Weddings are a beautiful celebration of love and unity, marking the beginning of a life shared together. I recently had the joy of photographing Helen and Ben’s stunning wedding at The Ferry House in Sheerness, a venue famed for its scenic views and outstanding service. This picturesque location provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with laughter, joy, and countless unforgettable moments. From the early preparations to the magical first dance, every detail was thoughtfully crafted, making it a truly memorable day.



The day began with Helen preparing for her big moment, and the excitement in the air was contagious. Surrounded by her bridesmaids, laughter echoed as they shared stories and memories, all while getting ready. The bridal suite at The Ferry House was elegantly decorated, with soft pastels and floral arrangements that created a tranquil atmosphere for the bride. This carefully curated space allowed Helen a beautiful setting to prepare for the aisle.

The outdoor space, embraced by lush greenery, came alive with vibrant floral arrangements that elegantly contrasted with the natural backdrop. The colours of red roses, white lilies, and greenery set a stunning scene perfect for Helen and Ben as they exchanged their heartfelt vows in front of family and friends.


The ceremony was a stunning display of love and emotions. As Helen walked down the aisle, she looked radiant in her gown, and Ben's eyes sparkled with happiness. Surrounded by their family and close friends, the officiant's words about love's power resonated deeply, reminding everyone of the importance of commitment and support. As they sealed their vows with a kiss, the cheers from their loved ones filled the air, marking a joyful new chapter in their lives.

After the heartfelt ceremony, guests were invited into a beautifully decorated dining area for the reception. Each table was meticulously arranged with elegant centerpieces that reflected Helen and Ben’s style, featuring personalised touches like custom name cards and a unique blend of floral arrangements. For example, the centerpieces combined deep green foliage with splashes of lavender and peonies, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
