A HODSOCK PRIORY WEDDING: JESSICA & ALEX

Share a little back story?  How did you guys meet?  Who made the first move?

We met on tinder!!! I was awful to Alex and kept cancelling our dates! But he managed not to get bored and eventually I apologised and we went out. I think then he’d moved in within a month! Haha

Where and when was the proposal?

Venice – Italy! we had driven there from Austria for a few days. We actually missed our flight from o Austria and our case got lost and my ring my was in the case! Alex was having a breakdown and he’s usually super chill and just didn’t click on at all! But we got there – Venice the most romantic place on earth –   Did he get down on one knee? Nope! Did he have a wonderful speech planned? Nope! It went a bit like this ‘I just wondered if you fancied wearing a new ring?!’ Haha

What was the favourite part of your wedding day?

The parts where it was just us two. You get so lost with everyone there, and speaking to everyone etc and it goes so fast you appreciate those moments.

What was it that made you choose Simply Beautiful Photo & Film to capture your day?

The fact it’s not intrusive, it’s relaxed and not posed. I love the fact they capture all the little details of the day, not just the people too.

Have you got any top tips for couples who are planning their wedding?

Enjoy every second, it’s goes so fast. Spend time together on the day. Annnnnnd Don’t skip on budget for photography, because it goes so fast you will want to go back and see every second again, and again and you’ll want it done well someone who knows what they are doing and understands exactly what you want.
