Becky and Ran refused to hand their wedding over to anyone else’s version of “how it should be”. The bride knew she wanted to wear black, DIY as much as possible and to not spend a fortune on the things they didn't care about. Almost everything was made by them or by the people who know them best. The décor, the flowers and the stationery were all put together by the couple, and the cake was a sheet cake from Costo which cost just £15!

Kaley and Philip built their Tennessee wedding around the idea of something that felt Southern and gothic with Addams Family undertones. The bride had always pictured an autumn or winter celebration with deep colours, heavy foliage and romantic gothic styling. However, the date ended up being June because it marked the start of their relationship. They didn’t shift the aesthetic to match the season though - they held on to the mood that felt right for them.

When Nosferatu flickered back onto cinema screens, Lauren from Nick and Lauren Photography left the theatre feeling inspired by the film’s shadowy beauty. “I was inspired by the cinematography used in the movie, and wanted to do a wedding shoot that emulated that same aesthetic, but without being vampire based,” she told us. “We decided to combine the elements of country meets alternative, and started joking about what Nosferatu's wedding would look like if it were in the West. Everything snowballed from there!”

The bride's other partners were also involved in the day, acting as their officiant and doing readings. With a budget of just £3,000, they pulled off a wedding that was totally DIY.

Spooky weddings don’t just belong at Halloween. Karina and Jeff proved it with a gothic summerween slasher celebration in the middle of Arnos Vale Cemetery this June. The choice of venue raised eyebrows. Some people called it "kooky", but for Karina it was personal. She used to go there to read during a hard time in her life and later discovered her great-grandparents were buried there. “Even though I never met them it made me feel more connected to the place and its beauty,” she told us. They also had a hearse limo for the day instead of a normal car, "I really felt like Morticia Addams!" she said.

The vibe of Shelby and Sam's wedding was Art Deco meets a great dinner party. It featured their four dogs, signature coffees named after their cats, and a cut out of their dog, Ruby, telling fortunes from a DIY booth. “I really just wanted it to feel like ‘us’ as an event,” Shelby said. “Like those nights where you have such a great time you close the restaurant down.” They left out anything that didn’t feel necessary such as a bridal party, bouquet toss, and a dress code.

Jodie and Billy’s wedding wasn’t their first. Back in 2011, before same-sex marriage was legal in Australia, they held a commitment ceremony.

After eight years apart to figure out who they both were, they reconnected and wanted to marry again - this time with the same rights as straight couples. They were also really clear on what they did and did not want from a wedding.
