A Day of Sparkle and Splendour: String Quartet Photoshoot at Rhinefield House

We recently had the incredible honour of being invited to Rhinefield House Hotel for an exclusive photoshoot. Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, this Tudor-cum-Gothic manor provided the most breathtaking backdrop for a day we won't soon forget.

The purpose of our visit? To be featured in the prestigious Handpicked Hotels Magazine.

The Handpicked Experience

For those who haven’t had the pleasure of leafing through it, the Handpicked Hotels Magazine is a high-end lifestyle publication. It showcases the very best of British hospitality, from fine dining and wellness to the unique heritage of their various properties across the UK and the Channel Islands. Being included in its pages is a wonderful milestone for us at TBQ.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Susie from Handpicked, whose vision for the feature was spot on. To bring that vision to life, we collaborated with the immensely talented photographer Giles Christopher. His eye for detail and ability to capture the perfect light made the entire process feel effortless.

From Twilight Woods to Formal Fountains

Our wardrobe for the day was all about contrast and celebration. We debuted our new sparkly dresses, which shimmered beautifully against the historic architecture, but we also opted for all-black ensembles for a sleek, sophisticated look that felt right at home in such a grand setting.

The shoot took us on a journey through the grounds:

• Twilight Woodland Walks: We headed into the forest as the light began to fade. There is something truly magical about the New Forest at dusk, and Giles captured some atmospheric shots amongst the ancient trees.

• The Fountains: Moving back towards the main house, we posed by the iconic fountains. The water and the meticulously manicured gardens added a sense of timeless elegance to the photos.

Capturing the Magic

We had an amazing time working with such a professional team in one of the most beautiful locations in Hampshire. The energy on set was fantastic, and we think that joy really shines through in the final images.

We are so excited to finally share these pictures with you! Seeing the finished result in the Handpicked Hotels Magazine is a proud moment for us, and we hope you enjoy a little glimpse behind the scenes of our day at Rhinefield House.
