Lucy and Doug met, rather untraditionally, outside of a Kebab shop in Southampton! Lucy admits that she was rather the worse for wear and VERY hungry…Doug admits that his kebab was attracting a gorgeous girl far more easily than his cheesy chat up lines ever had! Their love blossomed and it wasn’t long before they hated being apart and at the end of a fabulous holiday in Brazil they woke, on a yacht, in Rio and Lucy asked Doug to move in.
Following a romantic (but very public!) proposal on Millenium Bridge in London, Doug swept Lucy off her feet with dinner on the Thames and champagne at the OXO bar…what a guy! (Though Doug tells me it was only as he went down on bended knee that he remembered that Lucy isn’t big on public displays of affection! I’m so glad she still said “yes!”)
This gorgeous couple, together with their adorable son Jude, are a picture of perfect happiness. Having photographed Jude during a baby lifestyle session and also Lucy and Doug’s engagement session, I knew I would LOVE photographing their big day but nothing prepared me for the glorious details of their Village Fete themed wedding…it was spectacular! From the oodles of bunting to the fete games and hog roast, it was simply perfection. The highlight, for me though, was ‘The Great Wedding Bake Off’…how can you top that?
Thank you to you both for making us so welcome at your day, you have the loveliest bunch of family and friends and I sincerely wish we could do it all again!
