Autumn Landscape in the UK

Dappled light in beech woodland, Rhinefield, New Forest.

15/08/17-Titchfield canal path and afternoon tea at Rhinefield House in the New Forest

We firstly walked along the Titchfield canal path today, where I took the 1st picture in this photoset of a Roe Deer which was skulking about in the grass with its youngster.

Wildlife Sightings Summary for the morning walk along the canal: A few of one of my favourite birds the Buzzard flying and calling, another of my favourite birds the Green Woodpecker, one of my favourite butterflies the Red Admiral, Green-veined White, Comma, Kestrel, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch, Roe Deer and I heard another of my favourite birds the Sedge Warbler.

In the afternoon my Mum treated me to afternoon tea at Rhinefield House hotel in the New Forest as my shared post from my Instagram early showed, near to Whitefield Moor and Blackwater where we go a lot. It was a different and brilliant experience for me, eating and drinking whilst looking over the pond pictured in the 2nd picture in this photoset from inside the building that resembles a bridge at the back in the sun watching many fish and a Southern Hawker dragonfly was relaxing and rewarding. We then had a nice walk around the houses’ beautiful grounds where I took the 3rd and 4th pictures in this photoset of the beautiful Rhinefield House and the sprinklers in another pond. It really is a lovely looking complex set to the backdrop of typical New Forest heath and woodland. It’s from that heath which we reach from the walk the other side of the road from Whitefield Moor car park where we see the house in the distance a lot so it was nice to see what was beyond those fences for a change. There were also a of birds seen on this walk around the groups, I especially enjoyed lots of Swallows sitting under the roof and flying around. This was an example of how I really enjoyed some good summer weather in my second week off of the spring and summer today and it complemented my New Forest open top bus tour journey yesterday well.

Last monday I met Chris & Lou, who found me on Gumtree and liked my style of wedding photography and chose to book me for their wedding at the end of last year. We were messaging on Facebook to try and decide on a location for their engagement photos / pre wedding shoot and they thought of Rhinefield in the New Forest. Having already photographed a bridal shoot at Rhinefield House last year, I thought this was great location with lots of photo opportunities and a nice forest backdrop.

I think they were quite surprised when we met as they thought I was really young until I told them I’m 26 next month! I guess I am blessed with youthful looks, however it can make me look as if I am not old enough to be doing what I do. Once we had established that I was not fresh out of college we proceeded to walk towards the bridge , taking lots of photos along the way.

Chris and Lou are an absolutely lovely couple and I feel privileged and excited to be photographing their wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed taking their engagement photos / pre wedding shots and hope they like their photos.

See you guys in a couple of weeks for your special day, it’s going to be amazing!
