Wild woodland bridal shoot

The New Forest is one of my favourite places to photograph. The ancient woodland, soft evening light and winding forest paths create the perfect setting for the kind of weddings I'm most drawn to.

This recent bridal editorial was inspired by couples who love the outdoors and want their wedding photographs to feel natural, atmospheric and connected to the landscape around them.

With a beautiful flower crown, flowing veil and the forest as our backdrop, the focus was on creating relaxed, timeless images that felt romantic without being overly styled.

As a New Forest photographer, I'm particularly inspired by woodland celebrations, outdoor ceremonies and countryside weddings where nature plays a part in the story.

If you're planning a wedding in the New Forest, Hampshire or Dorset, I'd love to hear about your plans.
