I’d agreed to photograph Randal and Kalyn’s wedding before I knew much of the details of it, so when I asked them a couple of weeks later “By the way, do you have a venue so I can look it up and get some references?” and they said “Oh it’s We The Curious in Bristol and our ceremony is in their Planetarium”, well, I had to actually send it to my partner to check I’d read that correctly. And then almost flip my laptop in delight and excitement.
The Planetarium ceremony was everything you expected it to be, utterly awe inspiring and magnificent. A particular highlight for me was “I Am The Doctor” playing just before the ceremony started, and the wonderful pair walking down the aisle to music from one of my favourite movies: Stardust.
They also decided to read their personal vows to each other during the ceremony, and the contents of them resonated with me quite strongly and I found myself getting rather emotional.
Randal and Kalyn were also truly wonderful people. We’d discovered during a visit to the venue beforehand that I actually get mildly dizzy and motion sick during the Planetarium show (mainly because I am standing and moving around) and I could spot Randal checking to make sure I was okay. And Kalyn arranged for a video from Randal’s best man who was stuck overseas so that he would still be able to do a speech.
I hope these two moments from the day give you an idea on who they are and allow you to be as happy for them as their guests were! Enjoy the images!
