Chris&Lyndsey - First Half
So here it is, the Phillips/Smyth wedding. A wedding that was long awaited by many folks…
Lyndsey had hoped for a white winter wedding, as unpredictable as the weather is here, it was actually looking like the chances of snow were high. But the big freeze unfroze, and everything turned to mushy slush… As important as these things may seem before your big day, it really doesn’t matter, by the time you are ready on the morning, all you want to do is see your groom….

So, we are ready to let you take a peak into the wonderful wedding that was the Phillips wedding… Keep your eyes peeled for photographs taken by Gillian Higgins. She came with me on the morning and to the ceremony of this wedding to see how she liked it…
She loved it.


iPhones to the rescue… Google search, ‘How to tie a double windsor?’


Jennifer was the hairdresser for the morning, she did all the girls’ hair and they were all looking fantastic. Miss Emily-Rose really enjoyed it and couldn’t help having a little peek now and again…


Lynsdey was so organised for the day she was able to just sit and enjoy having her hair and make-up done…

As it was a Christmassy time for a wedding (just 3 days after) We tried to bring a little bit of a festive feel to some of the details….

Chris had this beautiful bracelet made especially for Lyndsey for the day… I loved it! Perfectly romantic and I am sure she can wear it after the wedding it’s much to pretty not to. If not, I might steal it… ;)

The beautiful flowers… <3

Miss Emily-Rose was getting some cuddles from Ethnie (mother of the bride)…




While Lyndsey was having the final touches to her make up, she gave all her girls little gifts…

The girls were thinking about heading out in the bathrobes, sure why not!!!
Who needs wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses.. It’s what’s on the inside that counts…
Unfortunately, there was nothing on the inside of the bathrobes so they got changed…

Love, love, this photo that Gillian took.. There were a few more great ones but due to constantly over cramming the blog I had to choose one. And this was it.
She managed to sneak up on them without them noticing, I think she’s used to this because of her little Olivia.

A cracking speech…. unlike anything we’d heard before, good job Chris!

Gillian also got this photo, you can see the Christmas lights twinkling on the window as the car comes around the corner… <3 Lovely





This is the moment Chris’ Mum said how proud she was of her son and lots of other lovely stuff…. photographers dream!

Ethnie is clearly a very sentimental person.. there are so many photos all over the house of everyone that she loves. Gillian and I both melted when we saw this little arrangement at the top of the stairs. I love all the different frames and vintage photographs… WIN!


This photo made me laugh so much. Gillian was hilarious on the morning of the wedding. She had this idea for a photo, but unfortunately the door wasn’t playing ball. What’s a woman in distress going to do? Ask the MAN of the house of course…
It’s not as if he had a million other things to do, but Gillian sweet talked him and got her way, she even got a photo of James doing manly things on a girly day. So I think this deserves ultimate brownie points…

And this is the little photo, I think its brilliant. Lyndseys last few moments of being engaged….









Team Usher.









A wee bit of excitement as it’s all about to happen…






The flower girl and the two little boy ushers are extremely good looking I hear you say….? Must be because they have a gorgeous photographer for a cousin.. ;)
Lots of love to my wee Scroggie cousins, Emily-Rose, Glen, Kyle & Caleb… (I would get shouted at if I didn’t put something nice up about them but I do really love them)
There are still more photos to come from this wedding, please come back for more :)
