Alice in Wonderland Wedding at Little Gate Farm
When you think of an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding, you probably imagine quirky details, bold colours, and a sense of magic around every corner. That’s exactly what this celebration at Little Gate Farm delivered. Hidden away in the Sussex countryside, this exclusive woodland venue became the perfect backdrop for a day full of creativity, laughter, and love.
Why Little Gate Farm is Perfect for Whimsical Weddings
Set in acres of beautiful woodland, Little Gate Farm offers a rustic yet flexible setting that can be transformed into anything couples dream of. For this wedding, the barns and outdoor spaces became a playful wonderland,complete with long trestle tables, mismatched décor, and natural greenery that gave the whole day a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
This is a venue that feels private, down-to-earth, and full of character, which makes it ideal for couples who want something different from the usual hotel ballroom or stately home.
The Alice in Wonderland Theme
From the moment guests arrived, they were immersed in a world of storybook magic. Think teapots as centrepieces, “Drink Me” labels on glasses, and a riot of colourful flowers scattered across the tables. Every detail tied back to the Alice in Wonderland wedding theme, creating a celebration that felt both stylish and fun.
The styling was bold and unapologetic, with whimsical touches at every turn — perfect for a couple who wanted to celebrate in their own way.
Capturing the Day
As a documentary wedding photographer, my role is to let the story unfold naturally. At this wedding, that meant candid shots of guests laughing at the themed décor, kids playing in the woodland, and those quiet moments between the couple when the madness of Wonderland faded away for a second.
From the ceremony to the late-night dancing, Little Gate Farm provided endless opportunities for creative, natural photography. Mixing storytelling and atmosphere to fit perfectly with the Alice in Wonderland theme.

Kind Words
“My wife has been following Dale on Instagram since before we were even engaged because she loves his style of photography, so we decided to book him to shoot our wedding and he was the perfect choice! Dale was able to capture our day, and our guests so beautifully and in a style we love – we literally could not have asked for better! He made both of us feel so comfortable and relaxed in spite of the fact that we both hate being the centre of attention! He was a very calming presence and manage to keep out of the way and capture really candid shots. Thank you so much for capturing our special day in such an amazing way! We absolutely adore all of our photos and will treasure them forever.”
