Wedding Photographer New Forest

Ancient woodland, open heathland, wandering ponies and pretty villages make the New Forest one of the most romantic places in England to get married. As a wedding photographer New Forest couples trust, I capture your day in a natural, relaxed way, using the soft forest light and big open skies to create timeless photographs.

I am based in Fareham, a short drive along the M27, and I love photographing weddings across the forest, from Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst to Beaulieu, Burley, Ringwood and the coast at Lymington and Milford on Sea. It is a place that rewards a wedding photographer New Forest experience, because knowing where to go makes all the difference.

For a wedding photographer, New Forest venues offer incredible variety. Rhinefield House is a Victorian mansion with formal gardens and a long ornamental canal, while Careys Manor in Brockenhurst has a walled garden and a cedar-shaded courtyard. The Balmer Lawn Hotel, Burley Manor, Beaulieu and Pylewell Park near Lymington, with its own private beach, are all popular choices too.

Whichever you choose, I take time to understand the venue beforehand, so we can make the most of the gardens, the interiors and the forest beyond.

Within minutes of most venues you can be among towering trees or out on the open heath with ponies grazing nearby. The Rhinefield Ornamental Drive is famous for its giant redwoods, the heath around Beaulieu Road glows at sunset and the Beaulieu River at Bucklers Hard gives calm water and reflections. We always keep a respectful distance from the animals, but they often wander into the background, making some wonderfully unmistakable images.

Woodland light is soft and flattering, so even bright days are easy to work with.

My photography packages start from £499 for four hours, with full-day packages for couples who want everything from the morning preparations to the first dance. All packages include a professionally edited gallery, and my Fantail package includes a sneak peek within 48 hours and a printed album.

When comparing a wedding photographer New Forest wide, look at the coverage, editing time and travel, not just the price. My guide to wedding photographer costs in Hampshire explains more.

I also offer wedding videography in the New Forest and wedding content creation in the New Forest, so one team can capture your day in every format. My Hampshire wedding photography page covers the rest of the county, from the coast and the Solent to the rolling South Downs. Choosing a wedding photographer New Forest couples can also book for film and content means one plan, one point of contact and a team who already work together beautifully.
