Betony & Ed's Hampshire Wedding
Betony and Ed married at the end of August in Hampshire, incorporating the local area of Southsea into their day through lots of personal touches including delicate handcrafted details. The thoughtful and individual way many elements of the wedding were brought together, made the day a truly unique one.
The couple’s chosen venues were full of class and history, oozing charm and breathtaking architecture. I was excited to step into my first port of call - Stattons Luxury Boutique Hotel in Southsea.
I photographed the groomsmen getting ready and was pleased that they were all on good form and ready to take on some of my creative composition ideas! I often like to take note of the room shape, layout and furniture to use to my advantage in setting up a shot.

Southdowns Manor is a newly refurbished wedding venue set in the beautiful South Downs National Park and I was pleased to have the opportunity to do a shoot in a location new to me. Originally a 19th Century two storey house, the Manor’s charm and rich history combined with the surround of acres of mellow cornfields were to provide me with a perfect July backdrop to the lovely couple’s wedding day.

I first photographed the couple on their engagement in the winter of 2011 where I took them to one of my famously beautiful locations, an industrial park! It was here the journey of building up a relationship with Nikki and Glenn began.
