Yesterday was the amazing wedding of Christie and Martin, two dancers from the Northern Ballet Company who were married at St Annes Church in Brockenhurst and the onto Rhinefield House for their wedding reception. I had met Christie and Martin way back in January 2010 at a wedding fair and immediately hit it off with them, and Christie’s family who had also come along.
Yesterdays wedding was at my favourite venue in the New Forest, Rhinefield House – wedding photography is a pleasure at this venue and once again it didn’t disappoint with a dry day improving throughout and with wonderful light in the great hall. Our last wedding of the year was at Rhinefield House as well, and I was really looking forward to my first of the year.
We photographed a pre-wedding shoot at Rhinefield House today for Liz and Carl who are getting married there later in the spring. Rhinefield House is one of my favourite venues to shoot outside on location.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Libby & Richard at their Rhinefield House winter wedding. This was an intimate wedding with 40 guests based entirely at probably my favourite wedding venue in Hampshire.
We have just designed a new display album from one of our Rhinefield House weddings. This display album is in two sizes a 12×8″ (A4) and a 14×10″ both identical in design to enable us to show the difference in image sizes and album covers.
Earlier this evening I photographed Christie and Martin’s pre-wedding shoot at the Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest. Although they are not getting married until 2011 Christie and Martin were keen to do their pre-wedding shoot at this time, and it was good timing as well as the grounds will be in similar condition when they get married. It was also great to see them again having initially met at the wedding fair at Botley Park Hotel earlier in the year.
Rhinefield House reception followed an All Saints, Botley wedding for Rosie and Scott on New Years Eve 2009.
Currently all of our wedding packages include a pre-wedding shoot. This shoot is also available to couples who are getting married abroad, and also those who have selected another photographer (or not chosen yet) and who would like some photographs to celebrate their engagement as a separate portrait session. Today whilst out we delivered the pre-wedding shoot framed print for Rosie and Scott who are getting married on New Years Eve and a photograph of the finished product can be seen below.
Rhinefield House was the location for todays pre-wedding shoot with Rosie and Scott who are getting married there later in the year.
Todays wedding was at one of my favourite locations for wedding photography in Hampshire the Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest – good weather was the least Julie and John deserved on their wedding day and we got it.
On Sunday afternoon following Rosalind and Matt’s pre-wedding shoot I drove down to the Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest where I had been two days earlier for Gemma and Kristian’s wedding.
Today we photographed the wedding of Gemma and Kristian at Rhinefield House in the New Forest. Another stunning wedding, and lovely couple.

We had the pleasure of being the hampshire based wedding photographer for Katie and Lee at Rhinefield House in the New Forest on the 2nd December, for our final wedding of this year.
This was my first civil partnership and I could not have wished for a more stunning location in Rhinefield House, or such as nice couple as Dale and David. Having only met them about 5 weeks previous to the wedding we had little time to get to know each other but I felt instantly at ease and had a very memorable day.
