Hampshire garden wedding

“Pippa was literally the perfect photographer! We were lucky enough to have her photograph our wedding and she could not have done a better job. She was subtle yet managed to capture every single moment of day that we can look back on and cherish forever. She was so professional and kind and just a joy to work with. She came to do a practise shoot with us before the big day and made us feel so at ease so we felt completely relaxed with her on the day. She takes the most beautiful natural shots which is exactly what we wanted. I will be recommending her to EVERYONE. Thank you so much again Pippa for being part of our incredibly special day!”

WHERE to start with this phenomenal wedding?! Rose and Ollie have a wonderful love story which began during Covid and grew into something so strong that by the time they met for the first time it was as though they had known each other for years. The day started at a close friend’s stunning home, a home which also carries a lot of history for the family. Rose and her nearest and dearest were the epitome of calm all morning and in line with keeping the day as natural and fun as possible, this wedding was a delight to photograph.

The ceremony

This ceremony was held at Holy Trinity and St Andrew’s church in Ashe Warren. The church was beautifully decorated throughout with stunning flowers and a running symbolic theme of birds subtly interwoven into the detail. Guests were particularly moved by Rose’s sister Tara Maysey, founder of the Ukulele Project, and her captivating singing and ukulele playing. Rose and Ollie exited the church to the wonderful sounds of bagpipes played by Rose’s nephew and their utterly gorgeous dog Twix joined them on their confetti walk.

The reception

Rose and Ollie live in a stunning home tucked away in the Hamsphire countryside. It was an idyllic venue for a reception and they were blessed with perhaps the only warm sunny day in April! The saxophonist from the AWESOME band 29Fingers played during the reception drinks where champagne flowed and the kids ran around freely. We were also lucky enough to catch some beautiful light for some couple portraits before heading into the marquee for speeches and dinner.

Evening party

WHAT a party. I hope the photos speak for themselves… this band is hands down the best band I have ever seen at a wedding. The dance floor was never empty, or even half empty when they were playing. They got involved with the guests, sang absolute classics and both old and young couldn’t get enough of them! What a way to end a wonderful day. A privilege to photograph and one to remember for a long time!
