As a wedding planner herself, Stephanie had a strong idea about what she did (and did not!) want for her wedding to Jeff. It was important to them that their wedding really reflected who they are and included the groom's personality as well as the brides. As Jeff is a metal musician and music recording engineer, music was obviously a huge consideration and played an important role in the day.Read more...

Americans Sean and John chose to travel to Ireland with a gang of family and friends to get married at Lisnavagh House in County Carlow. With the wedding being in February the weather was pretty insane - they even got a surprise snowstorm! They had a dress code of black and green which worked really well as made for some really dramatic photos.Read more...

Zoe and Myles were in school together; they didn’t share any classes but knew each other through mutual friends. During a party they hit it off, dated for eight months and then Zoe threw a spanner in the works and moved to England! “I thought that might be it for our relationship as I was planning on staying for a few years,” explained Zoe. “I had the one way ticket before we met. After five months apart, Myles made the leap and moved to England with me.”Read more...

Vicky and Phil's May 2019 wedding was inspired by their love of colour, Lucha Libre wrestling and cacti. With a budget of £13,500, their venue - West Bay at Titanic Hotel, Liverpool - was their biggest expense, but they loved it as soon as they saw it and were so happy with how they ran the day. It also included the catering, which was a big thing to tick off their list!Read more...

Although Gina and Mark's autumn wedding included some seasonal details - skulls, pumpkins etc - most of all they wanted their day to reflect them. They included their love of Mexico (and Mexican food!) and DIYed a-plenty to make their day feel their ownRead more...

Scott and Jackie’s main aim with their May 4th wedding was to stay true to what they love and care about. They grew to love camping together and got engaged while on a cross-country road trip, and that became the core of the theme - made by hand, a little rough around the edges, mismatched, down to earth, but most importantly to them - a hella good time!Read more...

Ryann and Michael always knew they wanted to have a bohemian, vintage wedding, so when it came to planning their big day, they already knew where to start. “I wanted the day to feel like we were in a magical world away from the city and our lives, and for our guests to look around and say ‘this is exactly like Michael and Ryann’” she explained.Read more...

Karen and Dean were married in the ruins of Ettington Park's chapel in October. Their day had a gothic theme which was reflected in the bride's choice of black wedding dress (made by The Couture Company), their Black Cherry Cake Company cake and all the decorations. They used skeletons, trailing ivy, dramatic candelabras with black candles and purple and black flowers.Read more...

Daniela and Thomas's wedding day was a mixture of Rock n Roll, psychobilly and Dia De Los Muertos, which the bride describes as a "Happy, loud and without any conventions" kind of day. They had 'first look' photos taken and also stopped in at an Oreo pop-up store on their way to the ceremony, which was held in an old circus tent! Their reception party was in a rockabilly club in the middle of Berlin where they had a live band playing so it was like a gig - they first met at a psychobilly concert in the bride's hometown of Munich, so this was a lovely nod to that.Read more...

When a bride says she has a thing for skulls, you know she means it when they're right there in the design of her wedding dress! And when you hear the couple married in a jail, you imagine it to be a dark and moody setting. Not a bit of it! This is one beautifully light and airy wedding with just the right amount of edge.Read more...

Halloween is just around the corner so I couldn't resist sharing this seriously spooky, actually quite scary, Halloween inspired skeleton shoot. It's not massively bridal but I think that's why I love it! Halloween weddings aren't about conforming to tradition are they!?Read more...

Charlie and Chris were married in Sheffield. The theme was robots and skulls and they had little nods to both of those things everywhere you looked. "I’m not sure many weddings have quite so many robots included!" Charlie laughed. "They’re very important to both of us so needed to be a pretty big part of the wedding.Read more...
