Pre-Wedding Photos at Warbrook House: Lynne & Jason

Lynne and Jason get married soon at DeVere Warbrook House near Hook. We had a little wander around the grounds one evening and caught the last of the sunlight for their portraits in the woods. Warbrook House is a stunning setting but photography is about light, right? Just love that warm sunlight in the golden hour before sunset.

Rhinefield House Wedding Photography: A look at one of my Favourite Wedding Venues

Rhinefield House in the New Forest is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the South, set in the heart of the Forest with stunning ornamental gardens and a variety of rooms for your wedding ceremony and reception, whether you are planning a grand affair or an intimate celebration. It’s one of my best wedding venues to work at as a wedding photographer in the New Forest. I just love the variety of locations in the grounds, which offer a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding photography. I find the interiors of Rhinefield House are fantastic especially for Autumn and Winter weddings, with log fires, cosy wood panelling and those huge chandeliers.

If you are considering Rhinefield House for your wedding, here are some photographs to show you around, all shot during real weddings at Rhinefield.

There are various rooms for you to have your civil ceremony at Rhinefield House. For large weddings you can get married in the aptly named Grand Hall or the Hurst Suite. It is also surprising for such a grand venue, that Rhinefield is also well suited to a more intimate wedding and smaller weddings can be held in the Keepers Room.

Rhinefield House has some great spots for your wedding portraits, and if you are willing to dedicate some time to your portraits a nice stroll around the grounds can make your bride and groom photo session seem very relaxed. There are lots of steps, trees, benches, fountains, an archway of trees, the blue gates to nowhere and the ornamental pond. Being in the forest, Rhinefield changes dramatically through the seasons, from spring blossom to the reds and orange of autumn.

The Grand Hall looks amazing when all made up for your wedding reception, and as darkness falls it always feels very cosy despite the size. I think Rhinefield is my favourite Christmas wedding venue, it just feels very festive with the tree in the corner, and wreaths and fairylights. The Kings room which leads off from the Grand Hall is great for a disco or band and there are also lots of other rooms for guests to split off for a quiet chat.

The Alhambra room is a hidden gem at Rhinefield House, an intimate private dining room designed in a Moroccan style. It is a spectacular setting for a very special intimate celebration.

Croatia: Holiday on the Adriatic Coast

Last week was our 3rd wedding anniversary- seemed an ideal time to take a week out so Jeff and I went to Croatia. Thought I’d share a few pictures from the week’s travels along the Dalmatian coast…

We flew into Split. The old centre of the city is based in and around Diocletians’s Palace, built by the retiring Roman emperor. Over time the palace has been overtaken by shops, apartments and cafes, making a really interesting warren of narrow streets, squares, stairs and passages.

We went white water rafting on the Cetina River, which flows through a gorge and into the Adriatic. It was a bit tame, but very pretty.

Next stop was Krka National Park, and the beautiful waterfalls at Skradinski buk. The water was so clear and blue-green.

Autumn in the New Forest

The end of summer isn’t that bad. The golden afternoon light is gorgeous at this time of year. Driving through the New Forest this afternoon after a portrait session in Christchurch I just had to stop to grab some shots across the heathland.

My Italian Wedding Photos

Last week was my 2nd wedding anniversary so I thought I would share some pictures from my own wedding.
 
Jeff and I didn’t want a traditional English wedding so we decided to have our wedding abroad. We flew out with 16 of our close friends and family and got married in Malcesine, a pretty village on Lake Garda in Italy. The ceremony was held on the terrace of the medieval Malcesine castle perched on the rocky lake shore. It was so beautiful looking out over the blue lake and mountains, with the terracotta roofs and windy streets of the village below. After the civil ceremony we walked through the cobbled streets and boarded our private boat for a champagne cruise on the lake. We spent our evening at the lakeside, eating, drinking and laughing, enjoying a scrummy 7 course Italian feast and plenty of wine.
 
A wedding abroad is not for everyone, but if you want to do something different to the big family do then I cannot recommend it enough. The setting, the weather, the food and drink, are all so amazing. The whole week we were at Lake Garda was a celebration and a really great holiday. (Jeff maintains the best day was in fact speed boat day, not the wedding)
 
Our photos were taken by Gwen at Lake Garda Weddings, who were excellent in organising the whole wedding for us (another recommendation there). Such a great place for wedding photos too, I would love to go back and photograph a wedding in Malcesine  (ps- I you are getting married in Lake Garda and want an English Photographer who knows the location then get in touch for a great rate!)
