What a wonderful wedding! I enjoyed it, I really did. The day began really early (as usual 😉). I met Caroline at her mum's in Southampton. She was nervous but really happy. We started with the 'getting ready' pictures while her best friend was doing her hair. I spend some time meeting her parents, lovely people...
Nicholas was preparing everything at the venue so when I had all the pictures that I need I headed to the New Forest. Yes, the venue is in the New Forest, in Lymington. A beautiful countryside venue: Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel & Resort, with a huge beautiful garden.
When I arrived I took some detail pictures of all the DIY their friends made and the setting itself. Then, Caroline arrived with her parents, siblings and bridesmaids so we headed to the room where she was going to put her wedding dress on and the last touches. The day was really hot. The weather was fantastic, with a sunny and beautiful day. We had fun in that room, people were really happy.
The ceremony was so charming... small, intimate and very romantic. But I think it would be better if you discover it for yourself so, take a look at the pictures and enjoy! And remember, feel free to comment below!
But before I'm gonna share with you the lovely and kind words they had with me. Thanks a lot guys!
“Manu is an amazing artist. He captured all the special moments of our wedding day and engagement session. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. Very professional and amazing pictures. Communication is excellent and we were beyond satisfied with the service and pictures that Manu delivered. If you want a photographer for your special day or any other occasion I cannot recommend a more talented artist. Thank you Manu you are a star”

A VINEYARD, A TIPI AND A LOT OF LOVE… Wilhelmina and Megan first met at college and quickly became the best of friends. Through their friendship, they grew closer and found themselves having feelings of more than friendship towards each other. They spent a couple of years keeping this private but they both knew their feelings were
GEMMA + CRAIG, THE WEDDING AT FROYLE PARK, HAMPSHIRE - LAST WEDDING OF 2018
We did say goodbye to 2018 and what better way than celebrating a wedding! And this one was even more special, because Gemma & Craig decided to get married on the 29th of December because they had their first date on the same date in 2014… cute, right?!
This time I was honoured to photograph a truly beautiful wedding at one of my all time favourite wedding venues in Hampshire: The Elvetham, located between Fleet and Hartley Wintney. If you’ve been there before I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Those huge gardens and the main house with multiple gorgeous rooms full of character… without a doubt The Elvetham is the perfect wedding venue.
ROMANTIC ESCAPE DURING SUNSET TO A BEAUTIFUL FOREST NEAR MARLBOROUGH. Wilhelmina and Megan used to have walks together in Savernake Forest and the beginning of their relationship and they decided to choose that particular location for their engagement photos…
THIS WAS NOT A STAR WARS 😅 THEMED WEDDING
Today I bring you another beautiful love story. This time is Hannah & Sam's turn, who got married at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire. They had a winter wedding in one of the most beautiful wedding venues I've ever been to. And even this time, the wedding had a twist...
Have you wondered what you could do in order to get the best wedding photos? You may think that hiring a good wedding photographer would be enough and you're right, a good wedding photographer would point their finger at something wrong just at a glance... but actually, you could make some simple decisions to make your wedding photos look even better…
This is one of the main questions I usually have from my couples? Would 6 hours be enough? maybe 8? I'm gonna try to shed some light to try to help you decide which coverage will be perfect to tell your LOVE story...
Collaborating with any publication is always such a privilege... however when you see your work in a magazine such as Brides Magazine I always find myself speechless. If you do know me, you would know that all I want to do is to create something very special for them. Something they hang on their walls with pride, something that they didn't expect. I do not think much about where my work is gonna end up except for their stunning Queensberry Albums. But sometimes, your work gets to places you couldn't imagine.
What can I say?! Another stunning couple and another stunning location. This time, we woke up early... and I mean early, around 4 am to witness a stunning sunrise in Windsor Great Park, where Marissa & Ash had lots of dates in the past and I can see why...
