Their day was filled with vegan food, anime projections (Dragon Ball Z, Ghost In The Shell and Neon Genesis Evangelion) and head-banging to their favourite heavy music like Slipknot and System of a Down. The bride even changed into Crocs at the reception so she was comfortable and ready to party!

October 6, 2025

Wedding planning messes with your brain. Even if you’re the most laid-back human alive, your subconscious will still find ways to throw curveballs at 3am. Don’t panic: pre-wedding dreams aren’t omens, they’re just your nervous system running dress rehearsals for all the big stuff - love, money, family, visibility, identity. Basically, your brain is binge-screening your anxieties like it’s Netflix.

This week I was invited onto BBC Radio 4 to talk about a photographer who scammed a bunch of couples by taking their money and either not showing up, sending someone else (who they then had to pay again!) and/or never delivering any photos. Luckily, situations like this are very rare, but she shared a few tips on how to avoid it happening to you. There was so much more I wanted to say on air, so I'm taking matters into my own hands and leaving the rest of my advice here!

Sarah and Spencer wanted their wedding to feel like an extension of their home, their shared obsessions, and the places that shaped their relationship. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art became their ceremony venue, not just because it is an iconic space in Fort Worth, but because Sarah’s own story as an artist is tied to it. In 2019 she held a Carter Community Artist Residency there, a project that shifted her career and cemented her love for bringing art into public spaces. To marry there was less about grandeur and more about circling back to a place that had given her so much.
