{Win Your Wedding Photography} Shortlist - Danny & Sam

Here I have a little catch up with Danny & Sam who have been shortlisted for the {Win Your Wedding Photography} Competition. They are getting married at Misterton Church, and then onto The Stables, High Melton on 29th March 2012.

How did you meet?
We met whilst I was on a friend's 'hen-do' funnily enough!! Danny stole my bubbles from me on the night and kept them in a safe place (hence why we are having bubbles at the wedding!!).


Why did you choose your Wedding Date?
We initially chose Friday 13th as our wedding date but had to change it because of Danny's committments to the Royal Marines.

Where is your Venue?
We are getting married in Misterton Church where we have bought our house and my parents have lived for 10 years. We are then having our evening reception at The Stables, High Melton.

Any more information regarding the Wedding?We will be having a guard of honour at the church but with a twist. We will be having Royal Marines holding silver swords but there will also be firemen holding axes as I am a retained fire-fighter in the village where we live


How long have you been engaged?We have been engaged since Christmas Day 2010

How did the proposal come about?I had no idea that Danny was going to propose as I was sat watching the soaps on Christmas Day evening when he suggested going for a walk. We trekked in the snow to the lake where we were staying in Cornwall and he set up a torch at the top of the steps looking down onto the lake. We sat in the beautiful arch way and that is when he popped the question!! Even more surprisingly, Danny had the ring that I saw 12 months before and fell in love with (he had kept it in my brother's gun cabinet for 12 months!!). When we got back to the log cabin where we were staying, our families had opened the champagne as they were all in on the whole thing!! :-)


What would winning this competition mean to you?Winning this competition would mean everything to us as we would have the memories to treasure forever (including crying over the photos when Danny has been called to duty!!). Words can't express just how amazing it would be to have you there on our special day, capturing every moment.

Danny & Sam

Sam's Origional Email:We think that we deserve to win this competition because we have both had to work so hard to pay for the wedding. Danny is in the Royal Marines and has spent 6 months away this year to help to pay for our dream day. To win this competition would be a real treat for us both but more than anything, some lovely memories of our day would be something for me to cherish when he has to go away again.
