Intimate, Classy and Simple Boomrock Wedding | Nik + Steph

Q. In three words describe your wedding style?

Simple, classy and intimate

Q. What was your favourite moment from your wedding?

Arriving in the helicopter - it was a stunning day for it and was such a fun experience with my bridesmaids! Felt like a very grand entrance.

Q. What was the most difficult part of planning your wedding? And the most fun?

Coordinating things from a distance (being based in London) was the hardest, the most fun was trying on wedding dresses!

Q. Did you DIY? If so, what did you do?

We did DIY with the seating plan and the table decorations and numbers. Oh and our friend Kathy (who you know well) DIY’d the wedding cake!

Q. Any advice for couples planning their wedding?

To work through things gradually and consistently in small and manageable chunks, so that it doesn’t feel overwhelming and you can enjoy each step of the process.

Q. What do you love most about your photos? What was it like having Caroline as your wedding photographer?

We were so grateful to have Caroline as our wedding photographer - we already knew she took stunning photos as she had done a few of our close friend’s wedding photos. Having someone so calm and kind really helped to make us feel relaxed in front of the camera. I love the variety of shots that were taken and how all the really special moments were captured. We couldn’t be happier with the photos we received! It is hard to choose our favourites!
