 Firstly I have to say, Lucy + Chris are awesome! Plan and simply just awesome. When they first got in touch about their wedding they were keen to try to tell also aspects of their story, including their love of the sea. With their wedding being at the stunning Master Builders in the New Forest. They were really interested in having a little Highcliffe Engagement Photography session to compliment their wedding day. This was a brilliant idea, sun, sea and sand, perfect. Ha not quite.

On the morning I looked out the window to see what looked like a scene from Day After Tomorrow. I gave Lucy a call to check we were still on, of course she says (I did mention they were awesome right) We met at Highcliffe Castle grabbed some brollys and headed to the beach. Despite the post apocalyptic sky the weather was great and Lucy and Chris nailed it.

If you enjoyed their Highcliffe Engagement Photography session then please check out Lucy + Chris’ incredible Bucklers Hard wedding

Rachel + Simon knew they wanted a winter wedding from the start, no worrying about the weather, gorgeous fires, miles of sparkly lights and of course the obligatory mulled wine! Now you would have thought ‘ok winter wedding’ let make sure its in a nice cozy warm castle (think Hogwats). Nope instead let’s go for a venue renown for its incredible gardens and outside spaces. Enter the stunning Larmer Tree Gardens winter wedding who absolutely hit it out of the park.

The Larmer Tree Gardens Pavillion provided the cozy, covered setting for Rachel + Simon’s ceremony. Decked in lights and festive decorations, it was the perfect winter wedding setting. Following the ceremony the couple and their guest made their way out through the gardens, braving the winter, to gather around the large fire pits outside of Larmer Tree Gardens Lower Indian Room. Here the mulled wine flowed and we managed to sneak off to take advantage of the stunning gardens along with their awesome dog.

Following the drinks reception, everyone was moved back through the gardens to the stunningly adorned pavilion. The sumptuous wedding breakfast gave way to a simply epic party. With the incredible Rachel + Simon cutting some serious shapes till the early hours.

I caught up with Jo & Andy by the Beaulieu Hotel for a quick portrait session in a stunning corner of the New Forest. Both had mentioned they were not used to being in front of the camera. So I recommended we catch up for a little New Forest Engagement Photography session to capture a few moments of them together without the pressure of the day itself. They were both great and gave us the perfect chance to connect ready to capture those beautiful moments on the big day

The story began up with Caroline at the stunning Kingston Country Courtyard wedding venue. Where Caroline was getting ready with her family around her. After capturing a few details, I headed across the venue to catch up with Charles. As he finished of a few venue details and got ready to meet the rest of the boys. Once the suits and ties were on the boys headed a short walk down the road to the local pub for a cheeky pint or two. 

I caught back up with Caroline just as the final bits of prep were being done and her lovely dress was just about to go on. Once she was ready her incredibly proud father arrived just in time to escort her across the venue to her Kingston Country Courtyard wedding ceremony. Subtly shielded by a clever piece of umbrella work as she made her way across the courtyard to meet the waiting groom.

Following the lovely ceremony the guests joined the couple out in the stunning gardens for their Kingston Country Courtyard wedding reception. Kingston Country Courtyards incredible gardens have most amazing views looking back across Dorset’s beautiful Purbeck Hills. Drinks flowed as the reception kicked into gear, and it wasn’t long before the guests were invited to join the couple for their wonderful wedding breakfast.

After what was an incredibly tasty wedding breakfast and some awesome speeches, the party really kicked up a notch with some truly epic dancing!

Huge thank you to the amazing Caroline & Charles for inviting me to tell your incredible story

I first met Laura well ages ago! Her mum (Jennie) I one of my mum’s best friends. So when Laura got in touch to ask if I would be her Parley Manor wedding photographer I jumped at the opportunity. I had met both Laura & Scott earlier in the year to have a nosey about the stunningly beautiful Parley Manor. This was the also the perfect chance to have a chat about what they had planned for their day. 

When we got to the big day itself I caught up with Laura and her bridesmaids, getting ready at her nan’s beautiful New Forest home. After capturing a few details, and setting the scene for the wonderfully chilled out morning, Laura was in the chair having her makeup attended to by her sister Abbey. 

I left the girls and headed across to catch up with scott. Being able to capture both sides of the wedding story is really important to me. Sometimes its not logistically feasible, but when it is it really helps complete the story. Scott was chilling with his family when I arrived. He, in true groom fashion, only took moments to get into his cilt. Before popping open a bottle of cracking looking 18 year old single malt! mmmmmm

Back with the girls, Laura was just putting the finishing touch on getting ready. Before heading off to her Parley Manor wedding with her girls in a stunning bright red Vw Splitscreen camper. I managed to arrive with plenty of time to capture their guests arrive and making their way to the ceremony space. Where a still very smart Scott was waiting joking with friends and family. 

Once she arrived, Laura made her way down to the Parley Manor wedding ceremony space accompanied by her father. Following a wonderful ceremony, the newly married couple joined their friends and family on the lawn.

Once the guests had joined Laura & Scott in the beautifully adorned Parley Manor wedding marquee. The speeches and wedding breakfast kicked off. After tucking into an incredible hog roast I joined Laura and Scott on a little wander around the beautiful grounds. The last of the days light streamed across the crop fields, as I took a minute or two to capture a few moments of them together before heading back to kick the party off.

In true scottish fashion there was of course an incredible Cèilidh to kick the party in to full speed. As the stars came out the party carried on, with everyone getting in to the spirit. A massive thank you the amazing Laura & Scott for inviting me along to tell their lovely Parley Manor wedding photography story.

This Oakley Hall Wedding Photography story began in the family run salon of Bradleys parents, Hair Beauty ltd, where Kay and the girls were getting ready. Bradley got things off to a good start with a hamper full of goodies for Kay and the girls, good man. Following a rather relaxing, well pampered morning, everyone headed back across to Kay’s house. Here the girls put the finishing touches into getting ready before hopping on a beautiful vintage bus to the Oakley Hall wedding.

Bradley was already at the front of the ceremony room, joking with his friends and family, when I arrived at the stunning Oakley Hall. Kay arrived shortly after and accompanied by her dad walked laughing and smiling up the aisle to the waiting Bradley. Following a brilliant ceremony everyone followed the couple out to the lawn to drink in the sun.

A wonderfully adorned marquee full of brilliant little decorations details greeted the guests as they arrived in for their wedding breakfast. Tables full of dress up masks and stick on tattoos! what more could you ask for? . . . . Well following a cracking Oakley Hall wedding breakfast spread came a series of the funniest speeches I have experienced! culminating in a Best Man dressed as Darth Vader brandishing a black rubber fist! I am not even sure I really remember what the punch line was but still can’t help laughing when I see it! I was not alone everyone was ether in stitches or shaking their heads cradled in their hands.

It was this incredible infectious laughter that really set the theme for the day. From the very beginning with the girls in the morning. Through to the EPIC party which Kay and Bradley kicked off following their dinner. The laughter never stopped, it carried on

Many thanks to the amazing Kay and Bradley for inviting me along to tell their incredible Oakley Hall wedding story.
