I'm Leon, an accredited celebrant and professional photographer based in North Wales. Leon Bagnall Experiences didn't arrive all at once. It grew, one experience at a time, from a single question I kept asking myself: what happens to a couple's love story after the big day? This is the story of how three experiences became one connected journey.
Where It Started: Elope with Leon
My journey began in North Wales with Elope with Leon, a luxury elopement business offering couples personalised ceremonies with photography included. Based in Llandudno, I officiated and photographed couples on windswept mountaintops, sandy beaches and beside calm lakes, crafting ceremonies around their relationship and the promises they wanted to make.
I loved every minute of it. But I kept noticing the same thing: once the day was over, so was the experience.
Keeping the Experience Alive: Twilight Ceremonies
As my confidence grew in the wedding industry, I wanted to give couples a space to honour their anniversaries. I didn't want it all to finish after the elopements. I asked myself, "How can I keep the experience alive for couples in a unique and memorable way that works alongside Elope with Leon?"
That's when I established Twilight Ceremonies, where couples celebrate their marriage in the warm summer breeze beneath golden sunsets, in North Wales or in Ibiza.
Closing the Gap: Where Two Bloom
With support in place for marriages and anniversaries, there was one piece missing: the very beginning. A proposal deserves more than nervous words, so I created Where Two Bloom. Together, we turn your feelings into a love letter that I read aloud before you propose, and then I capture the "yes!" and everything that follows.
Bringing It All Together
With three experiences in place, I wanted them to feel like one journey rather than three separate bookings. So I created Leon Bagnall Experiences to bring them together, with a few things that connect every chapter:
One Love Story Album that follows you across every experience and beyond.
The Love Story Registry, which marks your anniversary each year with a letter, imagery and flowers.
One celebrant and photographer, so your story is told in one consistent voice and style.
My vision was to build an ecosystem of experiences that, to me, is like nothing before it: more than one-and-done moments, with celebrant-led experiences that take couples on love-packed adventures from their proposal to ever after. You can read how it all fits together in From Proposal to Ever After.
Designed for Couples Who Want More
Leon Bagnall Experiences is for couples who want to tell their love stories beautifully, who are seeking more than one-and-done moments, and who value comfort, beauty and simplicity. It's for those who want to adventure to North Wales and beyond. For me, luxury isn't just about what you see. It's about peace of mind, authenticity and attention to detail.
