Rosie and Tyler met through Hinge. Four months later they got engaged and just ten months after they first started talking, they were married. "It was a whirlwind romance", Rosie told us. "We knew instantly we were best friends and soulmates - people told us we were being crazy but we didn’t care! We knew what we knew. We heal the broken parts of each other and and lift up the beautiful mess. It was young love found in a generational hellscape of toxic dating culture."

Ciara and Joe, who met when they were 11 and began their relationship as each other's prom dates, were married in July. Unhappy with how their wedding photos turned out, they decided to do a portrait session in September and they're so glad they did! "Our wedding was never about having a 'perfect' traditional wedding", they said "but weren't initially happy with how our original wedding photographs came out. We'd put so much thought into the look and atmosphere of our day, but the photographs didn't capture it in the way we'd imagined."

Alissa and Wesley’s wedding planning began when the bride starting looking for her dress. She wanted something witchy, romantic and inspired by nature, steering clear of anything too Halloween-y. Her answer was a sheer black gown, made to order by NRT Fashions and covered in hand-applied beading. The dress then set the direction for the entire day. Its botanical detailing fed into the use of trailing vines, overgrown flowers, old books and flickering candlelight.

Sahara and Montes met at a club around Halloween 2024. They barely spoke that first night, choosing instead to stand together and listen to the music as though they already knew each other. That shared taste in music inspired their wedding two years later. The wedding came together at serious speed. They booked their venue, Sahara bought her dress and they organised the remaining details just two weeks before the day!

Júlia and Marc approached their wedding day like they do their work: start with a story, assemble the cast, build the set and leave enough space for something magical happen. “We never actually set out to have an ‘alternative’ or ‘untraditional’ wedding," Júlia began, "we just kept asking ourselves, over and over again, ‘what feels most like us?’”

Leah repeatedly referred to her wedding as a “fake wedding” because she and Mark skipped so many of the expected traditions that, apart from the legally binding bit, their day had very little interest in seeming like one. There was no aisle, personalised vows or first dance. There were six ceremony guests, several handmade outfits, competitive bingo and a table of temporary tattoos. It also happened to be on Leah’s 30th birthday! “I love my birthday but don’t love the idea of being centre of attention so thought what a good way to have a party, combine the two!" she said. "I got to spend the day with all my favourite people!”

Morag and Fran spent £7,800 on their Glasgow wedding and made almost everything themselves. The original plan was an 80s prom party, but as time progressed, Morag’s self-described “sparkly space princess” tendencies took over. Purple, blue and gold became the main colour scheme, with a dose of rainbow for good measure. They included Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball references which brought a 90s anime edge to the celestial styling.
