled upon us just when we needed them to and were able to grab a handful of couples shots outside in the fading November light. Rhea has decorated the party room so beautifully with gorgeous little touches everywhere, including an epic sweetie table to everyone’s delight.
An absolutely fabulous day and an even more fabulous party, thank you both so much for having me along to capture it all. Here’s a few photos to keep you going until I’ve edited the rest. Congratulations lovelies!

O my! What an absolutely wonderful explosion of colour Anna & Jamie had at their fabulous Hampshire barn wedding at Clock Barn this month! As soon as I walked toward the barn and saw the pink and turquoise balloons outside the front I knew I was in for a colourful treat. Anna & Jamie has the hottest coloured flowers I’ve seen in a long time, by the super talented Garden Inn florist; packed with hot pinks and purples, plus they had jam-packed the barn with flowers in little jars on just about every surface you can find.
Anna & James had the most beautiful late summer’s day (well apart from that one rain shower but we won’t dwell on that!) so guests enjoyed the fabulous gardens and garden games whilst we strolled around the grounds taking their couples shots. One of my favourite things about Clock Barn is that we are always spoiled for choice with where to take these photos as there are so many gorgeous little places dotted around, and no matter the season or the weather it’s easy to find something that looks great.
Anna & Jamie’s wedding was so beautifully planned and styled out from start to finish, and I have absolutely loved getting to know you both. Congratulations lovelies, you nailed it! Thank you to Holly who shot alongside me, some of these photos are hers.

Aug 26, 2019 | August 2019, Village Hall
Southwick D-Day Memorial Hall.
Village halls make for fantastic wedding reception venues, because you can absolutely put your own stamp on everything; it’s a total blank canvas which you can decorate any way you see fit with very few restrictions and you can have your pick of caterers. Sarah & Luke picked a gorgeous village hall – Southwick D-Day Memorial Hall in Fareham which not only had a decent size space inside but also a large garden out the front which was connected to a play park (much to the delight of the children there!)
They began their wedding at St Mary’s Church in Gosport, just a stones throw away from Sarah’s family home where she got ready with the special women in her life. After arriving at the Church in a super cute camper van, she met a very happy Luke at the alter and they were soon married in front of their nearest and dearest.
It was another gloriously hot Saturday, so everyone enjoyed the sunshine outside before going in for dinner and speeches. The inside of the hall looked incredible – Sarah had beautifully styled the tables with rose gold and navy blue decor and ceiling twinkled with hundreds of fairy lights.
We were gifted with the most glorious golden hour I think I’ve had this whole year, so we raced out to a nearly cornfield and flower meadow to make the most of the gorgeous light. Well done guys on pulling off a totally fabulous day! Thank you for having Holly and I along <3

O my, where to even begin with how gorgeous Francesca & Tom’s country barn wedding was this weekend! Clock Barn in Hampshire is a barn I never tire of photographing…and good job too as I seem to be there every weekend at the moment! It has everything you could ever want for a country wedding – a big beautiful barn, gorgeous gardens and food that’s just out of this world.
Francesca & Tom hired an absolute dream team of suppliers so I was really excited to work with Eden Blooms again to see what they would come up with, and as usual they didn’t disappoint! Francesca’s bouquet was a mix of pinks and foliage, lightly hand-tied to give it the ‘I just picked these from the garden this morning’ look. It was also wonderful to see my friends from Vinnie’s Vehicles again as they brought Francesca and her bridesmaids and parents to the barn in style in their vintage VW camper van. Although it was a little on the windy side, guests enjoyed an afternoon of canapes and fizz in the gardens before moving inside for an evening or music and dancing.
An absolutely gorgeous day from start to finish, thank you so much for having Emma and I along! Congratulations lovelies, you totally smashed it!
