The Sherlock star and Sophie Hunter wed at the medieval St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Mottistone on the Isle of Wight, off the coast of England, surrounded by family members and famous friends including Tom Hiddleston and Martin Freeman.


The actor's spokeswoman tells the BBC, "It was a magical day."

Cumberbatch won't have too long to celebrate his weekend nuptials - he's expected at the Academy Awards on 22 February (15), when he will compete for a Best Actor Oscar.
