With so many amazing wedding venues to choose from, here are some of the venues that I am an approved wedding photographer with or that I have photographed weddings in.
The Balmer Lawn Hotel, Lyndhurst Road, Brockenhurst, Hampshire.
Set in the heart of the New Forest The Balmer Lawn Hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships and the well appointed, 4 star hotel offers a choice of beautiful settings for your ceremony with rooms suitable for 10 to 100 guests. With the beautiful New Forest on its’ doorstep there are a whole range of locations you can use for your wedding photographs.

New Place, Shirrell Heath, Hampshire
As you arrive through the ornate wrought-iron gates, New Place never fails to impress. This grade I listed house is a true masterpiece of brickwork: a home that combines Tudor and Elizabethan eccentricities with subtle, modern touches. Fittingly, the home was commissioned as a wedding gift, designed and built by the famous British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens. He merged the interior of an existing 17th century mansion with his own signature style. The results are nothing short of spectacular. With both the Manor House, the Arden Suite and the stunning grounds your photo opportunities are endless.
No 68 Brasserie, 68 High Street, Fareham, Hampshire

A beautifully intimate wedding venue, Brasserie 68 are proud to offer a little bit of everything: laid back lunches to full blown weddings – whatever your needs, we’re confident we can really look after you. They have a modern menu with a wide range of carefully prepared dishes coupled with a civil wedding licence and are able to accommodate weddings from a simple service and meal to full evening receptions. A great garden and surrounding area make the perfect backdrop for your photographs.

Host your ceremony and reception in one of several elegant function rooms, pose for photos on the Queen Mary lawn and enjoy Elmers Court creative food and drink and luxurious accommodation.
Civil ceremonies and wedding receptions can be held in the hotel’s stunning Ballroom, which enjoys direct access to the Queen Mary lawn and terrace or out on the terrace, Hampshire’s only venue to offer outside wedding ceremonies
Lime Wood, Beaulieu Road, Lyndhurst, New Forest

Nestled in the New Forest close to Lyndhurst, the Lime Wood really is one of the New Forest’s treasures.
Lime Wood is luxury country house hotel with a difference. They have used Lime Wood’s classical structure as the basis of their design but have lovingly renovated it with a fresh approach, reviving its architecture and grounds. They have kept the spirit of its past, taken inspiration from its extraordinarily beautiful surroundings and added the odd contemporary twist to bring it to life.
You can book your wedding with Lime Wood on an exclusive use basis giving you and your guests full access to all of the hotel’s beautiful amenities. A dream location for your wedding and with so many delightfully photogenic locations, your treasured memories really will last a lifetime.
