Hey there, wedding enthusiasts! Get ready to dive into the whirlwind romance of Lily and Michael, two lovebirds whose journey from flatmates to soulmates is nothing short of epic. As their dedicated photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing every delightful moment of their special day, and let me tell you, it was a day filled with love, laughter, and endless fun!

Their story began in the charming city of Bristol, where Lily and Michael crossed paths as university flatmates. From the moment they met, sparks flew, and it wasn’t long before they realised they were meant to be. Bonding over shared living woes and late-night pizza runs, their connection grew stronger with each passing day. As Lily fondly recalls, “We couldn’t break up because of how awkward it would be for everyone, so we decided ’til death do us part!” 😂😂

How did you find the experience?

Fast forward a few years, and we find ourselves on the night of their second anniversary, where Michael orchestrated a proposal fit for a fairytale. With fireworks illuminating the night sky, he popped the question in Brandon Hill Park, leaving Lily speechless and overjoyed. As she lovingly recalls, “When I opened the box, all I found was a message asking, ‘Will you marry me?’ It was the sweetest surprise!”

With nearly five years of love and laughter behind them, Lily and Michael embarked on the adventure of planning their dream wedding. From choosing the perfect dress at Perfect Day boutique to coordinating guests from around the world, every moment was filled with excitement and anticipation. As Michael reminisces, “Seeing Lily’s face light up when we found our dream venue was priceless. It made all the planning worth it!”

Their wedding day, set against the picturesque backdrop of St John’s Church of Ireland and Hugh McCanns, was nothing short of perfection. From sunrise yoga to heartfelt vows, every moment was a testament to their enduring love. As Lily reflects, “It was absolutely perfect, from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!”

And let’s not forget the unforgettable moments captured by yours truly! From beachside escapades to mountaintop adventures, Lily and Michael’s love story came to life through the lens. Their favourite photograph? Michael’s choice was the image above, while Lily couldn’t get enough of the runaway veil captured in the below shot!

Of course, no wedding is complete without a few hilarious mishaps! From a surprise collapse by the wedding singer (don’t worry – he was posing as a waiter to surprise the bride & groom!) to Lily’s veil nearly flying away in the breeze, there were plenty of laughs to go around. As Lily recalls, “We thought it was a disaster at first, but it turned into one of the funniest moments of the day!”

To future couples planning their own dream wedding, Lily and Michael offer some sage advice: “Enjoy every single minute. It goes by so fast, and it truly is one of the best days of your life. And don’t forget to bring everyone on board to help you—it’s a team effort!”
