What a day. Being Ellie and Sam’s Rhinefield House wedding photographer was nothing short of unforgettable and a huge highlight of my year. It’s the kind of day that makes me feel incredibly lucky to do what I do.

Set in the heart of the New Forest, Rhinefield House always brings a bit of magic to the day, but Ellie and Sam took things to a whole new level. From the moment I arrived, there was an atmosphere of excitement, love, and genuine joy, the kind that makes every photo feel like a little time capsule.

A Glorious Setting

The sun showed up in full force, giving us a warm summer glow that lit up the venue beautifully. Ellie looked absolutely stunning – elegant and radiant – and Sam couldn’t stop smiling from the moment he saw her. Their ceremony was heartfelt and full of laughter, surrounded by their favourite people in one of the most beautiful venues in the country.

Photo Magic

I honestly couldn’t have asked for better light, better people, or a more joyful vibe. We explored the grounds together for portraits, capturing some truly magical moments between just the two of them – relaxed, real, and full of love. The joy they share is infectious, and it shows in every photo.

Surprise, Surprise!

One of the absolute highlights of the day? The singing waiters. No one saw it coming, and the moment they burst into song, the whole room lit up. Laughter, clapping, napkins waving in the air – it was pure theatre, and the guests were loving every second. Honestly, I’ve rarely seen a wedding breakfast turn into a mini concert like that!

A Finale to Remember

As the sun dipped below the treetops, the celebrations continued into the night. And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any more amazing… the fireworks started. What. A. Show. Bursts of colour lit up the night sky, and I managed to capture some incredible photos of Ellie and Sam watching together – one of those perfect, cinematic moments.

Ellie and Sam, thank you for letting me be part of such a phenomenal day. Your energy, your kindness, and your love for each other made it an absolute joy to be a part of.
