Updated: Mar 1

If you’re looking for a luxurious country house wedding in Hampshire – you won’t be disappointed with the Four Seasons Hotel.


Hidden in the little village of Dogmersfield, this historic house wedding venue is set in 500 acres of sprawling meadows.  As a wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to visit this gorgeous location on more than one occasion.


If it's a wedding venue that’s elegant, charming, and quintessentially English you want– it might be the perfect choice for your big day, here’s why:



Why Four Seasons Hampshire is a Perfect Wedding Venue


From the incredible countryside views, the historic house and beautiful gardens – there’s nothing not to love about this location.


You’ve got five indoor rooms to choose from, each with its own unique style to fit your taste and wedding theme.


If something grand and elegant is your bag, the Ballroom features high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and breathtaking countryside views, making it a dream setting for larger weddings.


For a more intimate and cosy setting, Fox Hollow provides a charming atmosphere with warm lighting and beautiful woodwork, ideal for couples wanting a more personal and relaxed experience.


Outdoor lovers will adore the walled garden, a romantic and private space that’s perfect for both ceremonies and couple portraits, offering a secluded and picturesque backdrop.


Of course, you’ll have a gorgeous honeymoon suite, and there are exceptional rooms for your guests to choose from too. If you want a bit of pre- or post-wedding relaxation, there’s a tranquil spa to melt away in.


If you’re a foodie, you’ll be pleased to know that their ingredients are carefully sourced, including from local farms and orchards. Each menu is created by the in-house Four Seasons chefs who will cater to your tastes.


For some extra fun if you're looking to extend the celebrations over a few days, the hotel will even help you put together some countryside entertainment, including horse riding and fishing.

As a wedding photographer, one of the things I love about this venue is the variety of backdrops and settings to choose from for wedding photos.


The most recent wedding I had the pleasure of photographing at this venue was Charlotte and Bill’s outdoor wedding. Despite it being in October, the weather was absolutely glorious (after a horrendous downfall in the morning)!


This was a gorgeous ceremony in the walled garden.


With a grand entrance, a huge winding staircase, beautiful gardens, and simply elegant table settings – there are so many opportunities for the perfect shot. Outside, there are some lovely quiet corners ideal for you to take a breather from the crowd and have some couple moments captured. And of course, there’s plenty of space for the big group photos too.

Whether you're dreaming of a summer wedding with golden-hour portraits or a cosy winter wedding, this venue provides the perfect setting all year round.

Choosing the Right Photographer for Your Wedding


Having a wedding photographer who knows the venue already is ideal – we know where the great lighting is and where the best spots are, so we can just focus on you. Most importantly, the right photographer is going to be the one you get along with best.


I know how uncomfortable people can feel getting their photo taken, and that’s the last thing I want for you on your wedding day. That’s why I take the time to get to know you beforehand, so you feel completely relaxed and at ease in front of the camera with me.


So, if you’re having your wedding at the Four Seasons Hampshire or anywhere else in the area, don’t hesitate to contact me using the link below and we can start planning!

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer
(and a little bit of a photography geek!)
 
I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.  
I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

 

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.
 
Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

 

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?

  • Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?

  • Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.

  • Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?

  • How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.

  • What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?

  • How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?

  • Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?

  • How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
