On their wedding day, Jenna had her bridal preparations at a property within the gardens themselves. Her family and bridal party gathered around and we took photos as they walked past greenhouses and through tunnels of overhanging plants. The ceremony took place in a pagoda in the New Zealand Garden.

Stephen and Julian’s wedding followed an unusual timeline which suited the day perfectly. The couple walked down to Appuldurcombe House from their adjoining accommodation together. They were greeted their guests at a drinks reception on the lawn. Their wedding breakfast was served in the main hall before their ceremony took place.

Emma & Gareth had their legal ceremony quietly before their big day with just close family in attendance. This allowed them to hold their wedding in a field adjoining the beautiful Wolverton Manor. The ceremony was conducted by Jenni from Island Celebrants and took place under a corn-flower blue sky.

On their wedding day, Kylie and her wedding party got ready in an apartment adjoining Appuldurcombe House. Hair and make-up was provided by Lynsey-Marie with assistance from Jo Lofthouse. Mirroring her personality, Kylie wore a dress from Forget Me Not Designs, paired with a pair of incredible Irregular Choice shoes and carried a unique non-floral bouquet, created by Maddison Rocks.

Tom and Roshan had really strong ideas about what they wanted for their wedding. When faced with the logistical difficulties caused by the distance between their chosen venues, they hired a gorgeous vintage double decker bus. ‘The Old Girl’ carried them and their guests between the two. Both Tom and Roshan got ready at East Afton Farmhouse.

With Christmas came the day that Katie and Ashley had been waiting for. Their wedding took place at The Royal Esplanade Hotel in Ryde between Christmas and New Year. The hotel was adorned with Christmas trees, colours and sparkles as the bride walked down the aisle. Father Christmas even made an appearance!

Laura and Edd were married in Greece and then had a ceremony and party back in the UK. The ceremony was officiated by a relative and took place at Rookley Country Park. It was a hot Summer day and the cornflower blue skies complemented the colour scheme perfectly.

I met Gillian and David for their pre-wedding shoot at the very Southern tip of the Isle of Wight. Castle Haven is a tiny cove in Niton and a short walk away, St Catherine’s Lighthouse stands on the cliff edge. We met first in a sheltered spot, joined by their young son.

Emma and Ton met several years ago whilst surfing at Compton Bay. Compton is a favourite amongst Isle of Wight surfers and is part of an expanse of sandy beaches that stretch along the entire South West Coast of the Island.

Matt & Dan chose to get married at East Dene, a beautiful Georgian manor house, in Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight. It was a beautiful spring day and light flowed into the ceremony room through the conservatory. The ceremony was romantic and emotional, with readings from close friends and family.
