Emma & John | A Boreham house wedding
10.09.21It was such an honour to be able to capture Emma & John’s magical day. Here’s their story…
Why did you pick Boreham House, and what makes it special to you?
We loved Boreham House as soon as we saw it. We wanted a very "grand" and elegant venue and it matched everything that we were both looking for. It's a real honour to have been chosen to capture your special day - thank you! We would love to know why you chose us - what is it about our work that you like?
We love how your videos tell a story of the day. That is something really important to us!What is important in life to you?
Family & being happy!What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
In all honesty, being quite lazy together! There doesnt seem to be a happy medium with us, we either do nothing or go out and do lots.How did you meet each other?
In Blues Kitchen, Shoreditch on Emma's Birthday 5 years ago. Nothing romantic unfortunately, we walked past each other at the bar and John very unromatically asked if i fancied a drink and the rest is history!How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
I originally thought we were meeting Johns friends for dinner. Instead, John took me to Roka (my fave restaurant) and then on to Sea Containers where we spent my 30th Birthday in one of their suites. I thought we were headed to the rooftop bar as part of our date night but actually ended up in one of the suites which had candles everywhere and a book on the bed that told our story . John then proposed with my Nans engagement ring. Cute! Then we got very drunk haha.Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
Because we compliment each other perfectly :-)How do you think your partner makes you better?
We balance each other out. Sometimes John needs a kick up the butt and sometimes Emma needs to worry less and rationalise.What part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
Nothing - we've had plenty of bad moments in the last 5 years that were out of our control so i think we are all set :-)What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
We had booked to go to Japan for our honeymoon originally but obviously this was cancelled. We would both love to still go and experience it one day.What makes your partner unique?
This is a tough one. Just a combination of lots of little things all put together in their own special way!If you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
John- Kind, generous, caring, calm, outgoing
Emma - Beautiful, funny, thoughtful, messy, chatty Tell us about your wedding plans so far - anything you would like to mention (including fears, what excites you, etc.)?
IIts been a journey and half!!!! Everything that has gone wrong has actually made us more chilled about the whole thing. If things go wrong on the day, who cares - the most inportant thing now is getting married finally!What sort of music do you like, and who do you listen to on a regular basis?
We both like a bit of old school garage. Also both loving Heart 70's and 90's atm!!In terms of style, look and feel, how would you summarise your wedding day?
Happy, elegant and perfect :-)Finally... why are you marrying each other?!? :-)
No one else wanted us!
We balance each other out so well and we are so happy together- we want to make that committment now more than ever after the last 18 months.
