Beth & Emily were married on a glorious day in late August. Having photographed their pre-wedding party the evening before, we were excited for their big day.
Keira and Sam were married in May 2021. They were unworried about the current Covid-19 restrictions as they had always planned a small, intimate wedding. The couple, as well as all of their family and friends, live in Worthing, but had chosen the Island for their wedding as it was where Sam had proposed.
Michael & Kaori were married during the ‘fifteen only’ phase of Covid weddings. They had their ceremony privately at the Isle of Wight registry office and celebrated with family at The Hambrough Hotel in Ventnor.
Tim and Amy always planned two weddings. A tiny registry office ceremony, with a huge party and humanist ceremony the next day. Therefore, when Covid-19 disrupted their plans for wedding two, wedding one was still a go!

Fortunately, Pam & Jon’s wedding was able to go ahead with a maximum of 30 people in attendance.

Although family and guests were aware of the potential of lockdown (I remember a family member hoping they wouldn’t be locked down on the Isle of Wight) everyone at the wedding had a completely wonderful time.
