The Rotherwick Patch


Every summer, we wait for one of our favourite moments of the year — sunflower season!


Last year, we found the perfect backdrop for our mini photo shoots at The Rotherwick Patch in Hampshire, and it quickly became one of our most loved sessions. There’s something truly special about photographing among rows of tall, golden sunflowers as the evening light turns soft and golden.


Why Choose a Sunflower Patch Photoshoot?


Sunflower fields radiate joy, warmth, and that carefree summer feeling. They create a naturally beautiful setting that lets real moments shine through.

Whether you’re: Updating family photos, Celebrating a relationship or engagement, Creating relaxed, natural couple portraits a sunflower photo shoot in Hampshire offers something truly unique.


The combination of golden blooms, open space, and soft evening light results in images that feel timeless, emotive, and full of life.


Sunflower fields naturally symbolise happiness, love, and togetherness.

Sunflower Mini Photo Shoots at The Rotherwick Patch


The Rotherwick Patch is a stunning rural location in Hampshire that comes alive during sunflower season. Because sunflowers bloom naturally, we never know the exact dates they’ll be at their best. We regularly check the field throughout early August and release last-minute session dates once the sunflowers are looking perfect. ✨ To avoid missing out, we recommend keeping a close eye on our social media and subscribing to our newsletter, where dates are announced first.


Some of the most beautiful sunflower photos happen when you forget about posing and simply enjoy the moment. We gently guide you with simple prompts that encourage movement and laughing, helping everyone feel relaxed - especially children. We will get the children to run through the fields and to their parents which they love!


Some of our favourite prompts include:


• Walking slowly through the sunflower rows, holding hands


• Gently brushing hands along the flowers


• Twirling dresses or letting children run ahead and running at parents


• Couples and families looking at each other rather than the camera. Movement makes photos feel more real, creating images that feel natural rather than staged.
