Sophie & James's Wedding

Our Story

Sophie and James met at a mutual friend's dinner party in 2021 and have been inseparable ever since. After two years of adventures together - from hiking in the Scottish Highlands to getting hopelessly lost in Lisbon - James proposed on their favourite walk along the Thames at sunset. Today we celebrate the next chapter.

The Wedding Party

Oliver Bennett

Best Man

James and Oliver met at university and have been inseparable ever since. Oliver is the one person guaranteed to raise the biggest laughs - and the most embarrassing toast.

Charlotte Clarke

Maid of Honour

Sophie's best friend since secondary school. Charlotte has been there for every milestone and is the one who spotted James first (and generously said nothing).

Amelia Hughes

Bridesmaid

A dear friend from Sophie's art-history degree, Amelia is the creative heart of the bridal party and responsible for the stunning florals on the bridesmaids' bouquets.

Isabella Turner

Bridesmaid

Sophie's cousin and lifelong co-conspirator. Isabella flew in from Sydney especially for today and we are so grateful she made the journey.

George Mitchell

Groomsman

James's oldest school friend and now his wing-man on the golf course every Saturday. George is the most dependable person in any room.

Thomas Walker

Groomsman

A colleague turned close friend, Thomas has been James's rock through thick and thin. He cooks a mean BBQ and never misses a punchline.
