We met up with Leanne and Marcus over at Christchurch Quay near the Bandstand and chatted about their wedding plans and what they are looking for from their wedding photography. The wedding is in June this year with the wedding ceremony at St Michael and All Angels in Hinton and the reception at the Burley Manor Hotel in the New Forest.
I think we overworked Leanne and Marcus, normally for the pre wedding engagement sessions we suggest to have 2 locations in mind and they normally run to about 3 hours maximum. More than that and it can get tiring, they both held up really well though as we flitted between Rhinefield's ornamental drive and Highcliffe castle and the beach at Highcliffe. We stopped along the way at St Michael and All Angels in Hinton to check out the church, really cute red brick church on the A35 as you head out from Christchurch towards Rhinefield House.
Teri and I know The Burley Manor at Burley but will go over about 2 weeks before the wedding and make sure it is how we remember it! We love the New Forest and feel very lucky to live so close to such a beautiful area of the country, so far this year we have five New Forest Weddings booked and already for next year we are on track to photograph more than five!
Look forward to seeing Leanne and Marcus in June! :)
