Every love story has a beginning, but I've never believed it should have an ending. Too often, couples get to the end of their proposal or wedding day and quietly ask themselves, "What's next?" At Leon Bagnall Experiences, there's always something next. Let me walk you through what a love story journey with me looks like, from the moment you ask the question to the anniversaries you celebrate long after.
Chapter One: A Guided Proposal
It all begins at Where Two Bloom. You've found the person you want to spend your life with, but you're worried the words won't come out the way you feel them. So we work together, quietly and discreetly, to turn your feelings, memories and words into a love letter.
On the day, I arrive at the place and time you've chosen, introduce myself to your partner and read your love letter aloud just before you propose. I deliberately don't photograph the letter being read, so that moment stays yours alone. Then my camera comes up for the "down on one knee" moment, the "yes!" and every reaction that follows. Polaroids develop in your hands and are tucked into your love letter for you to take home.
Your proposal photos become the very first chapter of your Love Story Album, and you're welcomed into the Love Story Registry. And because the story is only just starting, you also receive a priority reservation and 10% off your elopement with Elope with Leon.
Chapter Two: A Premium Elopement
When you're ready to say "I do", we carry your story across to Elope with Leon. This is an intimate, deeply personalised elopement in North Wales, with a heartfelt ceremony crafted around your relationship and the promises you want to make to each other. I'm your celebrant and your photographer, so the same calm face who was there at your proposal is there again on your wedding day.
Choose a full day (AM to PM) or a half day of photography coverage. Either way, I take care of your planning, drive you between your locations myself, and you receive Polaroid keepsakes and a gift bag to take home. Your elopement photos then go into your Love Story Album as chapter two, sitting right alongside your proposal.
Chapter Three: A Sunset Anniversary
Married life gets busy, and anniversaries can easily slip by. That's exactly why I created Twilight Ceremonies: exclusive summertime celebrations of your marriage, held under a glowing sunset in North Wales or in Ibiza. You might choose a milestone ceremony, a renewal of vows or a relaxed couples sunset shoot, and every celebration comes with Polaroids handed to you that same evening.
If you eloped with me, this chapter is already waiting for you. Couples who had an AM to PM elopement receive their Twilight Ceremonies celebration completely free (100% off), and every other Elope with Leon couple receives 15% off all Twilight Ceremonies packages. It's redeemable anytime and doesn't expire. Your anniversary photos become chapter three of your album.
Ever After
This is where most wedding stories stop, and where yours keeps going. Your Love Story Album is online and printed, and it's yours for life. Add your own photos from holidays at home and abroad, and keep creating new chapters whenever you like.
Every year, the Love Story Registry marks your anniversary with a commemorative letter from me, imagery handpicked from your album and wild flowers delivered to your door. It's the same person who stood beside you at your proposal and your ceremony, still writing your story.
One Face Behind Every Chapter
Rather than juggling a different supplier, photographer and album for every milestone, you have one person who knows your story from the very first conversation. I'm your celebrant and photographer through every experience, so your love story is told in one consistent voice and one photography style. It's a journey designed to flow naturally, from one chapter to the next.
Wherever Your Story Begins
You can start at any chapter. Some couples come to me for a guided proposal, others find me when they're ready to elope, and some are celebrating years of marriage. Whichever chapter you start with, it comes with your Love Story Album and the Love Story Registry, and both carry over from one experience to the next, so it's one album and one registry that grow with you. Wherever you are, there's always a next chapter waiting.
Share where you are in your story on my Plan Your Experience page, or email me at hello@leonbagnallexperiences.co.uk. You send your request, I get in touch, and we confirm and begin. Each part of the journey has its own post too: the Love Story Album, the Love Story Registry and the perks of staying with one celebrant and photographer. Whatever comes next for you both, there's always something with Leon Bagnall Experiences.
