So, Who Are We?

The short answer is that we’re a wedding photography couple based near Loughborough (a small town in the middle of the United Kingdom).

The longer one takes a bit more telling, but suffice it to say that we met while doing chemistry degrees at Bath University, and while bouncing around jobs in the scientific and rock climbing sectors we eventually found our calling both to one another, and as wedding professionals. Since we found our niche we have remained committed to our joint ethos about providing the best experiences possible for our couples on their wedding days.

Through it all we have continued to enjoy our hobbies and pass-times, and we have a lovely home with two dogs and two cats (scroll for snaps) just outside of Loughborough in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom. Archie still loves climbing whenever possible, and Abigail has an unhealthy addiction to houseplants!

At the end of 2022 we got engaged at the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park and we’re currently planning our own wedding for our tenth anniversary in 2024.

Archie

I’m not much of one for talking about myself, but I think it’s only fair to let you know a little about the guy who you might be inviting to hang around with you and your friends on one of the biggest days of your lives!

Hobbies:

• Avid rock climber of almost 20 years
• Eton Fives player and coach (join us in Repton if you’d like?)
• DnD Dungeon Master
• Anything involving power tools

Likes:

• Dogs (scroll for cute dog pictures)
• Whiskey (Ardbeg is a thing of beauty)
• Bread (it’s like kryptonite for me!)

I love sci-fi and fantasy media. Picard is my captain.
The Lord of the Rings are the greatest movies ever made.

I just love new tech. Don’t get me started. I got the first iPhone when it came out and it blew my teenage mind. Nowadays I’m all about drones, AI art, and (of course) cameras.

I could eat pizza for a year straight and not get over it. The first thing we are doing when we finally move into our new house is getting one of those fancy pizza ovens with the open flame. A bit of charred crust gets me going every time!

Abigail

It’s not often you get to write about your significant other on a public page, so lets get this out the way at the start.

Abigail is an absolute legend.

They say opposites attract, which must be why Abigail is so talkative! I can’t even count the number of couples that have come away from their wedding with a new best friend!

She’s a badass salsa dancer and instructor, house plant aficionada, excellent cook, and the best damn wedding coordinator you’ll ever meet. Honestly, if you need a sounding board for your plans then she’s a non-stop source of can-do attitude and ideas.
