Wedding Photography at Beechdown

Wedding Photography at Beechdown in Basingstoke

It was great to spend a few hours with Steve and Maria to capture their wedding photography at Beechdown in Basingstoke. We met outside Goldings, the Basingstoke Register Office, for a few photos before the wedding ceremony. Goldings is a very attractive Georgian building which was once the home of Thomas Burberry, founder of the famous international fashion business. Situated right next to the Memorial Park, it makes a very photogenic venue for register office weddings.

The wedding was in the Carnarvon Room, which is the smaller of the two ceremonies rooms in the Basingstoke Registration Office. After confetti and some group photos, the guests moved on to the reception venue. We made use of the park next door for some photos of the happy couple before joining everyone else at Beechdown for the reception.

Here is a very small selection of the photos from this wedding at Basingstoke Register Office and Beechdown.

Wedding Photography at Basingstoke Registry Office

Wedding Photography at the Basingstoke Registry Office

I have been capturing wedding photography at Basingstoke Registry Office for almost 20 years. One of my most popular wedding photography packages is for 2 hours on a week day. This the perfect amount of time to capture some photos before, during and after the wedding ceremony.

Starting about 45 minutes before the ceremony starts, I’ll get photos of the couple individually as they arrive. This would usually include photos with family, bridesmaids and best man. Ceremonies at the Basingstoke Registry Office typically take no longer than half an hour. This leaves plenty of time for confetti and group photos outside the attractive register office building. We’ll finish with a walk in the Memorial Park next door for some romantic photos of the happy couple.

Couples can expect to receive at least 150 photos a few days after the wedding. Here is a very small selection of photos from a midweek wedding at Basingstoke Registry Office.

Wedding Photography at The Wellington Arms in Hampshire

Wedding Photography at The Wellington Arms in Stratfield Turgis

Nestled perfectly between Basingstoke and Reading, Stratfield Turgis is home to one of my favorite local gems: The Wellington Arms. I had the pleasure of documenting Vanessa and Tom’s beautiful summer wedding here. The weather was absolutely perfect – warm, sunny, and with barely a cloud in the sky – providing the ultimate backdrop for wedding photography at The Wellington Arms.

One of the standout features of this venue is its ability to host stunning outdoor ceremonies. This couple chose to say their vows under the open-sided barn located in the Rose Garden. As a photographer, this setting is a dream. The open sides of the barn provide a beautiful architectural frame while allowing plenty of natural, directional light to illuminate the couple. The roses were in full bloom, adding a pop of color and a romantic scent to the air as the guests watched the “I dos” in the sunshine.

After the ceremony and a few group photos in the garden, we took advantage of the glorious weather. Just a short stroll along Green Lane, next to the venue, we found a quiet path in the surrounding countryside. Away from the hustle and bustle of the reception, the bride and groom enjoyed a few quiet moments together. The tall grasses and overhanging trees provided that soft, dappled light that every wedding photographer craves. These “just married” portraits with beautiful natural backdrops are often the ones couples treasure most, capturing the peace and excitement of the day.

The party then moved inside to the Waterloo Suite for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. This space is a fantastic canvas for wedding decor; it’s bright, modern, and spacious enough to transition from an elegant meal to a high-energy dance floor.

Here is a small selection of the photos from a memorable days work at The Wellington Arms.

Wedding Photography at Audleys Wood

Wedding Photography Audleys Wood and Basingstoke Register Office

It was my pleasure to spend a few hours with Juliette and Richard to capture their intimate wedding photography at Audleys Wood. This was a micro wedding with just a handful of family members and close friends as guests. After the ceremony at Basingstoke Register office, I joined them at Audleys Wood to capture a few portraits and candid moments around the grounds and inside the hotel.

Audleys Wood Hotel is a historic Hampshire landmark. A former Victorian country house, with Gothic Renaissance architecture, it provides a backdrop that feels both grand and incredibly cozy. For couples looking for an intimate wedding venue in Basingstoke, it offers the perfect balance of luxury and warmth. Whether it’s the rich wood paneling of the interior rooms or the sweeping views of the surrounding woodlands, every corner of the estate whispers romance.

When photographing weddings at Audleys Wood, I love utilizing the hidden nooks of the garden. It allows the couple a few moments of privacy away from their guests, resulting in the most authentic, relaxed portraits.

Here is a small selection of photos from this intimate wedding at Basingstoke Register Office and Audleys Wood Hotel.

Wedding Photography at Barton’s Mill in Basingstoke

Wedding Photography at Barton’s Mill

It was great to spend the day with Shannon and Curtis to do their wedding photography at Barton’s Mill. This old converted mill by the River Loddon on the edge of Basingstoke is an attractive and relaxing venue for wedding photography. This was a fun day with lots of laughter and a very happy couple.

Here is a small selection of photos from a full day of wedding photography at Barton’s Mill.
