Dazzling Art Deco Rachael and Marc enjoyed the best of Brighton’s venues on their oh-so chic wedding day Images courtesy of Hannah Phipps Photography Rachael and Marc met more than a decade ago at a meet and greet with The Libertines’ drummer. The two connected instantly, but they lived in different cities and sadly lost contact. However, four years later they ran into each other again by sheer chance and have never looked back. Rachael proposed outside The Royal Pavilion on 29th February, 2020 – leap year. “I was very nervous, and it was a windy, gloomy day, but the sun came out for the proposal,” Rachael remembers.
