Horror fans Jennifer Jones (27) and Rob Blackmore (31), from Stockbridge, won a competition to have their wedding day transformed for the theme, The Mirror has said.
The couple's dream wedding was held in conjunction with the release of new zombie computer game, Dead Island Riptide.
The couple had entered a Facebook competition to win a zombie wedding organised by the makers of the new game Dead Island Riptide. They beat dozens of applicants after they impressed the judges with their enthusiasm for the game series.
Warehouse assistant Rob said: "Ever since I was a child in the 1980s and saw my first zombie film, I was drawn to zombies.
"When technology grew and computer games came out, the first zombie game I played was Resident Evil. From there it just escalated and I became a huge fan. I've never played a zombie game I haven't liked."
While his new bride added: "My mum wasn't even surprised. Everyday is like Halloween for me. She loved the idea.
"We wanted to get married on Halloween anyway so it was always going to be a spooky, creepy, weird wedding."
More than 250 people gathered for the unorthodox ceremony at One Mayfair in central London, which was decorated as a "hellish" Caribbean paradise - a theme that runs through the Dead Island series of games. Live music was provided by "zombified" band Mariachi Mexteca, while the couple were set to whisked away for a honeymoon in the Caribbean.
