Intimate Lakeside Ceremony in Marple // Debs & Ollie

This intimate Marple wedding was extra special for us to shoot. Debs was one of Christina’s first friends when she moved to the UK at 18. Not long after, Christina remembers the joy that surrounded Debs as her and Ollie started dating. Unfortunately, life took them in different directions, and the relationship ended.

In Debs’ own words (which she shared beautifully as a surprise during the ceremony), she entered a season of singleness, and by God’s grace, she was content. But she held on to a promise He’d made to her shortly after they split: “If you let go of him, I’ll give him back to you one day.”

10 years later, we had the honour of photographing the fulfilment of God’s promise; and what’s even sweeter is that the lakeside where we took their pictures was actually where Debs was standing when she heard God speak to her. The tattoo on her back was a declaration that God makes everything beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and this stunning wedding day was proof.

Venue: Roman Lakes, Marple
