We do love planet-friendly, sustainable weddings! This lovely and super useful article to help you plan your eco-friendly wedding was written for English Wedding by Hampshire wedding photographer Sarah Hoyle 


If you are planning your wedding this year, you might be well aware that it can actually have a huge impact on the environment. There are lots of things only used once for the day and at high cost. You may be feeling the pressure to fly guests in from abroad and also to fulfil a more traditional idea of a dress or suit, or flowers.

We love weddings! We’re excited for all of you lovely people out there planning your weddings. Enjoy the adventure… and along the way, let’s do our very best to reduce weddings’ impact on the world around us.

As joyful as they are, weddings can be big, expensive, wasteful and stressful events. Much of the wedding media is focused on things to buy for weddings – and we want to change that.

A wedding is a happy celebration with origins as old as time: humans have been falling in love since we got here.

We love a wedding with a little wow. Actually, we’re head over heels in love with Meg & Jack’s utterly WOW wedding. The venue is amazing, the newlyweds are stunning – it’s all just too beautiful for words.

Images are by lovely Lisa & Neil Photography. The breathtaking and unique ceremony was on stage at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds and the evening reception was held at Culford School.

How did you choose your photographer?

They took us out for coffee and they were so knowledgable and put us both at ease. They made us feel so completely unique and special.

An elegant English castle wedding done beautifully – this is a wonderful feature we’ve been so looking forward to sharing with you. Racheal and Jonathan married at Powderham Castle, overlooking the river Exe in glorious Devon. With three stunning dress changes, Rachael looks incredible every moment of their day – and Jonathan looks fantastic in a very elegant blue suit. (He told us he’s a quick shopper and was done in 15 minutes!)

We love it when our couples make their weddings really personal, and this time the special touch is pretty unique! The title we’ve given to Lois & Brendan’s wedding says it all: Lois’s grandfather invented the Bickerton bicycle, which is the couple’s preferred mode of transport for the day!

100% yes – he was amazing. We loved all his photos and was amazing with my young children getting them to be photographed. They still talk about him now!
