THE BACKGROUND FROM KELSEY + CRAIG
VENUE
ATTIRE + ACCESSORIES
My main dress is from The Ivory Dressing Room, with a plain front and detailing on the back with a bow, which I love. My shoes are ivory from Rainbow Club. My second dress is from House of CB—short, white, and stunning. The suits are hand-tailored, all black and clean cut, with black patent Kurt Geiger shoes. I’ll be wearing a Swarovski watch, bought for me by my mum and nan for the wedding. Craig will be wearing an Armani watch. My wedding ring is Vera Wang. No necklace. The theme is black tie. The bridesmaids will wear black dresses, with Grace in an ivory dress. The groomsmen will wear black suits.
It’s not too big, and the grounds are beautiful with lots of green. The area feels calm.
STORY
We met online—short and sweet. Our perfect day together is either a spa break or a Christmas market, staying over in a luxury hotel with a glass of red wine. We love spending time together as a family.
PROPOSAL
HONEYMOON
Craig proposed on New Year’s Eve 2023 at home, with all of the kids on the sofa.
We’re planning to go to the Maldives, but it’s not booked yet—we’ll do that in the new year.
EXPERIENCE
FILM
The theme is black, white, and ivory with a black-tie style. We’ll have tall plinths with balls of white and ivory roses and candles. We want our guests to have fun and relax. We’re having a hog roast and pizza, with Peroni and Prosecco.
We love how you capture the small details, not just lots of group shots, and your videos are amazing. Watching it back will feel emotional but happy.
MOST EXCITED ABOUT
The hog roast.
special thanks...

Kelsey and Craig, you two were absolute top class from start to finish. I don’t think I’ve ever met a couple so perfectly matched, with such a beautiful family dynamic. You’ve done an incredible job with your family, your kids are a real credit to you both.
I’ve loved getting to know you and being part of your day. Making your films had me laughing so much, there are countless LOL moments, especially during the speeches, which were absolutely hilarious. It was a privilege to capture everything. Enjoy reliving it, it truly was such an amazing day, full of love, laughter and family.
