Ruaridh & Tom's Fun Farmhouse Home Wedding on The Isle of Wight

Ruaridh & Tom are two beautiful people who had a really wonderful wedding day that was so warm and full of laughter

Taking place at Tom’s family home at the bottom of one of the farms fields, this was a ceremony that included a hand fasting with multiple friends taking part in presenting the different ropes whilst also exchanging rings, and also celebrating Ruaridh’s Scottish heritage with the family drinking from a quaich

Ruaridh & Tom RAN back down the aisle for the confetti after the ceremony was over, and I honestly think my life flashed before my eyes I’ve never had to move so fast and take photos at the same time in my life!!

There were many excellent speeches before dinner, including a bit of a rude rhyming one from Ruaridh’s brother which had everybody in stitches, all rounded off with a lot of drink and Ceilidh dancing at the end of the night!

It was such a joy to see all of their lovely family and friends celebrating Ruaridh & Tom with so much laughter in the day and dancing in the evening. Thank you both for everything, Lana and I had such a brilliant time!

Erin & Michael's Fairytale Themed Wedding at East Afton Farmhouse

Ever wondered what a fairytale themed wedding East Afton Farmhouse ? Well wonder no more! And yes, it is as great as it sounds

Erin & Michael are such a sweet couple and had such a beautiful wedding day that was so personal to them, different unique and beautiful. They may not have been so lucky with the weather through the day, but my goodness they got the most beautiful sunset, golden hour photos were an absolute blast!

I very much enjoyed working with Henry Cinematics Weddings, who is so much fun to be around and a great videographer, and as always it was lovely to be back at East Afton again!
There were great speeches all round with lots of tears taking place throughout. Michael’s Dad’s speech included the line “To love and to be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” which I thought was so gorgeous, and also the Japanese concept of oranges finding your other half, and even compared marriage to Mario kart which I think was a first for me!

Ther was so much dancing and fun in the evening plus Erin’s Mum’s beautiful little dog Wilma who was so sweet and soft and who just wanted to be friends with everyone, what more could you want from an evening do?

Thank you both for asking me to photograph your wedding!

Hannah & Jack's Autumnal Wedding at Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight

Hannah & Jack's Autumnal Wedding at Carisbrooke Castle - Holly Cade - Alternative Candid Documentary Wedding & Portrait Photographer. Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, Hampshire, the South Coast of England, and UK
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 ♥️

Angela & Neil's Festival Themed Summer Wedding at East Afton farmhouse

1/3/2026

Angela Neil Festival Themed Wedding East Afton Farmhouse - Holly Cade - Alternative Candid Documentary Wedding & Portrait Photographer. Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, Hampshire, the South Coast of England, and UK
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 ♥️

Lucy & Joshua's Wedding at The Apple Farm, Isle of Wight

Lucy & Joshua's Wedding at The Apple Farm, Isle of Wight - Holly Cade - Alternative Candid Documentary Wedding & Portrait Photographer. Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, Hampshire, the South Coast of England, and UK
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 ♥️

Kelly & Shaun's Rainy and Beautiful Wedding at Ryde Golf Glub

Kelly & Shaun's Rainy and Beautiful Isle of Wight Wedding - Holly Cade - Alternative Candid Documentary Wedding & Portrait Photographer. Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, Hampshire, the South Coast of England, and UK
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! ♥️

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! ♥️
