Timeless & Elegant Wedding at Rudding Park Spa – Lisa & Mike

Their day finally came! These two booked me for their big day the moment they set their date at Rudding Park Spa and we have been excitedly looking forward to it together ever since!

The Beginning

“We met on the dancefloor during a Christmas night out in Gypsy Tears! If you’ve seen Mike’s dance moves, need I say any more? – You know how he got my attention!”

The Engagement

We had an engagement shoot to celebrate as they were both feeling a little anxious about being in front of the camera, but just look at those smiles!

“We got engaged 21st July 2022 in our beautiful home, Michael had just got home after working away, he caught me totally off guard. We can’t wait to get all of our families celebrating together!”

I have been lucky enough to know Lisa since primary school! (That’s 27 years at the time of writing, oh my word!) Lisa has always been a beautiful soul!

We started the day in the bridal suite at Rudding Park where Lisa and her bride tribe were getting ready for the day ahead. Lisa was super chilled out and just glowing with excitement!

Lisa’s dad gave a very emotional speech first, Lisa’s mum followed with the hype vibes, the best man followed and gave Mike a hard time (naturally!) and finally Mike gave an equally funny and meaningful speech to wrap up the formalities. During dessert; the secret singing waiters started their set, only Lisa and her Mum knew about this, Mike was so surprised!
