Wedding photographer review

Cat was honestly the most amazing photographer, she made us feel so at ease before and on our big day. It was like having a friend around to guide you through the day.

We hosted a drag bingo with Queera Lynn and it was the best part of the day and the most loved moment by the guests.

Florist name + review

My mother in law Amanda Sharp (Nick’s mum) is a professional florist and she took care of all the arrangements alongside her friends Nikki and Tara. The flowers were stunning and everyone couldn’t sing her praises more throughout the day. They brought tears to my mum’s eyes when she first walked in the ceremony room to help with setting up.

Cake maker name + review

My aunt Jane – janeycakes. My aunt made our cake as a gift as she’s a wonderful baker. We wanted something simple, elegant and delicious and she managed to hit the mark on all of those things.

Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?

I made our stationery. Our homage to the Natural History museum which is where we had our first date almost 12 years ago.

Wedding ceremony

Written by us and largely saying the exact same thing to one another about our love of wildlife and travelling and time together

Hair + makeup name + review

Claire Hayes Makeup – Claire was phenomenal from start to finish, so professional and fun to be around. She made me look and feel the best I’ve ever felt.
