Rhinefield House Winter Wedding

What better way to begin our 2012 blog adventure than a wonderful winter wedding at Rhinefield House in the New Forest.

Catherine and Kevin wanted a Christmas theme for their Hampshire wedding and Rhinefield House provided the perfect backdrop, complete with huge Christmas Tree in the grand ceremony room.

Winter weddings conjure up the idea of bitter weather, grey skies and even snow but December can be very mild as it was for this wedding. We were able to use the full grounds of the venue for both the formal groups and romantic alone portraits, I think the arbor is particularly stunning when it has lost the last of it's Autumn leaves.

Wonderful day for our second Christmas wedding at Rhinefield House and such a warm and cosy atmosphere for the whole day.

Many congratulations Catherine the Kevin!

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! :)
