A stunning wedding in the heart of the New Forest for Paul and Gift. The forest always looks incredible this time of year, it was a real pleasure to be able to photograph this special day.
and the wedding was so elegantly put together with a subtle coastal theme running throughout including the bride's train (the largest I've photographed) which resembled a sculpted sea shell - absolutely perfect for the other nautical details of the day.
Here's a look into their day...
