Ellie & Jake

Ventnor Botanic Garden, Isle of Wight

Ellie and Jake were the first couple to book us to photograph a 2025 wedding, over two years before their big day. This level of care and organisation accurately reflected the attention they paid to the entire process. From the start, it was clear that the deep love they had for each other would permeate our experience together.

Their wedding day dawned damp and grey, much like many English summer mornings. However, it promised sunshine. Ellie prepared in the charming cottage at their venue, Ventnor Botanic Garden, with her best friend and children. Meanwhile, Jake was just down the road in Bonchurch with his brother. As the couple made their way to their beautiful garden ceremony, the clouds quickly parted, revealing a glorious summer’s day.

Following the ceremony, we took a short walk to capture the couple amidst the stunning surroundings. Ellie and Jake then joined their guests for speeches and a delicious wedding breakfast. Guests especially enjoyed the pegging game, which has to be the best value for money wedding entertainment ever! Finally, the evening concluded with dancing and sparklers. We had a wonderful time capturing this Ventnor Botanic Garden wedding. Thank you, Ellie and Jake, for choosing us.
