Ceri & Tim | A gaynes park wedding
02.07.22It was such an honour to be chosen to capture Ceri & Tim’s magical day. Here’s their story…
TeaserWhy did you pick your venue, and what makes it special to you?
We wanted a venue that was nice and light and had green space, but was easily accessible from London where we live. The fact you can actually see the city skyline makes it feel like we are doing nice and close to home as well.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 felt very comfortable with you on the video call and were confident based on work that you'll capture the fun vibe of the day.What is important in life to you?
Having fun. Spending time with Friends and Family. We love to travel. Tim loves football. Ceri animals.What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
Watching TV and playing board games. Occasionally a roast at the pub.WEdding CeremonyHow did you meet each other?
In a bar in Balham called Exhibit. A friend of Tim's told Ceri that he wanted to speak to her and we ended up talking (although he hadn't actually said it!)How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
Tim proposed in Greece, on the terrace of our hotel room. We went for a walk in the morning, it was quite funny as a bird shit on Tim (technically good luck) and Ceri was rearranging furniture on the beach to get perfect shot before anyone was up (turned out she couldn't get the effect shot so had to move it all back again). Then went back and Tim stood on a wasp in bare feet on terrace and also got away without being stung. Called Ceri out and got down on one knee. She said 'is this a joke' twice (just what Tim wanted to hear) before just about getting out a yes haha. We then went and spent a day on a boat with Tims parents and one of his sisters and her partner. Didn't tell them until they noticed the ring cue a lot of shouting and screaming (during the re-fulling, which caused concern by all the staff around)!Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
Ceri is so kind and lovely to everyone, so patient, and so funny (she loves to laugh pretty much anything including herself). Also she does a lot of the talking so I don't have to! Tim is really funny and silly, doesn't take himself too seriously and cares about the small things in life and the little moments :)How do you think your partner makes you better?
Ceri makes Tim better in pretty much every way. Hard not to be considerate when you have such a shining example next to you. Tim chills ceri out and helps her side a more logical side.Wedding breakfast speechesWhat part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
Tim putting up with the plethora of animals Ceri wants. Ceri putting up with Tim constantly watching/playing sports!What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
Been very lucky to get to do many of them, maybe going backpacking together.What makes your partner unique?
Higher EQ than anyone I know. Always putting others above herself. Tim- his ability to be so chilled and deal with any issue in a calm a positive manner.If you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
