Laura & Stu- Pre-wedding Portraits at Bartley Lodge
Laura and Stu are getting married at Bartley Lodge in the New Forest this March. We caught up at the New Forest hotel to go through the plans for their day, and got a few pre-wedding photos. Looking forward to the wedding in March…

Carrie & Terry’s Christmas Wedding at Rhinefield House
Happy New Year! Just before Christmas I photographed Carrie & Terry’s wedding at Rhinefield House in the New Forest. It was my last wedding of 2009 and gladly continued my run of no rainy weddings for the whole year! (am I a lucky omen?) While the rest of the country was blanketed under snow, it was one of those sunny, crisp and cold winters days on the South Coast. Rhinefield is one of those venue’s thats great in summer or winter, and it is certainly a cosy setting with the christmas trees, wood burning fires and chandeliers.
The wedding was of course festive themed. During the ceremony the congregation sang Rudolf the Rednosed reindeer, and the tables were named after Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Dixon (and Bernard?) The table centrepieces were mini-christmas trees and the place names written on colourful baubles.
Everyone was in good spirits and Carrie & Terry are a very easy going couple and it certainly felt like they are going to have a happy life together.
Here’s some sneak previews of their wedding photos (an extended post as they’ve had to wait until the after Christmas break!) The full gallery will be up for friends and family by the end of the week. Many Congratulations Mr & Mrs Whittaker!

Gemma & Jon’s Wedding at Rhinefield House
Gemma & Jonathan got married on a very blustery day in the New Forest. Rhinefield House was finely decorated with a rich autumnal theme and Gemma brightened things up in a gorgeous red wedding dress. I thought I my unbroken ‘no rain’ record for 2009 would surely be over, but the wind proved to be more of a problem. Think Gemma lost her veil at least 3 times while we went out for a brief photo session. I hear the blown-to-bits look is in for winter 2009 brides
Back indoors, it was a warm and relaxed wedding with some lovely people and memorable moments.
Here’s some sneak previews of their wedding photos. The full gallery is now online for friends and family and is passworded with the bride’s maiden name.
Gemma & Jon, many congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful life together!

I’m sure the photos of me running round like an idiot trying to catch the veil were funnier but sadly I was the only one with the camera

Jamie & Sarah’s Wedding Photobooth at Chewton Glen
Yesterday I did a wedding photobooth for Jamie & Sarah’s wedding at Chewton Glen in the New Forest. A photobooth is great laugh for the guests and something I really enjoy doing too- bit of a break from the ’real’ wedding photography I usually go for. The bride and groom and their friends and family were well up for it and we got some really funny photos.
The Full Gallery is now online for friends and family to view and purchase at Photobox
