There’s something a bit special about a Cobbles couple… They have a dna that blends them being so very warm whilst also being very chill!  L & C could be the poster couple ❤️ 

They moved back from their work as teachers at an international school just a few weeks ago, we met in a pub beer garden!  Before then we’d been in zoom rooms and what’s apps. From the instant I met them, I loved them, and couldn’t wait to share their love story with their gorgeous family and friends. 

All of the little sentimental details and stunning florals and decor brought a heartwarming feeling for their special day. It was a genuine honour to be their celebrant 😍

What a swell day for a very cute and super chill couple, the lovely F&R

Their wedding ceremony was rich in sentiment and laughter, a few surprises too, including competitive ring bearing (you had to be there!) 

The brief was to begin the day with a loving and warm welcome and to raise the atmosphere to allow celebrations to flow with cocktail hour, reading the couples 5⭐️ review…. I’m pleased to say - Job done! ✔️ 

“We booked Vicky to be our celebrant and she was just amazing.

We won’t ruin the surprise for others but Vicky sent such lovely things to us throughout the wedding planing and made a real effort to get to know us and our story.

On the day, Vicky was just 12/10 amazing. She made the ceremony so personal and had the perfect mix of fun, humour and lovely stories to share. Vicky was super calm even though we had a medical emergency in our ceremony.

Vicky really set the tone for our whole wedding and so many guests said ‘she was incredible!’. She made everything so special and without doubt the best booking we made of the wedding.

Thank you Vicky - you’re just lush!”

Thanks F&R your words mean the world ❤️❤️❤️

• A M B E R & S I O N • An exquisite wedding day • A M B E R &  S I O N •
An exquisite wedding day where many dreams came true. A&S had daydreamed about their ceremony in the meadow garden at @fairyhill , we talked about the vibrant red military jackets 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 striking against a blue sky, we hoped that music would drift over the lawns and guests would have happy tears… well…. tick, tick, tick and tick ✅ again!

Their story was so special to share, love hit them front and centre.  Once they found each other they did not want to be apart ❤️

They have supported one another through more worries than couples 60 years older than them should have experienced and now it’s their time.  I would say a calm time, but this wedding was also the most elaborate leaving doo as the couple and many of the guests head off on a new service deployment this summer.  Good luck gang, I’ll be thinking of you all with love.

A beautiful day for a beautiful couple, a proper fairytale at Fairyhill 😍

The wedding that gave me a sign that a long hot summer of love was on the way 😍 

I met C&S at one of @mywonderfulwelshwedding shows, then we just seemed to keep meeting one another, to a point that Claire was like an unpaid advertising executive for me!

The plans for the wedding at @llechwenhall were made with fine precision, Claire made the decorations and jewellery and worked with a lush team of suppliers to host a perfect day for the friends and family who blessed their union.

After telling the couples story, they made a time capsule, posting their vows to one another with a bottle of something nice to open when the time is right, we then took a step back in time and asked the couples parents and Claire’s daughter to show their approval with a Celtic hand blessing which was all sorts of gorgeous.

The couple have the kindest, warmest hearts, pals now, C&S - it’s been an honour ❤️❤️

There is something so special about being alongside a couple on a day which marks such a milestone in their relationship.  Each ceremony brings a drop of joy, and it might sound very gushy, but, it fuels me. 

The ceremony for L&C honoured their roles as devoted parents to their beautiful daughters and their commitment to their families. We remembered Chris’s Dad and how his legacy is always part of their pathway.

They had the most perfect day ❤️ the venue looked beautiful, Lakeisha had chosen a really lovely pearly oyster colour which was harmonised with glitter balls, which looked really good against the backdrop of heritage colours of the ceremony room at @morganshotelswansea 

When the bride walked into the ceremony space to “Stand by me” by Florence and The Machine, her dress and veil flowed so elegantly, I had to get a video of that walk on the famous granite stairs of the hotel!

Every message and contact with L&C has been filled with 
a gentle kindness and gratitude, it was a genuine honour to see them so happy and starting this era as Mr and Mrs ❤️❤️

🪩Viva Las Vegas 🪩

A big year for us, with 50th birthday’s and our silver wedding anniversary coming up, we decided to make the most of it with an incredibly memorable celebration - Elvis himself gave us his blessing, and we explored downtown Las Vegas at golden hour for a perfect Nevada sunset and had a fancy meal.  It was such a great experience ❤️ all kept hush, hush until now.

I wore the same jewellery from our wedding in 2001 and pimped up a headband with the hair jewels I wore too, it was super sentimental and special.

Super interesting to see how ceremonies are officiated in America and empathise with my couples too 😍

L U C I E & A L E X • Within the maritime quarter L U C I E &  A L E X •
Within the maritime quarter of Swansea, Lucie and Alex made their commitments to one another at the opulent location of Morgans Hotel. 

It was a stones throw from where Alex proposed on one of their favourite walking routes, their amazingly behaved golden retriever was there to witness that “yes”, and then the “I do’s” as the couples BEST DOG and he really was! 

In his little tuxedo with a flower on, he lapped up the attention and a thousand cries of ‘good boy’ which made his pawrents very happy 🐾❤️

Beautiful day working some of my industry faves. Nerys played the processional, signing and recessional songs, while Danielle and Craig captured the day.  One of those days at work that fill your cup. Lush iawn 😍
