Jun 1, 2019 | Beaulieu Hotel, May 2019
Penny & Sebastian’s wedding at Beaulieu Hotel in the heart of the New Forest was an absolute beauty and a pleasure to photograph. Friends and family had traveled from all over the globe to celebrate with them, so the wedding was full to the brim with love and people who were so, so happy to be together. The wedding decor reminded us that spring is definitely here with touches of pinks and greens in the bouquets and the garden was in full floral bloom. Guests made the most of the sunshine by enjoying drinks and canapes in the pretty garden whilst we popped out across the road for their couples shots.
We were lucky enough to get the most beautiful light in the evening; and grabbed the golden hour with both hands to make the most of it with their photos.
What a wonderful day, thank you both so much for having me along, I loved every minute.

May 31, 2019 | May 2019, The Old Vicarage
Lauren & Alex’s wedding at The Old Vicarage in Dorset was one of those weddings where I just wished I’d been a guest! Everything was just so damned cool AND beautiful, which is an unusual and winning combination in my eyes. The bride wore a blue, yes BLUE wedding dress, with delicate pink flowers sewn in and possibly the sparkliest pair of heals I’ve ever seen.
Lauren and her gals got ready at The Kings Arms Hotel in Christchurch before arriving in style to The Old Vicarage in some cool vintage cars, generously loaned by some friends. Although it rained most of the day, this gorgeous pair didn’t let it dampen their spirits, even when it meant they couldn’t get married outside like they’d hoped. The best thing about The Old Vicarage is that, even if you are unlucky with the weather, the ceremony room with it’s huge stag head it just as wonderful as the great outdoors, so nothing was really lost. And with Willow & Wisps‘ glorious fauna, it looked as if the outside was inside anyway.
After the ceremony the rain suddenly stopped so we ran outside like crazy people to take some couples shots and the family photos, enjoying the lush and colourful gardens. A delicious BBQ and speeches followed, before the evening party kicked off with a hilarious dancing game, which made for some absolutely awesome photos!
Thank you so much lovelies, I had a blast!! Thank you for having Holly and I along – some of these photos are hers.

May 31, 2019 | Christchurch Harbour Hotel, May 2019
Kat & Jonathan got married on a gloriously hot day this May at Christchurch Harbour Hotel in Dorset. As the sun shone down and guests excitedly began to arrive, Kat got ready in one of the hotel rooms with her lovely Mum and best girls.
The ceremony took place in front of large windows and sea views, before guests milled about and chatted in the pretty gardens. Everyone took in the holiday like atmosphere; the weather and the views made everyone – me included – feel like they were on holiday in Spain, which was, as you can imagine, rather glorious. After fun and frolics on the lawns, everyone went back indoors to a delicious 3 course meal (thanks for including me guys!). A jam packed day of laughter and fun, thank you so much for having me along, I absolutely loved it.

Apr 19, 2019 | April 2019, Burley Manor
Finally, the sun is here! After what feels like the longest winter ever, the sun wonderfully showed up yesterday for Victoria & Dustin’s wedding at the glorious Burley Manor in The New Forest. Victoria & Dustin held their wedding ceremony in the beautiful barn, with it’s beamed ceiling and pretty garden, just off the main Manor House. The wedding party all wore gorgeous outfits with coordinated burgundy touches, which all tied together perfectly with the flowers.
I know they were really hoping for a fun and relaxed day with their closest friends and family, and that’s exactly what they got. The lovely weather meant everyone spent the evening sat outside chatting as the sun went down, and we even got to sneak away for some couples shots in the New Forest.
What a perfect day, thank you so much for having me along guys!

Apr 15, 2019 | April 2019, Garden Marquee Wedding
O my, I have a corker in store for you tonight on the blog! Connie & Will’s garden marquee wedding was one of the best weddings I’ve been to…EVER! And I’ve been to quite a few as you can imagine 🙂 I love love love garden marquee weddings and this was absolutely no exception.
Connie & Will’s wedding reception was held in the garden grounds of Connie’s family farm home, complete with chickens, barns and tractor. Bunting covered the outside space along with many pots of spring flowers and even a Splat the Rat game and a coconut shy. The wedding was help in St Peter’s Church just down the road, so Connie & Will could make the perfect get away exit on the back of a tractor before arriving back home in time to be covered in confetti. Music was a big part of their wedding and their brass band played not only during the wedding service but in the courtyard too before guests were treated to a hearty chicken pie dinner in the marquee. The evening was topped off with an awesome ceilidh band which ALWAYS make for the most hilarious photos…
Amazing wedding guys, you totally smashed it!! Thank you so much for having Emma and I along, we loved every minute.
