Our Love Story
We met through college back in 2013 and we've been together just shy of 7 years (7 next month!) As fate would have it, ended up in the same class studying psychology together for all of 6 months before Lucy dropped out of the course but luckily we'd already managed to get to know each other before that point.Lucy & Mike
Proposal
It was something that had been on my mind for a while and after a few quiet beers and hearing of Ash's plan for a ghost challenge shoot, it just seemed the perfect opportunity to make the shoot extra special. I asked if it was possible to turn this shoot into a surprise proposal, we found a gorgeous location, the suppliers pulled out ALL the stops after finding out & better yet we had the cover story since Lucy had already agreed (sort of) The endless battle of trying to get lucy to be excited for a shoot took a few weeks but was clearly worth it in the end when the plan went off without a hitch and she hadn't expected anything. We spent all morning taking the normal shoot photos and then insisted on lucy having a few solo shots still in her ghost costume while I was waiting nervously behind her. Clearly the nerves got to me too much when I put the ring on the wrong hand but the thought is what counts!Lucy & Mike
Photographer
The shoot couldn't have gone better if we had tried, and we couldn't have done it without all of Ash's suppliers pulling out all the stops Ash spent time scouring locations each weekend and even though we ended up having to march through Sherwood Forest carrying a small halloween store on our backs, the location he had eventually found was absolutely perfect. My favourite moment personally was seeing Lucys reaction both in the moment and after while the shock sank in.Lucy & Mike
