Feb 3, 2019 | Newborn
One of the most wonderful parts of my job as a wedding photographer is watching families grow and all the joy and love which comes along the way. I often get asked if I will photograph the little bundles of loveliness which sometimes arrive sometime after the wedding, so I’ve decided to offer a very special rate for my past couples only. If you’re looking for babies in hats and baskets then I’m probably not the newborn photographer for you, however if you’d just like some very natural and unposed photos at home with you both cuddling your new squidge, then I would LOVE to do that for you. Just simple, lovely photos.
I’ll come along to your home where we can take some photos of you having a little cuddle with your new baba, in your home and perhaps garden, and you’ll receive all the best 30+ images to download, keep and print yourself for £150 (homes outside of Southampton may include a small travel fee).
These days are so fleeting and precious, lets document them.

Hampshire Wedding Photographer – best of 2018
O my goodness – how do I even begin to put into words how amazing 2018 has been?! First of all, the year FLEW by, I can’t believe I’m sat at my desk again contacting all of my lovely 2019 couples to book in their planning meetings when I was only here doing this for the 2018 guys 5 minutes ago. This year just seemed really easy, with gorgeous weather, gorgeous venues and even more gorgeous couples with big smiles and even bigger hearts. I’ve honestly loved this year so, so much.
I’ll never ever take for granted the trust my couples give to me with capturing their most awesome day – I know what a privilege and honour this is. You allow me to do something that makes me truly happy in a vocation that I love, so for that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
So to each and everyone of my fabulous 31 couples in 2018, THANK YOU, and the happiest of New Years. Ooh, and…can you spot you??
Love, Mia xx

Dec 26, 2018 | June 2018, Parley Manor
Gosh, what a BEAUTIFUL wedding I have for you here at Parley Manor in Dorset! Everything about Georgia & Mike’s wedding was simply gorgeous – gorgeous florals, gorgeous decor, gorgeous people.
Parley Manor is a really special wedding venue as you can get married in the gardens under a marquee, so it’s very close to feeling like you’re getting married outside without the fear of the British weather forecast. In fact we did have a few drops of rain just as Georgia walked towards Mike arm in arm with her Dad, but I doubt anyone noticed as everyone was too busy watching this lovely pair tie the knot.
After the ceremony we wandered around the beautiful gardens and secret little nooks and crannies taking couple photos whilst guests enjoyed drinks on the lawns. When guests went in for dinner they were treated with little gifts at the table – a funny nod to Mike’s pilot job with toy aeroplanes for the fellas to play with.
Everything about Georgia & Mike’s wedding was just so elegant and pretty – I absolutely LOVE their plant put table plan! An absolutely gorgeous day in every way, thank you so much for welcoming Holly and I along.

Dec 24, 2018 | July 2018, Penton Park
This July I was lucky enough to get to shoot at one of my favorite local venues – the wonderful Penton Park in Hampshire. As well as a beautiful wedding and events venue, it’s also a much loved and treasured family home, which is exactly why Penton Park feels to warm and welcoming every time I step through the door.
It was evident how much love and care Suzy & Orlando put into the decor and styling; everything was simple and elegant with soft pastel touches. The weather was perfect if a little windy, so guests were able to enjoy the gorgeous gardens and have their drinks and canapes outside, whilst we took advantage of the beautiful fields for their couple shots.
What a perfect day, thank you so much for being so utterly lovely to Dan and I. Some of these photos are his too.

Dec 21, 2018 | Gate Street Barn, October 2018
I’m so happy to show you a snapshot of this GORGEOUS wedding of Alison & Matt’s at Gate Street Barn in Guildford. I won’t mention the fact that it rained solidly all day, and I mean allllll day, because I doubt anyone else really noticed, the day was so lovely and heartfelt. Gate Street Barn has recently been extended with big glass extra rooms, which flooded the areas with light and made my job much easier (thank you very much GSB!)
The wedding party were brill enough to brave the outdoors with me and posed for photos under brollies and the garden had some sheltered parts which made for some lovely couples’ photos. The evening was topped off with sparklers in the back garden before guests were treated to a ceilidh which, as usual, was hilarious. Cracking wedding guys, thank you so much for having Dan & I along!

