Highfield Park- Your Dream Wedding Independent Wedding Venue in Hampshire? - A Photographers View

Updated: Feb 11

This summer, I had the pleasure of photographing my first wedding at Highfield Park, and I was bowled over by the beauty and atmosphere of the place. I have since been back this autumn for another shoot. Experiencing Highfield Park across different seasons has given me a fuller view of everything this venue offers, and it’s safe to say it’s one of those rare spots that truly shines year-round.


Coming from a wedding photographer’s perspective, I wanted to share some of my honest thoughts and observations with you. Highfield Park stands out as a wedding venue, and in this blog, I’ll give you an unbiased look at why I think it’s an incredible choice for your big day.


Highfield Park- An Outdoors Wedding in Hampshire.

On a good day there is nothing like the English countryside and the views here are just stunning, the pavilion structure is based on a lawn with far-reaching panoramic views to the right and with large trees behind.


The Folly is a stone-pillared structure and provides a simply stunning classic backdrop outdoors.


Highfield Park also offers several indoor rooms in case the English weather isn't on your side.


I took this ariel shot on a grey day in November after all the long grass had been cut back, in the summer the lawn leads to an area of long billowing grass that would make some fabulous golden hour images.

The Pavillion

The aisle walk for the ceremony at the pavilion is slightly longer than you'd get inside and as such it's fabulous for photos because you have plenty of time for lots of emotion to build and perfect images to be taken. Natasha & Lez had flowers decorating the pavilion at Highfield Park from Clementines Fruit & Veg.

Far Reaching Views

Gorgeous scenery that raps around the whole venue.

Bride and groom walk hand in hand under a tree in a scenic, grassy landscape, conveying a serene and romantic mood.

A safe space for kids to roam

The lovely manicured lawn offers a space for garden games and room for kids to roam in a safe visible space. I'm a Mum so that would be a real game-changer for me! Here's one I took of the flower girls running on the lawn.

Two girls in pink dresses joyfully run on a grassy field. Tall grass and trees form the background, evoking a sense of freedom and playfulness.

A place for car lovers!

I loved the front elevation for parking your wedding car without the clutter of dozens of other cars or an ugly car park. The frontage offers the grandeur required for something epic!

A gorgeous place for confetti!

This door and steps are also a gorgeous place for group photos and couples photos. I love the symmetry offered by the windows.

Indoors:

The bar room has really lovely light streaming in from a conservatory room to the side.

  • Stylish room with a dark sofa, striped stools, and art on a green wall. A lit lamp adds warmth. White door and geometric decor visible.

    Two men in suits hug joyfully in a warmly lit room with green walls. A woman smiles nearby. The mood is celebratory and welcoming.

Join me every month while I dive into sessions, show examples of my work in more detail and give advice to other aspiring boudoir photographers on my blog.  What can you hope to achieve reading this blog? 

​

An inside look into creative sessions

Each month I try to experiment with at least one session, these are discounted sessions for clients who are happy to share images and if you'd like to be considered for a creative session please do subscribe for updates. These creative sessions usually create amazingly different photographs unlike most boudoir photographers in the UK and I am always striving for a uniqueness that aligns with my clients personality and individuality. 

​

More in-depth full sessions 

I also show more in-depth shoots from parties, cake smashes and engagements among other on location and studio portrait sessions for those wishing to see a more in depth look at how their shoots may look and what I can achieve. 

​

Studio Boundaries

The blog is also where you may wish to read my studio boundaries for Boudoir sessions, these boundaries differ from studio to studio and I want to be upfront about these before you enquire incase you are looking to create images with a partner or video footage etc. 

​

Some tips and tricks I've picked up 

I love everything about photography, I definitely identify as a bit of a photography nerd! As I buy new kit and experiment I hope to pass on some of the lessons I learn to other photography nerds!
