These links are a resource for a number of wedding industry suppliers throughout the world. However, the links below are companies that I've worked directly with and I believe are worthy of a special mention.

Wedding Venues
De Vere Grand Harbour in Southampton Awesome hotel with professional but relaxed and friendly service. Overlooking the Solent and some great wedding photo opportunities near the old walls of Southampton or on the sea front.

New Place, Shirrel Heath This is fast becoming one of my favourite wedding venues around the Southampton area. Apart from awesome grounds a brand new function suite the staff are excellent … speak with Megan the superstar wedding co-ordinator.

Chilworth Manor, Southampton You realise this hotel has something special as soon as you start on the very long drive through the grounds. Wedding photography at Chilworth Manor leaves anyone spoilt for choice … the grounds, the back lawn or even the nature reserve and pond that it leads on to all make beautiul images. The full size chess table outside, croquet lawn, stone steps, and tree lined garden path are all good for photos also.

Beechfield House There are outstanding beautiful grounds at this country house hotel in Wiltshire. The staff are all friendly and the service exceptional.
