Autumn weddings have a special kind of magic, and this beautiful November celebration at Elmer’s Court in the New Forest was no exception. 🍂✨ With its rich autumn tones, cosy vibes, and heartfelt moments, this wedding was the perfect example of how to create a relaxed and joy-filled day that feels uniquely you.
As a New Forest wedding photographer, I’ve captured countless special days, and I know that the key to a truly memorable wedding is making it personal. So, whether you’re planning your own autumn celebration or simply love wedding inspiration, here are some top tips to make your day flow beautifully:
🌟 Embrace the Season
Autumn weddings bring a stunning natural backdrop of warm, golden hues, making for some of the most breath-taking wedding photos. Lean into the beauty of the season by incorporating seasonal flowers, rich earthy tones, and soft candlelit décor to enhance the romantic atmosphere. Think burnt oranges, deep reds, and rustic foliage to complement the natural beauty of Elmer’s Court and other stunning New Forest venues.
🌟 Focus on Connection
Your wedding day is about celebrating your love story with the people who matter most. The best photos happen when you’re truly in the moment, so laugh, cry, and hug your loved ones freely. Some of my favourite shots from this wedding weren’t posed – they were the spontaneous, emotion-filled moments that captured the essence of the day.
🌟 Make Time for Candid Moments
While traditional portraits have their place, some of the most cherished wedding photos are the unplanned ones – a stolen glance, a burst of laughter, or a quiet moment between the couple. These are the images that truly tell the story of your wedding day. I always encourage my couples to take a step back, breathe, and enjoy the moment – the best photos happen naturally.
🌟 Trust the Process
Let’s be real – British weather can be unpredictable, especially in November! But a little rain won’t ruin your day (in fact, it can add to the magic!). Some of the most beautiful, atmospheric wedding photos happen when couples embrace the elements. Whether it’s rain, wind, or a sudden burst of golden-hour light, I’ll be there to capture it all.
📍 Why Elmer’s Court is a Dream Wedding Venue
