Rhinefield House Wedding Photography, New Forest, Farrha and Ben

Farrha and Ben choose Rhinefield House in the New Forest for their wedding and as they are based outside Hampshire Rhinefield was also the place we first met. What immediately struck us about Farrha and Ben was their energy and enthusiasm, which to be fair they needed as they were planning the wedding with only a few months to go!

Teri and I knew after spending time with Farrha and Ben on their engagement session the wedding was going to be a lot of fun to photograph. Several surprises, there always is a new way of seeing a venue even when you know it well, we were able to use the private apartments upstairs (thanks to a lovely couple who invited all of us into their home!). The Turkish smoking room made an amazing setting for the romantic nighttime images of Farrha and Ben creating a wonderful end to a brilliant day.

It is always a pleasure to photograph weddings at Rhinefield House, still one of our favourite New Forest venues, the light, the beautiful interiors, the manicured lawns the beautiful facade all work together to create a stunning backdrop and add a certain wow factor for wedding couples and their guests. Farrha and Ben's wedding is the first of this years weddings at this venue, we'll be back again for a winter wedding!

Wish Farrha and Ben very many congratulations from Teri and I! :)

New Forest Wedding Photography at Whitley Ridge, Anna and Ian

Anna and Ian's August wedding at Whitley Ridge in the New Forest was the first time Teri and I have photographed a wedding at this New Forest Wedding Venue and we had a blast!

The wedding and reception took place at the beautiful Whitley Ridge Manor House near Brockenhurst and there was a very relaxed and intimate feel to the day, having just a small number of family and friends.

One of the fun things Anna and Ian had asked was for a re-creation of a treasured family photograph taken nearly 100 years ago. While we don't often so formally pose group shots it can be fun and the aged sepia effect Teri added made the wedding photo very similar in tint and tone with the 100 year old image Anna had shown us.

Whitley Ridge itself is a wonderful venue, a hotel with a manor house feel and wonderful landscaped grounds for the romantic shots with Anna and Ian, the timing could not have worked out better as we managed to capture the warm evening sunlight.

Wishing Anna and Ian very many congratulations from Teri and I! :)
