With the spring sun shining, the newlyweds looked radiant against the lush New Forest backdrop. The grounds of Careys Manor really are a photographer’s dream: gorgeous greenery, an impressive manor facade, and those classic English gardens.

Before heading back inside for the celebrations to continue, the open French windows provided easy access between the indoor reception and the scenic outdoors.
