A "New Forest" Themed Wedding - in the New Forest

The New Forest has always been a very special place for both Joe and Lauren so when it came to their wedding day the New Forest had to figure highly in their photographs. Their wedding venue, the  Bartley Lodge Hotel, was right in the heart of the New Forest but it's wonderfully manicured grounds didn't portray the rustic look they wanted...

...so it was off down the country lanes, away from the patios, flower beds and lawns of their venue.

Joe and Lauren were awesome and we got some stunning shots of them...

...in amongst their New Forest...

 ...but it wasn't just about the Forest, there were really touching moments...

...and lots of fun 

...and the occasional much needed glass of coke!

After their meal they were blessed with a stunning New Forest evening sky, so it was back down the country lane for some more photographs of them in their beloved Forest...

 ...before going back inside for an amazing First Dance.

Joe and Lauren are an absolutely fabulous couple and it was so much fun to be with them. Their guests were awesome and the day went without a hitch.

But for us, what made the day extra special was their vision of having their wedding romantic portraits in amongst the Forest. It was a wonderfully creative idea and we loved every minute.

We wish them all our very best wishes for their life together.
