Summer Wedding at Rhinefield House
Amy and James’s wedding day at Rhinefield House Hotel, New Forest
I had such a great time capturing Amy and James’ beautiful summer wedding at the gorgeous Rhinefield House Hotel. The day kicked off with bridal prep in the morning, and I couldn’t help but smile as Amy and her bridesmaids laughed and chatted excitedly about the day ahead. The energy was contagious, and I knew it was going to be an amazing day.
Meanwhile, James had a unique start to his big day – he got a helicopter ride to the venue! The joy on his face when he landed was priceless, and my second photographer Antony made sure to capture that moment for them to treasure forever.
The outdoor ceremony was stunning, with the sun shining down on the happy couple as they exchanged vows. The lawn reception was just as beautiful, with guests enjoying the warm weather and celebrating the newlyweds.
As the day heated up, I was mindful of the temperatures during the group photos and couples’ portraits. We waited until the evening when the sun wasn’t as harsh, and it was totally worth it. The golden hour light was perfect for capturing those intimate moments between Amy and James, and the group photos were full of laughter and joy, especially with the bridesmaids.
One of the highlights of the day was the bouquet toss. Amy nailed it, and the excitement on the faces of the single ladies as they jumped to catch the bouquet was unforgettable. I loved capturing that moment.
As the day wrapped up, Amy and James’ first dance was really intimate before the rest of their guests joined them on the dance floor!
It was a day full of beautiful, emotional, and memorable moments, and I feel honored to have been there to capture it all. Amy and James’ wedding was a day to remember, and I’m grateful to have been part of it. Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever after!
