Lucy & Steve

A few years ago, if you asked this couple what getting married was all about they would have said ‘the biggest commitment you can make to someone’, however that soon changed when their Daughter was born. ‘Having a child together definitely overrules that. We’re definitely stuck together now thanks to her!’ says bride Lucy.Having already been together for 8 years and with a one year old Daughter in tow, newlyweds Lucy and Steve organised their wedding celebrations from start to finish in a mere 15 weeks; now that we think you’ll agree is impressive!

Keen to keep things as casual as possible and with a joint desire to keep the ceremony and reception in the same location it was Steve’s parent’s property that provided the perfect place to celebrate.

With no real plan, theme or colour palette in mind (other than of course keeping it all relaxed) it was thanks to Pinterest and many hours on Etsy, that they found all the little details that fused their vibe together to create a day that in their own words was ‘more like a big party than a formal wedding’.

After the formalities were complete and photographer Belinda Monck had taken their bridal portraits it was being introduced at the reception and the speeches that was one of their most favourite and memorable moments…. ‘It’s not very often you hear some of the most important people in your life tell you how much respect they have for you not only as a couple but as parents as well. That was very heartwarming for us.’
