Bride outside Rookesbury Park.

Fine art styled shoot at Rookesbury Park

Rookesbury Park is a hidden gem of a wedding venue – ideal if you’re after the stately home ambience – as I discovered when I photographed this fine-art styled shoot I photographed in February.

Set on a gentle hill above the rolling acres of the Meon Valley in Hampshire, the main house at Rookesbury Park is celebrating its bicentenary this year. With their high windows and simple yet elegant furnishings, its staterooms are filled with light and present the ideal setting for your ceremony.

Inspired by the hit Netflix costume drama Bridgerton, our heroine arrives at this beautiful stately home in a vintage Bentley to admire all the preparations being made for her wedding…

Enjoy the photos – and if you’re planning your wedding, explore all that Rookesbury Park, myself and all the other suppliers who took part in this styled shoot have to offer via the links beneath.
