Hey there! I'm Vicky, a modern calligrapher and signwriter, and I've got an incredible love story to share with you. This one's all about an elopement that went down at Stanage Edge in Derbyshire, and trust me, it's anything but your usual wedding affair. Picture a dramatic blue ruffled dress, handwritten vows, and a jaw-dropping natural backdrop – this elopement was a true testament to the power of love and personal touches.

The Setting

Stanage Edge, this rugged gem in Derbyshire, was the perfect stage for this epic love story. They chose to say their "I dos" at dusk, with the golden sun setting behind them. The panoramic views of rolling hills and rocky outcrops created a backdrop that was nothing short of breathtaking. It was a place where two hearts came together amidst the wonders of nature.

The Bride's Unique Dress

Now, let's talk about the bride's outfit. She was a vision in a dramatic blue ruffled dress from Millia London. Talk about breaking the mould! Her choice of attire showcased her individuality and proved that love can be celebrated in any style. The dress flowed like a waterfall of emotions, perfectly mirroring the bride's vibrant spirit.

Handwritten Vows

As the calligrapher and signwriter, I had the incredible privilege of crafting the vows for the bride and groom. These vows were more than just words; they were pieces of art. With each stroke of my pen, I poured their heartfelt promises onto paper in elegant calligraphy, making their commitment even more special.

The Celebrant-Led Ceremony

The ceremony was led by the amazing Your Story by Lauren Oldfield. She tailored every word to the couple's unique love story, creating a ceremony that was truly authentic and heartfelt. Against the backdrop of Stanage Edge, their love story came alive, intertwined with the beauty of the landscape.

Stunning Photography

All these magical moments were captured by the talented Helen Rose Photography. Her ability to turn fleeting moments into breathtaking images was truly remarkable. Every photo was a testament to the raw emotion and love that enveloped the couple. The dramatic scenery of Stanage Edge served as the perfect canvas for her creativity.
