It was such an honour to be chosen to capture Lydia & Pirra’s magical day. Here’s their story…
Feature
Why did you pick your venue, and what makes it special to you?
Because we was planning a wedding in short notice and that was the only venue available to us. We wanted an outdoor ceremony so worked out well for us.
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 like that it is candid and the story telling aspect of the final video is what caught our eye.
What is important in life to you?
Our friends and family and ultimately being happy.
What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
We enjoy going to the zoo on most of our dates, have visited a few over the years. We also enjoy getting a takeaway and going to the movies.
How did you meet each other?
We both met in Nottingham at university. We met through a friend at university.
How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
I proposed at Peak District, was just the 2 of us. Close and intimate with a friend taking the photography..
Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
Because I am her calm, and I can make her laugh when she’s angry/sad. Feels peaceful when together. She inspires me to be a better person, and I can always count on her. In hard times and good times.
How do you think your partner makes you better?
I have made her more patient as a person. For me I would say she has taught me a lot of values. Work ethic, my dress sense has definitely gotten better. My day goes better after speaking to her in the mornings.
What part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
Teaching me how to cook and clean. Getting me off my PlayStation 5. Keeping her cool for when I don’t cook and clean.
What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
Winning the lottery! Travelling together, living together.
What makes your partner unique?
He is unique because he has the ability to make friends in seconds. And people always feel comfortable in his presence. She is unique because she is funny. She is very caring and she will always look after you with her 150%. She is good with all kids who she meets.
If you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
- he is patient, loveable, fun, quiet and friendly. - she is beautiful, caring, smart, hardworking and strong minded.
Tell us about your wedding plans so far - anything you would like to mention (including fears, what excites you, etc.)?
The ice cream truck is exiting to look forward to. Spending time with our friends and family ok our big day.
What sort of music do you like, and who do you listen to on a regular basis?
Lydia - Christian music, tamil music, no favourites tbh, Pirra - R&B , tamil music and I love my Bhangra music. No favourite too.
In terms of style, look and feel, how would you summarise your wedding day?
Glam, Boho chic.
Finally... why are you marrying each other?!? :-)
We love each other and can not imagine us both marrying anyone else. 😊
