Hampshire Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a creative, award winning wedding and engagement photographer based in Eastbourne. I photograph weddings across Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and the South.
Planning a wedding in Hampshire? You’re in the right place. My style is relaxed, natural and focused on storytelling. I capture real moments, honest emotion and the small details that help you remember your day as it felt.
Hampshire gives you a wide mix of settings across the county. I often work in the New Forest, Winchester, Basingstoke, Southampton, Portsmouth, Alton, Andover, and the Meon Valley. Each area has its own feel, from ancient woodland to riverside estates and coastal towns, which makes the county perfect for natural and storytelling wedding photography.
Venues like The Grange in Hampshire, Burley Manor, Tithe Barn, The Barn at Avington, Elmers Court, Southdowns Manor, Clock Barn and Skylark give you a huge range of looks for your photos. Whatever your plans, Hampshire gives you beautiful backdrops in every season.
Are you searching for an experienced Hampshire Wedding Photographer?
Congratulations on your engagement. Choosing your photographer matters. You spend the whole day with them, so you need someone who keeps you calm, fits into the day and knows when to step in or step back.
If you want photography that feels natural and honest, with portraits that look effortless and true to you, I can help. I stay close enough to capture the moments that matter while keeping the day relaxed for you and your guests.

Relaxed, Natural, and Full of Life
You want your wedding to feel natural and relaxed. Photography that shows real emotion. Nothing stiff or staged.
Choosing a photographer can feel like a big decision. Look for images that make you feel something and a person you feel comfortable with. We spend a lot of time together on the day, so the fit matters.
No long photo sessions that pull you away from your guests. I already know how to find strong spots for portraits. You stay present while I capture everything.

Chilled, Natural Wedding Photos While You Soak Up Every Moment
(You have fun, I’ll capture the magic)
You need someone who clicks with you
(and knows every corner of your Hampshire venue perfectly!)
Weddings are something I genuinely enjoy. With more than ten years of experience and hundreds of days photographed, I know how to support you, keep things calm, and work quickly when the timeline gets tight.
As a Hampshire wedding photographer, I have captured celebrations at barns, country houses, coastal venues, and garden estates across the county. Hampshire gives you everything from the New Forest and rolling countryside to stately homes and elegant hotels. I know how to use each space so your photos feel honest and full of life.
I focus on storytelling and natural moments, along with simple, flattering portraits that still feel like you. If you want to see more real Hampshire weddings, you can browse my portfolio.

My approach to capturing Hampshire weddings
Every Hampshire wedding has its own character. My approach stays steady. Relaxed. Unobtrusive. Focused on real moments and strong storytelling. Here is how I photograph the key parts of a Hampshire wedding day.
The Morning Buzz
I arrive early and start with the small details and the people closest to you. The build up sets the tone. Hampshire gives you plenty of options for prep, from country house suites to quiet hotel rooms. These moments give you honest laughter, nerves, and warm interactions that become a key part of your gallery.
The Big “I Do”
Hampshire offers many ceremony settings. Country estates, barns, chapels, gardens, and coastal venues. During the vows, I work quietly so you stay present. I capture the tears, the smiles, and the connection between you and your guests. Nothing forced. Nothing staged.
Candid Moments of Happiness!
After the ceremony, the story opens up. Confetti, hugs, mingling, and relaxed guest moments. I keep moving and watch for the natural interactions that show the day as it really felt. You enjoy your time with your people while I document everything.
Creative Portraits
Hampshire gives you varied backdrops. Forest edges, rolling countryside, elegant manor grounds, and historic buildings. I guide you lightly so you feel comfortable. I avoid stiff poses. You get a mix of portraits that feel natural and genuine. This time together is often a quiet pause in the day.
Dancing the Night Away
When the evening builds, I stay close to the action. First dance, reactions from guests, and the lively moments that follow. These images keep the pace and the energy of your celebration alive.
Second Photographer Option
If you want wider coverage, I can bring a second photographer from my trusted team. This helps cover both prep locations, guest arrivals, and a second angle on your ceremony. It also captures extra candid moments while I focus on you. It is a simple way to make your story feel complete.
Wedding Portraits
You can see a selection of portraits from recent Hampshire weddings, showing real couples in natural light and relaxed settings.
Wedding Storytelling Moments
You can look through a set of real moments from Hampshire weddings, captured as they happened without stopping the day.

