As a Beaulieu Abbey Wedding Photographer I’ve captured a number of amazing ceremonies within this stunning setting in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire.
Beaulieu estate stretches across seven thousand acres of historic heath & woodland and is a spectacular location for your wedding in Hampshire.
It’s historic Domus is one of only two buildings dating back to the original 13th century Beaulieu Abbey, which was previously one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in England.
Charming features can be found in abundance along with great architectural ruins, perfect backdrops for your wedding and for us to use as Hampshire Wedding Photographers.
The dedicated team at Beaulieu, understand the importance of high quality service and attention to detail. From their seasonal menus prepared by their head chef, through to the organisation and running of your wedding day.
Having many distinct areas within which to hold your wedding celebration, this is a very versatile venue. From the Abbey for the ceremony, and a choice of the Domus, Palace House, or a marquee.
Wedding breakfasts and drink receptions can also be held in the world famous National Motor Museum with its collection of over 250 vehicles from every motoring era.

Offering both classic and traditional elements, this venue is by no means ‘formal’ in celebrating. A great example of a couple adding their own twist to their Beaulieu Abbey wedding was David and Rebecca. You can take a look at their day with the link at the bottom of this page.
Both keen sailors, they chose to depart from the Abbey by boat. This really was a stunning day and one of my highlights of the year.

Golden hour, wild heathland, and the cutest Cavapoo sidekick — Charlotte & Ethan’s New Forest engagement shoot had all the right ingredients.
Their connection? Effortless. The light? Glorious. The moments? Real.
Throw in a surprise foal encounter and it was pure photo magic.
If you`re dreaming of your own shoot in the New Forest (or just want to bring your dog along!), this is your sign. 🌟

Trends fade. Moments don’t.
It’s easy to get swept up in the look of wedding photography — but the feel is what lasts. The quiet glance. The squeeze of a hand. The emotion that lingers long after the cake’s been cut.
We just dropped a blog that dives deep into the difference between style and substance — and why both matter.
✨ If you want wedding photos that look beautiful and feel like you, this one’s for you.

A simple ceremony and a beautiful image. Vaishi & Jason`s wedding at the Tudor House in Southampton a few weeks back.
The joy on Vaishi`s parents faces says it all!

They’re the storytellers, the baby-whisperers, the ones who’ve loved us the longest.
Including grandparents in your family shoot isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful.
We recently shared our thoughts on why these moments matter (and how to make them effortless) in a new post that’s all heart, no pressure.

Perfectly timed, completely unposed — and an absolute favourite of ours.
The best man lands a killer punchline. The bride, groom, maid of honour and best man? All mid-laugh, eyes wide, caught in that rare shared moment of total joy.
You don’t always get the whole top table aligned like this. But when it happens — and everyone’s dialled in — it’s storytelling gold.

“All-day coverage” — sounds like a dream, right?
But too often, it means 8 hours and done. Or “until the first dance”... if you`re lucky.
We do things differently.
At Smiling Tiger Studios, we tell the whole story — from final prep to the dance floor chaos, and all the emotion in between.
No clocks. No cut-offs. Just honest, story-led coverage that flows with your day.
