On a very sunny day in August (on my birthday in fact), Shannen and Andy after over a decade together got married at the lush Lulworth Castle in Dorset 🏰
​
This day was action packed and so much fun! Shannen & Andy decided to put their rings under two random seats and so had two surprise ring bearers, which I LOVED.

Their gorgeous sausage dog Heidi crashed the wedding and had so much fun meeting guests and getting her photos taken 😍

The speeches included stories that included an accidental £10,000 tip, a life long fear of ET (which I share) and continuing shouts of “SHORNA!”-brilliant! 

I will always remember the evening dancing being kicked off with dancing from all the guests making an entrance to the dance floor inspired by Jim and Pam’s wedding in the Office, and a sister act medley sung by Shannen before the firework display in the evening!
​
Thank you Shannen & Andy for everything Lana and I had a great time! ♥️

After a whopping 10 years together Annemarie & Jack got married at Kingston Manor 🍾

Whilst grey clouds lingered all day we were very lucky with the weather and got no rain all day 🙌

There was a slight heart stopping moment when the wedding rings got dropped at the church just before Annemarie & Jack were going to exchange them 😅 luckily there are no grates at that church!

We took a couple of detours along the Milly Road on our way back to the reception to get some lush couples photos along one of the most beautiful parts of the whole island in my opinion, and we also managed to run into a dinosaur too! So Isle of Wight 😆

Jack’s Aunt made the wedding cake, who has a history of making family members wedding cakes and I can see why! Annemarie’s something borrowed was silk flowers from Annemarie’s Mum’s wedding bouquet that was sewn into her dress.

Jack was forced (but didn’t need that much forcing 👀) to get up and sing a Kelly Clarkson song during the best men’s speeches, and the dance floor was PACKED with at one point I think every single guest on it, love it!
​
Thank you both for asking Lana and I to photograph your beautiful day! ♥️

Okay bragging over!
Soz. Thank you!! 

Oh it it always such a pleasure to spend an hour with this lovely family! 🥳

This is our 3rd shoot together (second one is blogged here), when they come and visit the Isle of Wight they will try and book me for a shoot, and it was so lovely to have a walk along a very windy Compton Beach, catching up and chatting about life in general, talking about and hunting for fossils a few times too (perfect place on Compton Beach to do that right?!)

Thank you all 4 of you for booking me again! It's always such a jot to work with you all ♥️

Sam & Meg are the fourth couple of a friendship group that I’ve been the wedding photographer for since 2018. I even remember at Amanda & Alex’s wedding (the second wedding in the group 🤣) Meg telling me during the morning Bridal prep “when I get married, I’m having you as the Photographer”, and she meant it – yay!

It’s amazing how all four of those wedding days were so different, and yet all the same in terms of the love and the laidback-ness of them all. Meg & Sam’s wedding was definitely the most pink of them all 😆 and definitely the only one that had a rollercoaster on the wedding cake!
Stephen Sutcliffe the Vicar aka. Steve is still a complete legend. There was lots of singing in Carisbrooke Church, including from Sam’s brother who sang brilliantly and played the guitar too. Also confetti afterward was 👌

Because Meg loves the colour pink Commodores House was the perfect place for the reception, arriving by boat to the reception of course, this is Commodores House after all! There were so many heartfelt and great speeches at dinner and Meg even made sure that there was an assortment of her favourite teas to be put out after dinner.

Thank you both for asking and trusting Lana and I to photograph your day, it was such an honour ♥️

After 5 years together Fluke & Juliana got engaged, and celebrated with a little photoshoot with yours truly when they had a trip to the Isle of Wight 💍
​
Due to the crazy weather at the beginning of September we had to postpone their shoot THREE times, and we finally managed to get a lovely sunny evening just before they got the boat home! Thank you both ♥️

Thank you so much George & Dawa (and thank you to the bird that flew by at the perfect time too!) ♥️

2025 was my busiest year ever! 🥳🥳🥳 

I shot 24 weddings and 21 other photo shoots, 60,868 edited photos in the catalogue, 197,079 steps taken on wedding days, and I did my usual celebration later on in the evening after my last wedding was over of chilling in 1 hot and very bubbly bath (eating a sweet treat at the same time). 

I also celebrated my little photography business turning 12 years old, and it's started to dawn on me the fact that in 2026 my business will officially become a teenager, still can't get my head round that one...

​A massive thank you so much to all my couples, families and clients, you really are the bloody best! ♥️  I know people don’t have to work with me and the fact they do and that they trust me to document their wedding day and important milestones and memories is not something I ever take for granted.

In this blog post is a selection of "10 frames" from 2025 weddings, part of a series I do every year on my Facebook and Instagram, where every Monday from the beginning of December each year, I share 10 photos from a wedding I've photographed that year, and here is 2025's collection altogether - PLEASE ENJOY! 😎
