Freya & Lena

Seven months, start to finish, which is quick for us. Freya and Lena knew exactly what they wanted, which helps: candlelight, the people they love, and nothing that looked like it was trying.

The design work was subtraction. A gallery is already a room that knows how to hold attention, so we took things away until what remained had to matter: one long table, winter greenery cut that morning, and four hundred candles that took two people five hours and one very patient fire officer to realise.

The ceremony was in the round. Nobody sat further than four rows from the couple, and nobody needed a microphone.
