Disney fans Daniel and George had the perfect day at Leez Priory – with a special pre-ceremony call from BBC Radio 2 host, Scott Mills.

The table décor matched the overall black and white aesthetic of the day with the theme for the Wedding Breakfast as 'BBC Radio 2'. The table plan board was tied into the idea of the 'Radio 2 Breakfast Show' with all the presenter names and guest locations detailed. The table names were all themed around BBC Radio 2 presenters including Claudia Winkleman, Zoe Ball, Rylan Clark, Sara Cox and so on. This theme was actually picked up upon by Radio 2 themselves and Daniel and George had 'pre-ceremony' vows live on air with Scott Mills! And more recently, they were invited live in the studio with Rylan and Scott to talk all about their day - eventually being dubbed 'THE Radio 2 Wedding'!

Make-up artist, Lynsey Fordham, put together this styled shoot at Apton Hall. The vision combined cool, crisp whites alongside mellow sage greens. The outcome is perfectly timeless with such a relaxed vibe. I love this image taken by John Payton Photography. The décor & venue styling by Elf Occasions was absolutely stunning. The simplicity of the flowing fabrics and wild foliage is perfect.
Emily Potts married Mark Pearl on 27th July 2024 at That Amazing Place. Emily says, "A memorable moment was later in the afternoon, post ceremony. We waited patiently in the wheat fields for the sunset to beam out. Our photographer & videographer told us he knew it would come in a few minutes and to wait. I'm so glad we did, the photos are incredible."
Mr and Mrs Pearl tied the knot in style at That Amazing Place. The couple chose a flower wall with ‘The Pearls’ light up sign for a backdrop to their photobooth - and doesn't it look incredible!

Daniel proposed to George at Epcot in Walt Disney World in May 2022 – Daniel's favourite place. It took place first thing in the morning in the Rose Garden located in the UK Pavilion of Epcot. Dan explains, “I felt it was a perfect location that blended a bit of home and a bit of Disney magic. George said yes and we celebrated with the best engagement holiday, being spoilt by all the amazing cast members at Disney World.” When it came to planning the big day, it was only natural that Disney played a big part in the plans and aesthetic for the wedding.

Alexandra's mum played matchmaker to get Kris and Anlexandra together. The pair soon hit it off and before they knew it they knew they were inseparable. Kris proposed and the rest is history. Alexandra and Kris Keeley said their vows on 25th April 2024 at Crondon Park. The inspiration behind Alexandra's look was a mixture of the ball scene from the film Labryinth and Phantom of the Opera. The latest issue is available now. Read An Essex Wedding magazine for free!
