After being together for just shy of two years, Keegan planned a surprise stay at the Crown hotel to celebrate Ellena’s birthday. He arranged for a bottle of champagne to be delivered to the room and suggested recording a video of Ellena with the champagne to capture the moment. Keegan used the opportunity to get down on one knee and popped the question! Ellena stated ‘Of course, I said YES!’ and “it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever. Keegan, being the romantic he is, had made dinner reservations at Cho Cho San, where we had our first date. It was the most perfect night, filled with conversations about our future and our love for one another”.

Our newlyweds spent their day celebrating their love with family and friends on the elegant grounds of Curzon Hall. In the lead up, Ellena said “Personally for me I’m really looking forward to seeing Keegan at the end of aisle, waiting for me, I feel so lucky to become his wife on the 22nd Nov 2024. I can’t wait!!” This moment was so special for the both of them, and they beamed with happiness at being announced husband + wife. In a nod to their proposal, they enjoyed a champagne toast to follow!

In choosing Mark Jay Photography, Ellena says, “I adore the way he captures the raw emotion, the candid photos with family members, candid photos of the day. His photos tell a story”. Following the big day, Ellena kindly says:

“We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day so perfect. You went above and beyond – not just capturing the moments beautifully but helping everything run smoothly throughout the day. Your warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made us feel at ease and let us enjoy every moment to the fullest!! We are so grateful for all the extra ways you helped out like when I kept cramping from my heels and you were always the first person there to help, it didn’t go unnoticed! I’ve received so many compliments from our family & friends about the beautiful person you are”

It was such a delight to capture our newlyweds celebrating and having fun at their reception complete with loads of dancing, Gelato Messina and some stage diving from our bride + groom!
