Newtown House Hotel Wedding

This wedding over on Hayling Island at Newtown House Hotel was an absolute blast from start to finish. Stacey and Scott booked my essentials package but honestly we crammed in so much it felt like a full day. I did not stop smiling the whole time I was there.

“Emma captured our day beautifully!”

Newtown House Hotel: A Hidden Gem on Hayling Island

If you haven’t heard of Newtown House Hotel you really should have. This lovely 18th century converted farmhouse hotel on Hayling Island is one of those venues that completely surprises you when you arrive. With its old ships beams, oak panelling and stone fireplaces alongside quality modern furnishings it has bags of character and warmth. And the staff are some of the loveliest I have ever worked with at a wedding venue. They truly go above and beyond for their couples and it shows in every single detail of the day.

The Ceremony

Stacey looked like an absolute princess. Her dress was beautiful and Scott scrubbed up pretty well too 😄 The ceremony had one of my favourite touches I have ever seen, the rings were hidden under a random guest’s chair before the ceremony began. And the guest who turned out to have the honour of delivering the rings? Scott’s grandad. What could have been a fun gimmick turned into one of the loveliest moments of the day. Perfect really.
Golden Hour at Newtown House Hotel
We were incredibly lucky with the weather. That beautiful September golden light was absolutely perfect for family formals and couples portraits in the hotel grounds. The gardens are a lovely backdrop and the light on this particular September afternoon was just extraordinary. One of those evenings where everything falls perfectly into place.

The Party

Stacey and Scott’s guests were just as entertaining as the couple themselves and I was gutted to leave because the party was only just getting started. Before I headed off I managed to catch the surprise singing waiters who had been floating around all day winding everyone up, such a brilliant touch and the perfect way to get the celebrations properly going.
I have absolutely no doubt there were a few sore heads the next morning 😂

What Stacey & Scott Said

“Emma captured our day beautifully! We LOVED looking at our pictures today! She was great at capturing all the emotions and laughter, natural pictures are always best! Emma was easy going, fun and made taking portrait photos relaxing as me and my husband said we wasn’t looking forward to that part but Emma made it fun. Thanks Emma!”

Scott And The Speeches

Scott got a bit emotional more than once during the speeches, which I love. Give me a groom welling up over a perfectly delivered joke any day of the week.
