Twelve new partners, and this might be our most fun cohort yet. A photo booth, a dress that can change colour, a jeweller who'll make you something nobody else has. Curated, not crowded.
Viva La Booth
Entertainment, Yorkshire and the North West. Founded by professional photographers, Viva La Booth brings its original oak photo booth, complete with live-view touch screen and studio-quality lighting. Perfect for the Bride who wants her reception photos to look as good as the ones from the actual ceremony.
LIFE by Pippa Mackenzie
Stationery and photobooks, working worldwide. LIFE turns wedding photographs into a bespoke, luxury heirloom coffee table book, designed and curated as a piece of art rather than a standard album. Perfect for the Bride who wants her wedding to end up somewhere better than a shelf gathering dust.
Blackacre

Named one of ELLE's Top 12 UK wedding photographers, Emma-Jane brings a fashion-inspired, editorial eye to documentary wedding photography from London and the Cotswolds.

Georgia Rachael Photography
Photography, UK, Europe and worldwide. Georgia shoots on both digital and 35mm film from her base in Norfolk, with a focus on authentic storytelling. Perfect for the Bride who wants a handful of frames that feel like a memory rather than a photo.

Founded by Justine Gibbins, a 2023 Bride herself, Love Stories Live captures a wedding day in real time, candid content shot on nothing more than an iPhone. Perfect for the Bride who wants it live on Instagram before her guests have even found the after party, not six months later.
The Briderie
Bridal, South East. Founded by Fiona, The Briderie is a contemporary bridal studio in Tunbridge Wells, curating a fashion-forward edit of UK designers including Unbridled Studio and Clover London. Perfect for the Bride who wants a fitting appointment that feels like a treat, not a scene from a bridal reality show.
Studio Phini
Bridal redesign, London.

Venue, South East. A 12-acre Georgian manor and walled garden in Deal, Kent, hosting only a select few weddings each year. Perfect for the Bride who refuses to share her venue's Instagram grid with someone else's wedding from the week before.
House of Furn
Styling and design, South East. Founded in 2019 and curated by Pippa, House of Furn brings timeless, style-inspired rental furniture and bars to weddings, from lounge sets to full bar builds. Perfect for the Bride who wants her reception to look like a shoot, not a marquee full of rented chairs.
