Skye & Laura
Ventnor Botanic Garden, Isle of Wight
A Very Botanical Wedding
Laura and Skye are women who love nature. Laura is a plant obsessive who spends most of her time outside of work creating a beautiful urban garden at their home in South London – tomatoes are her speciality, apparently! Skye is a self-confessed tree hugger who understands the power of being up close with the greener parts of our planet. It is no surprise, then, that they chose Ventnor Botanic Garden as the venue for their wedding day.
And so it was that, on a beautiful autumnal day, Laura and Skye were joined in matrimony, surrounded by a verdant canopy provided by some of the garden’s most magnificent trees. As well as their legal ceremony, Laura and Skye had a friend perform a handfasting, a pagan tradition once again underlining their connection to nature.
More Plants, Please
After their ceremony, Laura, Skye, and I went for a walk amongst the lush foliage of the garden in order to capture portraits of them in all of their newly-wed bliss. The couple had told us that they would prefer not to be posed at all, and so as we moved around the garden, I simply captured them together, occasionally making a gentle suggestion about a place that might be lovely to stand for a moment. They were so smitten and involved with each other and the flora surrounding them that capturing these intimate moments was easy and an immense pleasure.
It was such a beautiful wedding, and we are incredibly grateful to have been chosen to capture it.
