Sam and Sarah originally met in their
first year of university in Birmingham and are due to tie the knot in Summer
time: August 2012. For their engagement photographs they wanted to go somewhere
that meant a lot to them and that was scenic and romantic too – so they finally
decided on picking the grounds of Birmingham University – where they met and
fell in love! The campus is full of big traditional buildings and beautiful
architecture, so it made the perfect location for their special day.
Sam
and Sarah have been together for nearly four years now, and have been engaged
for one year, Sam proposed last year over a rather special Breakfast and bought
his bride-to-be a stunning ring which he had been searching long for. The
couple knew several close friends who had married the summer before (last year)
and so the anticipation has definitely been building for quite a while. They’re
so excited to have their big day and celebrate the beginning of their life
together with everyone they know and love.
The
wedding will take place in the bride’s home-town which is Oxford in the UK.
Oxford is known for being a beautiful scenic city and the couple have lots of
wonderful, cute things planned for the day. Sam and Sarah love all things retro
and vintage – so they’re big day will be a down-to-earth affair with all the
thoughtfulness in the details. Family and friends will be at the very heart of
the day.
The
couple wanted pretty, cute, retro style photographs that exhibited their
relationship and represented them as a couple. Sarah had spent a long time in
the past months looking at gorgeous photos from all kinds of wedding blogs –and
wanted something just as special and gorgeous for hers. In every photo it’s
pretty clear how in love this couple are and how infectious their energy is
too. Just the look in their eyes is enough to convince anyone of the love
there!
The
couple also wanted to mark the occasion with special gifts too –and as readers
and book lovers they each had a personally bound book made by Calle Arco. It’s an adorable idea to
purchase a gift to mark your engagement photographs and proposal and giving a newly
bound and personal book is something you’ll never throw away and means that
even in 50 years time when they read them, they can remember that special day
together and all the happy memories that came with it.
Sarah
and Sam have loved looking at other peoples decorations and wedding photography to take as inspiration for
their own big day as the more ideas the better! They hope their photographs can
perhaps provide others with the same inspiration they needed!
Sarah
says of her relationship with Sam:
“Sam is my best friend. He's been my best
friend since we first met and I know he's going to be my best friend for many
more years to come. We've had some of the best times together, and faced
difficult times together, but we are a team and although we don't always seem
to get it perfect, we are wonderfully covered by God's grace. Sam asking me to
be his wife will be one of those moments I will treasure forever. Obviously I
am excited for our special day, to have all the people we love and care about
in one place together will be the most wonderful thing, but most of all I am so
excited for our future together, the adventures that are to come. I am excited
that we get to experience them together and share in each other’s joys and
sufferings. I can't wait to be Sam's wife and I can't wait to do life together”
