Hannah and I have been friends ever since we started middle school, a very long time ago now! Life as it often does took us in different directions, and one day I got a message to ask if I’d photograph Hannah & Jack’s wedding, and I was so excited!

Hannah worked for a long time at Carisbrooke Castle looking after the donkeys, and so managed to get to use the church in the grounds, and from what I’ve heard from multiple people now is that’s not an easy thing to do! I believe it’s been about 10 years since the last wedding in there? AND OH MY! It’s so beautiful! 🏰

As always it was a joy to see my favourite Vicar of all time Stephen Sutcliffe, who seemed to be in an even more joyful mood than usual, something I didn’t think was possible actually 🤣 the man is a legend and the service was fab as always!

Hannah had myrtle in her bouquet from Osbourne House and after we’d gone off for couples photos in Hannah’s favourite spots around the grounds with their beautiful daughter Mallory, we even got to meet up with Juno the Donkey for a few snaps.

It is always an honour and a privilege to photograph someone’s wedding, it is such a responsibility and a joy, but photographing Hannah & Jack’s wedding felt very special 🥲 They are such a great match and I am so happy for you both and truly honoured that I got to photograph your wedding – THANK YOU ♥️

Every time I think of Angela & Neil’s wedding, the first thing I honestly think about is how much I was smiling that day, a total blast from start to finish!

Angela & Neil had a festival themed wedding, and the attention to detail really was fantastic, with named areas of East Afton Farmhouse named after actual festivals, welly boots with flowers in, the aisle was grass, real festival flags put up all around the site, and they even made everyone wrist bands and lanyards 🥹 (I still have mine put up in my office along with other wedding mementos and thank you cards over the years).

The weather even played its part on the day and it was sunshine and blue skies throughout the day as a proper summer festival should be (no sign of rain once)! With the hum of the base from the music along with the beautiful sunshine, it really gave you that festival glow ☀️

Angela & Neil’s love story is so beautiful, friends for over 30 years, losing touch and going through their own twists and turns of life, before finally reuniting falling in love and getting married.

This wedding was such a joyful celebration of music and fun and I will always remember that day very fondly 🙌 Congratulations you two, your wedding was EPIC ♥️

Here is two of the sweetest people getting married on a BEAUTIFUL sunny day in May, and if the calculations off the top of my head are correct, I hadn’t at this point been to The Apple Farm since 2017?! 🍏 
 
Before that though the morning bridal prep included a very unhappy Bonnie the dog not understanding why she couldn’t sit on Lucy’s wedding dress, an unfortunate incident with Lucy’s dad’s flipflop and bird poo, and a wonderful Bridesmaid doing her duty and bringing Lucy her morning fix of Cookie Crisp and milk for breakfast!
 
The ceremony was beautiful with the Bride and Grooms own written vows, and day included lots of happy tears, lawn games, evening sparklers and general chilled lovely-ness, what more could a wedding photographer ask for? 👏
 
Thank you so much Lucy & Joshua for being an absolute treat and joy to work with, I wish you both so much happiness in your married life together ♥️

This lovely pair had some bad luck on their wedding day, including the weather being unfortunately horrid (plus it was the only day that week that it rained!). BUT Kelly & Shaun did not let it get to them one bit, they rolled with it and had a brilliant day anyway full of so much laughter and love! 🎉
 
The rain stopped long enough for us to do confetti and group photos outside the church after the service, so literally every cloud has a silver lining ei? Plus the confetti was handmade, I always love it when it’s made by the couple or the wedding party!
 
Big shout outs go to their lovely vicar David, Gemma Louise Bridal Hair and Hairdressing who was such a kind helping hand to everyone, and to Kelly’s lovely mum who made their wedding cake 🙌
 
After the first dance and evening do kicked off, Kelly & Shaun wanted to get fun photos of them tucking into the first pizza of the evening by So Much Dough, which I can also confirm was very tasty and fitted brilliantly with their Italian themed wedding 🍕
 
Thank you both so much for asking me to be part of your great wedding! ♥️

​We went to Borthwood Copse for James & Emma’s engagement shoot, and not forgetting their pooch Maisy of course 🐶

Lots of trees, logs, bluebells and walking - Fabulous!

Onto the wedding, which was a gorgeous sunny Saturday at the end of September. James & Emma had a warm & relaxed small wedding at Ventnor Botanic Garden, with 12 guests and 4 dogs! 🥰 Whisky, Lola, Holly (the dog not me!) and Maisy were even put down on the list of ‘group photos’ to have their own group photo, which of course I loved!
 
James & Emma had set up the night before which included putting up all the fairy lights, and in the evening as it got dark they went down to sit with their dog Maisy and admire their handy-work, so cute!
 
Emma forgot to bring her bouquet with her for the ceremony and her lovely Mum went back to the accommodation to get it after the ceremony for the photos 😂 Emma’s Mum also made all the bunting that was put around the restaurant for dinner.
 
Also I had to include a photo of their wedding rings made by Ashcroft Jewellery Design - HOW COOL ARE THEY?!
 
Maybe because James & Emma are such lovely people with great guests, and maybe because it was such a small wedding, I felt so honoured to be there and to capture their wedding, thank you both it was a joy! ♥️

Beth & Jack had a beautiful wedding which felt very intimate at her parents place - Whitwell Station Holiday Homes! 🚂 
​
After Beth & Jack did their first look (closely monitored by Lola the dog) we went to Colwell Bay for photos, before going back to get the two of them hitched! Lola was also the ring bearer and did a flawless job 🐶
 
The day was sunny and very windy indeed, but I think the wind was needed to keep those rain clouds away, so I’m all for that!
 
Before the speeches Jack did a quiz for all the guests asking questions about his and Beth’s relationship, the winner getting a bottle of wine made at Whitwell Station. A lot of laughs and competitiveness took place during this, such a great personal touch.
 
Thank you both so much for asking me to photograph your day ♥️

​If you need proof that planting a Cumberland sausage the night before your wedding will give you great weather, and that having a wedding full of love and fun is totally gorgeous, then check out Sophie & Toms wedding 🎉



Their engagement shoot was such a joy to do, and we all had such a bloody laugh, and chatted about so many different things when we went to Ventnor Downs and Compton Beach for photos. 

Lana started her day with the lads in Ventnor at I started my day at East Afton Farmhouse.
 
Any wedding with TONS of colourful flowers and Lord of the Rings quotes mentioned multiple times throughout the day, is a brilliant day in my book!
​
On a video call a few years back, Sophie was ordered by her Nana to go out and find herself a boyfriend 😂 and lucky for Sophie & Tom that lead them to finding each other (she’s throwing confetti in a photo further down!)
 
After the ceremony before we went back to East Afton we went to Compton Bay for photos as planned which was WINDY AF. I think the windiest I’ve ever witnessed there, so we did not spend more than 5 minutes there before leaving for East Afton in one piece!
 
Thank you both for asking us to photograph your joyful and beautiful wedding day ♥️
