Most people pick a park, a beach, or maybe a trendy city street for their engagement photos. Sarah and Chris chose a cemetery. Their vision was to shoot something that felt like them, and that meant something a little dark.Read more...

With a budget of just £7,000 but a shed load of creativity and love, Steph and James had a beautiful wedding at Birmingham's The Old Library, inspired by their personal style and interests. Guests signed a record player instead of a book, tables were named after their favourite travel destinations, and a temporary tattoo station kept both kids and adults entertained. Steph wore celestial jewellery, a nod to James’s nickname for her, 'Luna Lady' and she made her own dress!Read more...

Bri and Matt met after Bri moved to Vegas and joined a new group of friends. “The timing wasn’t right for anything romantic,” she said. “We stayed friends for years, and over time, it became undeniable that there was something more between us.” Seven years later, they were planning their wedding around two things they both loved: spooky season and each other.Read more...

Kyla and Tyrone wanted a ceremony written in fire, not florals. They chose gothic romance and dark fantasy as their blueprint, with a cathedral-lit Sleep Token concert as a reference point. Every element was deliberate and every moment was ritualised.Read more...

Taylah and Ben met when they were 15 and 16. Although they were at the same school, they'd been in different year groups so didn't really get the chance to connect until the end. But once they did, they were inseparable. They've been together ever since.Read more...

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. They tried to make it traditional, but later realised most of it hadn’t felt right. 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.Read more...

There’s no one way to be goth. Some of us were raised on fantasy novels and Victorian mourning gowns. Some of us still listen to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge on repeat. Others just feel most themselves in black, with a little lace and a lot of eyeliner. Whether you’re leaning medieval, romantic, emo, soft goth or something in between, a gothic wedding is about choosing aesthetic over tradition and owning the mood that feels most like you.Read more...

t's not often you see gothic inspired weddings on white sand beaches, but that's exactly what felt right for Koleen and Tay. Both hairstylists with the same February birthday (!) they chose a private stretch of Mexican coast because Koleen had always dreamed of getting married by the ocean wearing black. Tying the knot the day before Halloween, right in the middle of Día de Muertos celebrations, it was the perfect setting for them.Read more...

It all started on one of those days where Stef, half of Un-Traditional Wedding Stylists, was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, when she came across the Teenage Cancer Trust’s #WearABandTShirtDay campaign. The concept was simple: wear your favourite band tee to work, raise awareness and support for young people with cancer. But something about it sparked more than just casual interest.Read more...

They had a limited budget, so did everything from the cake, flowers, props and decor themselves. "The theme was forest goth... basically using all the decor from our home!"Read more...

As a wedding planner, Celine had spent years organising weddings for other people.