Wedding photography reviews from couples
Hampshire wedding venues I love working at
I’ve photographed weddings across Hampshire for years, and the county has some of the most varied and beautiful venues in the South. From grand hotels to rustic barns and country estates, here are some favourites I’ve captured and venues couples often search for when planning their day.
- The Grange, Hampshire – A historic estate with striking architecture, wide open grounds, and calm indoor spaces. I am a recommended supplier here, so I know how the day flows. The venue offers a bright ceremony setting, strong backdrops for group photos, and plenty of space for relaxed portraits.
- Elmers Court Hotel and Resort, Lymington – A New Forest hotel with coastal gardens, historic architecture, and wide open lawns. I’ve photographed several weddings here, and the mix of sea views, woodland edges, and elegant interiors gives you a varied set of backdrops through the day.
- Burley Manor, New Forest – A peaceful country house surrounded by woodland and open deer park views. The venue has warm interiors, a bright barn for receptions, and relaxed outdoor spaces that suit natural wedding photography.
- The Old Vicarage, New Forest – A relaxed countryside venue in the heart of the New Forest, with open lawns, characterful interiors, and a real sense of space. The grounds work well for confetti, group photos, and informal moments, while the indoor areas provide a calm setting if the weather shifts. It’s a venue that keeps the day flowing naturally without needing to overthink it.
- Rhinefield House, New Forest – One of Hampshire’s most iconic venues. Grand façades, long driveways, woodland, and formal gardens make this a dream location for portraits. It works beautifully in every season.
- Cain Manor – A private countryside venue with exclusive use, terrace ceremonies and open rural views. The contained layout keeps the day relaxed and makes portraits simple and natural.
- Audleys Wood Hotel, Basingstoke – A country house set in seven acres of private grounds. The Garden Pavilion and the main house give you strong options for indoor and outdoor ceremonies.
- The Barn at Avington, Winchester – A beautiful rustic barn surrounded by open fields, river views and countryside. It suits relaxed celebrations and gives you golden hour opportunities right on the doorstep.
- Tithe Barn, Petersfield – A historic barn with soaring stone arches and natural light. It’s one of Hampshire’s most distinctive venues and perfect for storytelling photography.
- Blacknest Golf and Country Club, Alton – A modern countryside venue with lakes, open grounds, and a dedicated barn-style function room. It gives you a mix of rustic and contemporary settings.
- Rownhams House, near Southampton – Elegant interiors, private gardens and woodland. The Georgian architecture gives you strong portrait spaces whatever the weather.
- Skylark Golf & Country Club, Fareham – A popular Hampshire venue with landscaped grounds, a barn-style ceremony space, and a terrace overlooking the golf course. Great for relaxed outdoor portraits.
- Four Seasons Hotel, Dogmersfield – Luxury setting with grand interiors, pristine gardens and lakeside views. Perfect for couples planning an elegant, high-end celebration.
- Clock Barn – One of the most popular barn venues in the region. It features a beautiful long barn with beams, rolling countryside and relaxed spaces for guests.
- Northbrook Park – Stunning grounds, a private walled garden, and beautiful natural light.
- Norton Park Hotel, Winchester
Each Hampshire venue has its own atmosphere, and no matter which one you choose, I’ll capture your day with a natural, storytelling approach that keeps the focus on you and your people.
Real weddings in Hampshire
Below are a few examples of real weddings I have had the pleasure of capturing within Surrey.
Wondering about the details?
What if it rains?
Hampshire weather can change quickly, but it never ruins a wedding. Venues like Clock Barn, The Barn at Avington, Rhinefield House, and Highcliffe Castle all have bright indoor spaces that work well for photos. If the rain clears, we can step outside for a few relaxed portraits around the grounds. If it doesn’t, I’ll keep everything flexible and still create a full story of your day.
What time will you arrive on the wedding day?
I usually arrive a couple of hours before the ceremony. This gives me time to capture morning preparations, family moments, and the small details that set the tone for the day.
Can you help us plan the timeline for photos?
Yes. After more than two hundred weddings, I know how to build a simple and realistic timeline. For Hampshire venues, this often means planning portraits around garden spaces, woodland backdrops, or sunsets on the open grounds. I will help you get the photos you want while keeping the day relaxed.
Do you offer coverage of the evening party?
Yes. I stay into the evening to photograph your first dance, the atmosphere, and the moment everyone joins the floor. These images show the real energy of your celebration and bring your gallery to life.
We’re not very photogenic or comfortable in front of the camera—can you help?
Yes, and most couples feel the same at first. My style is calm and natural. I guide you lightly, keep things simple, and let genuine moments happen. This keeps you relaxed and gives you photos that feel real.
Do you cover all of Hampshire?
Yes. I photograph weddings across the county, including venues such as Tithe Barn, The Barn at Avington, Rhinefield House, Audleys Wood Hotel, Skylark Country Club, Highcliffe Castle, Norton Park Hotel, and The Grand in Southampton. I also cover nearby border venues like Froyle Park and Clock Barn.
Can you photograph both morning preparations?
If both of you are getting ready at the same venue or close by, I can cover both. If you want full coverage in separate locations, a second photographer is an easy option.
How do we book you?
Just send me a message through the contact form. I will check my availability and arrange a chat about your plans. Most couples book a year or two ahead, so it is worth getting in touch early.
