We have been lucky to photograph weddings at some beautiful locations in Hampshire such as Esseborne Manor, Silchester House, Sherfield School  and Marwell Zoo near Basingstoke, Reading and Winchester as well as areas in the New Forest such as Stanwell House in Lymington.  This year we are looking forward to more weddings at Stanwell House as well as taking wedding photos at Beaulieu Abbey & The Whitely Ridge Hotel, Brockenhurst  in the heart of the New Forest as well as the South Lawn Hotel, Milford on Sea and also Oakley Hall near Basingstoke.
“Tom and Neil were brilliant from the first meeting, very re assuring and very professional in every little aspect. On the day they made everyone feel a million dollars and everyone commented as to how well they handled all 150 people for all the different pictures that were needed, the result since the day are so much more then both my new wife and I could have ever expected, I would recommend them to anyone and everybody time and again.” Brian & Amelia – wedding in Lymington
“We were very pleased with the whole of the service & professionalism provided on the day & leading up to the wedding. Tom as a person I couldn’t recommend highly enough. He adopts a very friendly & relaxed attitude to get the whole of the days events, from beginning to end.” Lee Hayward
“The photos look stunning we are all very impressed, you guys did an excellent job on the day and with all the photos! Thanks so much!!!” Tom & Vikki
“I’ve been meaning to write for days to say thank you for the DVD – we love the pictures and it is really inspiring us to try to think about music. Thank you again!” Sonia & Garth Wedding at Silchester House near Reading
“I can’t thank Tom and Neil enough. They went out of their way to make Drew and I feel relaxed and happy throughout our special day. Despite our time constraints at the church, Tom was still able to take a high number of good quality photographs. Tom gave thought to making our photo’s personal to us, by taking us to a memorable place once leaving church, not only giving us fantastic photo’s but 10 minutes to ourselves. Would recommend Idlehans every time, for service, quality, value and friendleness.” Amy Wright
“Tom and Neil captured our wedding in April 2008 and we were delighted with their service and photos they produced. They ran through what we wanted to do and went along with some of our ‘quirky’ choices for pictures, giving us advice and tips along the way. They took the time to visit the venue and take some test shots ready for the big day. On the day, they were like part of the family – they just blended in and were absolutely brilliant. As the ceremony was approaching, I went into a last minute panic to get ready in time and Tom was great in calming me down, pouring me a drink and co-ordinating the bridesmaids – above and beyond the call of duty!! The final product is a stunning album full of amazing photos which have captured the essence of our big day better than we ever could have hoped for. No hesitation in recommmending them to anyone. Outstanding!” Gemma Sacree wedding at Esseborne Manor
“Tom and Neil at Idlehans took my wedding pictures in June 2008 and I would recommend them unreservedly. They are both lovely people and the service they provided was far, far beyond my expectations. They were always efficient and went the extra mile to meet all of my requests and wishes (which were many!). They are the perfect wedding photographers…ultimate professionals yet discreet and they are both great with people so our guests were very happy. The pictures are absolutely superb, they captured the day perfectly. The album is stunning as well and of a fabulous quality! Again, I cannot recommend Idlehans enough – they absolutely exceeded all of my expectations.” Susie Marsh wedding at Sherfield School, Basingstoke.
“Tom and Neil did a fantastic job at our wedding. We are delighted with our set of pictures and they really captured the feel of the day. Our guests thought they were friends of ours as they fitted in so well (and my mum commented on how discreet they were so people didn’t get shy about having a camera about) Everyone was relaxed and they did a great job of co-ordinating/communicating with our guests. After our initial meeting with Tom and Neil we were confident that they would produce the kind of photos we’d had in mind. This was confirmed with a pre-meet at the venue for some trial shots. They were very happy to go along with our creativity as well as coming up with some great ideas to compliment ours and add to our day’s coverage. We were delighted with Idlehans from our initial meeting through to receiving our photos. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.” Stephanie & Paul Wyatt wedding at Tormarton, Wiltshire.
“Fantastic photos taken with skill and a relaxed, and personal style. Careful consultation, planning, liasing with vicar, checking out the venues all resulted in some great photo’s and added to the day for all concerned. I know my sister wished she had a photo’s this good on her wedding day!” Stuart Thomas wedding in Sway, The New Forest.
“Never having enjoyed my photo being taken the search to find our wedding photographers was a long one. However when we came across the Idlehans website and met with Tom we were so put at ease and impressed with the quality of their work we booked them up straight away.
On the day they were up at our hotel nice and early to set up and mingled quietly with our guests – so much so it took a while for some of our guests to realise they were the photographers for the day. Tom was also very handy at providing extra services of plaster provider! Tom and Neil got through our list of wanted photos and even managed to squeeze some extra group shots in at the last minute. Having the set up of Tom as the ‘main’ photographer and Neil as the ’secret’ photographer meant that some brilliant moments were captured on camera, without them having to be in the way or making people feel uncomfortable.
The results were stunning, and having never liked a photo of me and my husband after five years together we now have a whole album full! Our album is something that is of such wonderful quality we are still showing it off to everyone. The photos captured the feel and look of the day perfectly and it was carrried out with a professional and friendly manner by both Tom and Neil.” Charlie Purnell wedding at Esseborne Manor
“The customer service was fantastic. Tom travelled to my house personally to meet us and shows examples of Idlehans Wedding photography work and talk through what they do with no obligation to book. I found their work very impressive and their rates were very reasonable compared to similar companies. A few weeks before our wedding Tom met with us again to view the wedding locations and to do a pre-wedding photo shoot, to get us used to being in front of the camera, These pictures along with the wedding pictures are then accessible via the idlehans website to view. On the wedding Day they were prompt and very professional. Idlehans then were very helpful with putting together the wedding album and when I finally ordered the chosen layout of the album the turnaround was very quick and of great quality. In all I would say that you will receive a very personal and professional service with a small friendly team of talented photographers and finish with the best quality pictures..” Samantha Mawdsley wedding at Wootton St Lawrence, Basingstoke, Hampshire.
