A new addition to our Wedding venue folio page this summer, having had the pleasure of working as Gaddens Manor Wedding Photographers.
This New Forest Wedding Venue and private home, host a few select weddings every year. Built in the 1920’s, the property has a stunning south facing garden and is surrounded by beautiful forestry and nature.
Gaddens Manor is an ideal location to hold your wedding, benefitting from a stunning house, suitable for Bride and Groom wedding night accommodation, along with a few family or guests. The grounds can easily have a marquee erected, that will hold up to 100 guests seated, or alternatively a neighbouring plot will hold a marquee for up to 200 guests.
Within the grounds, there is an abundance of suitable locations providing diversity within natural portrait opportunities. Having first captured Stacey & Jeremy’s wedding celebration this summer, my job was so easy, with great backdrops being conveniently close to hand, meaning that great results were captured in a minimal amount of time.
Gaddens Manor Wedding Photographers
Gaddens Manor is licensed to conduct wedding ceremonies in both the house and the gardens. Many couples also use the venue after nearby church services, commencing their wedding reception within the grounds.
Being familiar with the venue, having worked there – it enables me to confidently rate this location well. Having seen and recorded a day from Bridal preparations through to evening reception – all the imagery derived has been spectacular. The interior is light and spacious, the grounds being varied and extensive – all lending themselves to great wedding photography.
If you are looking to hold your wedding in the New Forest area, and looking for a Hampshire wedding photographer it would be great to hear from you!

Brock & Sophie at The Tudor Barn, Burnham - midweek, smaller guest list, and the whole day flowing beautifully.
The standout? Sophie’s dad arriving in a pillar-box red classic American convertible and delivering her in absolute style. They’d already done the legal bit earlier, so a friend-led ceremony made everything feel personal, warm and completely them.
A proper celebration, done with calm confidence.

James & Carly at Knoll House, Studland - the most chilled coastal wedding day, with one unexpected moment right at the start.
A helicopter landed near the ceremony field… not a guest, just someone needing the bathroom - and the downdraft sent decor flying across the grass. Everyone laughed, rallied, and the day rolled on perfectly.
Friend-led ceremony, drinks on the lawns, speeches with a proper roast, then James & Carly handing out guest awards (some only the inner circle will ever understand). Short portrait session in the field, then leaving them with plenty in the tank for their big Las Vegas wedding a few weeks later.

Angel & Stephanie flew in from Texas with one mission - pull off the most romantic surprise proposal in the UK.
Stourhead was the dream location. Period drama perfection. Pride & Prejudice energy. And Stephanie, a full-on fan, had no idea what was coming.
Angel planned this properly - he reached out well ahead of the trip so we could hatch the whole thing: Temple of Apollo, exact spot, angles, where I’d be waiting, how we’d make it feel effortless.
Then reality tried to spoil it. Public transport to Stourhead is basically planes, trains and automobiles - and they arrived over an hour late. But somehow… that made it even sweeter. The anticipation. The nerves. The pressure.
And then Angel did it. Perfectly. Completely under the radar. Stephanie’s reaction said everything - and yes… she said YES.
Afterwards we wandered the lake for portraits and a few little video clips to lock the feeling in forever.
If you’re planning a UK proposal (and you want it captured quietly, beautifully, without ruining the surprise) drop us a message and tell us what you’re dreaming up.

Gemma & Nick - a proper Weymouth beach wedding on a scorching summer day.
Confetti storm outside St John’s Church with sunglasses on, a promenade walk to the Pavilion, then harbour portraits using the rowing boat taxi to get close to the lifeboats (Nick’s world) and a jetty that mattered to them both.
Then they handed guests tokens for the amusement rides beside the beach. Chaos, laughter, and the most perfect seaside energy.

Tian & Julius - a micro wedding at Winchester Registry Office on a scorching summer day, with their Golden Retriever right at the heart of it all.
They got the full classic Cadillac experience (two separate trips, properly enjoyed), kept the ceremony intimate with mostly close friends, then we grabbed confetti, a few fast portraits and headed for a quick detour to The Gurkha Museum for those bold architectural backdrops.
Small wedding. Big feeling. Exactly our kind of day.

Valentine’s Day weddings hit different - and Rhiannon & Andy’s was pure joy from the first minute.
They tied the knot at North Cadbury Court with their mountain dog Rafiki right in the mix, and the ceremony exit was everything - big smiles, a proper thumbs-up to their people, then walking back down the aisle together like, “Yep. We did that.”
But the moment that stole the whole room? The surprise Irish dance.
After the first ceilidh set, Rhiannon disappeared for a quick change… then re-entered to The Corrs - Toss the Feathers. The room was stunned. Then her sister Ciara joined her on the floor and the two of them absolutely owned it. Nobody saw it coming. Everyone felt it.
And right afterwards - the payoff. Their dad, in tears, grabbing his girls in a hug so raw the whole room went quiet for a second. That’s the stuff. That’s the memory.
Congrats Rhiannon & Andy - enjoy that honeymoon. Thanks for an epic wedding. You’re both stars.
