Joelle and Chris met at their local rugby club 14 years ago. “Chris persistently nagged me to go on a date with him,” says Joelle. “I eventually gave in, and I haven't been able to get away since.”
Years later, Chris threw Joelle a surprise 30th birthday party and popped the question. “I love the TV series Friends, so Chris created a slideshow with pictures and memories from my life and on each slide was a caption like the names of the Friends' episodes. The last slide was called 'The One Where He Proposed', and when I turned around, he was down on one knee accompanied by tears and cheers from our friends and family.”
Emily Jolly, the director at Gellifawr Woodland Retreat, organised this shoot as part of the venue's Christmas campaign. The theme was a timeless love story which comes across beautifully in this romantic set of images.
SGDJ Weddings offer a range of services. “A wedding is a very personal thing, so we strive to provide a personal service,” says June Gould (DJ June Cecilia). “Each celebration is different, so making sure the music is special to you is important to us. It's essential to keep your guests entertained, which is why a combination of songs you have chosen and our response to the dancefloor creates a perfect formula.
“We can customise lighting,” adds June. “Whether you're filling a large room or a small one, we can create something romantic or fun. We can take care of your ceremony and reception music as well as your evening entertainment. If we are with you for the day, we can also record your speeches and vows and supply other options within the package price. We offer a custom monogram light, uplighting and a selfie wizard photo-sharing system as add on services. We always give you the option to meet up to plan and prepare for the day. Once booked, we won't let you down.”
