This stunning shoot shows that you donʼt have to have a mega affair to make an impression. Hampshire photographer Abi Chadwick and wedding planner Aimee Dunne teamed up to set the tone, drawing inspiration from vintage black and white films and movie-star glamour. “We wanted to showcase an intimate wedding and how it can be achieved with style, elegance and wow factor regardless of the scale of your celebration,” Abi explains. New Forest venue Chewton Glen provided the perfect backdrop with its range of magical wedding spaces and amazing Treehouse suites; ideal for a romantic pre- or post-wedding stay. The focus of the shoot was not only elegance but also to create a warm, inviting feel which obviously worked as Freddie the basset hound was quite at home as a member of the bridal party! affair
