There are so many people the couple would love to thank. “Our photographer Alicia was sensational,” Chris says. “What made her so great was her relaxed nature and rapport with all our guests making them feel so at ease having their photos taken and making each one candid and fun. We had a couple of great ones taken where I was thrown into the air by my stag party and the resulting shots are fantastic. “Our wedding day was faultless, made possible by many but most of all Georgia Bradley. She’s incredible, everything you could want in a wedding coordinator and made our day so special. Her support during the entire planning stage was professional but above all caring, helping to make our day unique and exactly how we’d hoped. The seamless execution of the day was flawless down to the hard work and friendliness of all the staff who are fantastic. Thank you all for making our day so memorable.” GROOM’S TOP TIPS Chris says, “Be clear with and trust in your suppliers to do what’s best for you. Inspiration is great but you don’t need everything, just what matters and means something to you. Be as prepared as you can be and hope for the best but there’ll always be things that will happen out of your control. Just roll with it. The most important thing is that you’re both there, with each other, for each other and nothing can ruin that moment for you. You did something so special, so make sure you enjoy it!” 26