Dec 20, 2018 | August 2018, The Mill at Gordleton
Goodness me, what a gorgeous new wedding venue The Mill at Gordleton is! Just on the edge of The New Forest, Goldleton Mill is a lovely counrty pub, serving delicious food and drinks. Although they’ve been holding small weddings for a while, they have only recently gone through a whole new refit, and have had a huge white marquee erected in the gorgeous gardens, so are now able to hold large weddings with lots of guests. The most wonderful thing about The Mill at Gordleton though, is that you can have your wedding outside in the gorgeous gardens; right next to the water. That’s exactly what Hannah & Tom did one sunny day in August – they had my favourite celebrate, David, conduct their wedding in front of their nearest and dearest, in the beautiful sunshine.
The Mill at Gordleton is fast becoming one of my favourite new venues – it ticks SO many boxes for me and the types of weddings I absolutely love to shoot. The gardens have kooky and quirky pieces of art hidden among the flowers and an abundance of wonderful little secret spots which Hannah & Tom had their photos taken in.
One of my favourite things about Hannah & Tom’s wedding, was the incredible decor they pulled off inside their marquee. The styling was breathtaking; I think I said ‘O my goodness, wow’ about a thousand times. The garden marquee was dripping in flowers – all pinks and mauves, with real wild berries and figs. The name places were flower inspired too, with beautiful handmade name places and of course, a naked wedding cake!
Such a gorgeous day, thank you so much for having me along to share it with you both, it’s been an absolute delight to get to know you both.

Nov 25, 2018 | Bartley Lodge, October 2018
Bartley Lodge in Southampton is one of my favourite venues – it’s so cosy and homely with such gorgeous gardens that I was over the moon when Laura & Arran booked me to photograph their special day. I knew it would be perfect for a winter wedding too, because even when the flowers aren’t in bloom there still so much greenery about and the dark paneled walls inside give it such a warm feeling.
Laura & Arran’s wedding was styled beautifully, with soft pink pastels and roses, which looked gorgeous next to the boys’ smart tux suits. I love a man in a tux! They were brilliant enough to brave to cold with me and to wander around the grounds taking couples photos as well as their family photos before everyone went inside for a delicious meal and some very, very funny speeches. Because the night drew in quickly, we took advantage of the dark and got everyone out for a sparkler photo, which is always great fun at every wedding!
I had so much fun with these two, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your day! I’m very honoured to be a little part of it. A bug thank you to Ange too who shot along side me, some of these photos are hers.

Oct 23, 2018 | Hope Farm, September 2018
This wedding was AMAZING!! It’s rare I get to shoot at a new venue these days because so many of my referrals come from venues themselves, so I was very excited when Sarah & Alex booked me to photograph their wedding at Hope Farm in Dorset. I won’t mention the weather (you can probably see why…) but it didn’t matter AT ALL anyway because this wedding was a total blast!
The styling was gorgeous – golds and wild green foliage – with a fabulous floral arch under which they said their vows. The day was all about fantastic food, dancing, O and a Jager Bomb train, O yes!
A total feast for the eyes from start to finish, thank you so much for having me along!
I would absolutely love to shoot more weddings at Hope Farm in Dorset so if you’d like to chat to me about photographing yours, please get in touch here.
Oct 19, 2018 | Bartley Lodge, September 2018
Bartley Lodge is a gorgeous boutique hotel, nestled in among the trees in the beautiful The New Forest. It’s small enough to feel intimate but big enough to feel grand and exclusive, with huge flowery gardens and enormously tall trees peering over it. Can you tell I love it here?! So yes, I was delighted when Danni & Joe asked me to photograph their wedding at the wonderful Bartley Lodge.
Thank you so much for having Emma and I along, we had such a lovely afternoon with you all! And thank you for introducing me to the wonder that is Macaroons, I’ve been dreaming about those ever since! Congratulations again, lovelies xx
