Holly & Luke | Parish’s House
16.07.22It was such an honour to be chosen to capture Holly & Luke’s magical day. Here’s their story…
FeatureWhy did you pick your venue, and what makes it special to you?
Our venue is in our hometown near Bath where we first met We wanted a venue where we could have a marquee wedding as my mum owns a marquee company, there's also 2 spaces for the marquees so we plan on having a completely separate day and evening area. Luke particularly loves the water feature backdrop I also love that it has a cottage onsite where I can get ready with my bridesmaids and we can stay the night of the wedding 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?
The cinematic style and capturing the finer details of the day I really like the documentary style telling the story of the day, capturing moments we may have missed on our day of our friends and family As mentioned before we would prefer not to have any voiceover on the video from us (other than perhaps some clips from the church) What is important in life to you?
A long and happy life together Our friends and family What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
Pottering into Balham town for brunch Walking around the local common Grabbing an iced coffee and sitting in the garden A nice takeaway and a film How did you meet each other?
We met at school when we were 16, I joined the school at 6th form and we got together within the first few months 12 years later and we're getting married :) How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
We managed to escape to Antigua in November 2020 - flew out 1 day before lockdown We stayed in a beautiful all inclusive boutique hotel Luke had hired out the private jeti jutting out into the bay for our 11th anniversary. He gave me a photobook of our 11 years together, and at the end proposed at sunset.Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
We were very compatible, had similar personalities and sense of humour and were attracted to each other from the start, we've always also been very independent with lots of our own friends and hobbies which is always important How do you think your partner makes you better?
Our personalities compliment each other, he is very laid back and good at de-stressing me when I need it and in general is just a very happy positive person to be around. Vice versa I'm good at getting him off the sofa and out and about, and being a good housewife as he has a fear of washing What part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
Starting to get baby questions! Not ready for that just yet :) What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
Own a house in/ near London with an open kitchen slidey back doors into the garden (Holly) Own a cat in London (Luke)What makes your partner unique?
His unique combination of looks, intelligence, humour and sporting ability. her kind and caring personality, combined with beauty and humourIf you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
kind, considerate, funny, sharp elbows - (Luke describing Holly) Loving, smart, joker, sport obsessed - (Holly describing Luke) Tell us about your wedding plans so far - anything you would like to mention (including fears, what excites you, etc.)?
We've organised it very much DIY (99% Holly) . This is great for being able to customise every single bit of the wedding, but definitely adds to the workload and stress! What sort of music do you like, and who do you listen to on a regular basis?
Very mixed Would quite like an acoustic cover for our wedding video Luke likes lot of 90s singalong songs, from dance and disco to OasisIn terms of style, look and feel, how would you summarise your wedding day?
Countryside British wedding Quite traditional and elegant Finally... why are you marrying each other?!? :-)
For love and to hopefully one day start a lil family WEdding ceremony
