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

Todays Pig Hotel Brockenhurst Wedding story began in the stunning seaside village of Keyhaven. Where Anna & Andy were both getting ready along with their parents, who were baby sitting their young son Ezra. I always love these opportunities to tell these intimate wedding stories. Moments so personal, with so much feeling. Integration into the day is so important to, as there are fewer people to hide and move among. Anna’s parents family home was the perfect location to begin their day. With Anna getting ready in the beautifully sun lit upstairs and Andy down stairs with Ezra.

Soon enough though it was time to head to the Romsey Town Hall wedding ceremony. Meeting first at the White Horse Pub to collect any stragglers for the intimate ceremony, Andy then headed across to Romsey Town hall. Anna soon followed across to meet Andy for what was a lovely intimate ceremony surrounded by their family. 

Following the ceremony we all headed to the stunning New Forest to capture a few family moments. Before sending the rest on to The Pig Hotel Brockenhurst so the couple could send a few moments alone together. Soaking up the beautiful sunlight reaching through the tree we had a little wander through the woods. Once back at the car we headed to The Pig Hotel Brockenhurst wedding breakfast. 

Arriving at The Pig Hotel Brockenhurst Anna & Andy joined their guests to sit down to a stunning wedding breakfast. Food is something which The Pig Hotel Brockenhurst is renowned for and never deems to disappoint! During the many courses of excellent food there was time for some lovely personal speeches from various members of the family. This gave some wonderful opportunities for emotive candid portraits.

After their meal the wedding party headed back to the Keyhaven house to soak up the last of the sun. Drinking the night away as the light fell. Thank you so much to the wonderful Anna & Andy for inviting me to tell their Pig Hotel Brockenhurst wedding story.

The Clock Barn is an incredible venue, which I have had the brillaint opportunity to have photographed on a number of occations now. Set within the beautiful rolling hills of the Hampshire countryside, the Clock Barn is that quintessential converted barn venue that is every photographers dream, from the stunning surrounding views to the brilliant quirky details of the the Clock Barn itself.

From when I first arrived at Claire and Toby’s lovely little home on the outskirts of southampton I knew this day was going to be brilliant, walking up the road it didn’t take me long to spot the house. The one with the Wedding dress in the window perhaps. From that point the day just kept getting better and better, the stunning DIY brooch bouquet for example was carefully made by claire herself with personal booches donated by members of her family.

After what was a wonderful ceremony, everyone moved out into the beautiful grounds of the Clock Barn to enjoy the warmth of what was a perfect late spring day. This gave me a chance to sneak back in shoot some of the incredibly personal wedding details. Every detail was so stunningly thought through by the couple, so much colour, so many personal touches, every square inch such a visual treat. After taking the couple out on to the rolling surrounding hills to take full advantage of the last few rays of golden light, Claire and Toby arrived back at the Clock Barn to party on until the evening.

It was such an incredibly fun and personal celebration I felt so honoured to be a part of such an amazing day . . .

Earlier in the year I met up with this wonderful couple for a little shoot along the Southsea Seafront, as a little Hampshire Portrait Photography warm up to their incredible wedding at the nearby Square Tower and Southsea Castle. After a sneaky cone of chippies we all went for a wander along the seafront finishing up by taking a rather ill advised turn on the waltzer! I left the ride feeling more than a little wobbly! . . .

The Montagu Arms is a beautiful venue, set within the historic setting of Beaulieu village. Despite the weather doing its very best to spoil things both Anne & Simon were incredible all day, braving freezing blustery winds and getting stuck in to everything . . .

Every so often I have the incredible opportunity to be part of a truly one off wedding day, it was this feeling I got the very first time I had to pleasure to meet Sarah & Matt. As soon as they began to go through the amazing details of their day I knew it was going to be one to remember.

What a day it turned out to be, from the beautiful village church ceremony to the incredible personal hill top farmland reception. Every detail was so stunningly thought through by the couple, so much colour, so many personal touches, every square inch such a visual treat. I felt so honoured to be a part of such an amazing day and could not wait to share it.

Finally big thank you again to Matt Cleveland who helped second shoot on the day, going beyond the call of duty . . .
