  • by

Welcome to Camden Weddings! In today’s blog post, we are thrilled to share an extraordinary love story that transcends borders and continents. Picture this: two star-crossed lovers, their paths intertwined by fate, finally meet for the very first time at the enchanting St Pancras International in London. Fast forward nine years, and this remarkable couple, bound by the threads of true love, revisits the exact spot where their beautiful journey began. As we celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary, we cannot wait to dive into their captivating tale, filled with romance, resilience, and the power of destiny. Join us as we embark on an unforgettable journey of love, showcasing the indescribable magic that can be found in the most unexpected places.

Firstly, a heartfelt congratulations to Antony & Priscilla Silcock, @SapphiraMusic & @Tonestepa the winners of our Valentine’s Day Photo Shoot Giveaway! These lovebirds recently celebrated their 9 year wedding anniversary at the very spot where their beautiful love story began.

From writing songs together across continents, Melbourne to Bristol, their connection grew stronger each day. Finally, meeting in person at St Pancras International their hearts were inseparable.

To commemorate this milestone, they embarked on a special photo shoot with Sam Lane Photography.

Exploring every corner of St Pancras, they captured the essence of their unique love story with a glass of Moet Chandon champagne at the stunning Searcys St Pancras.

Psst! Stay tuned, as this incredible love story has been immortalised in Sapphira’s autobiography and will soon be adapted into a movie!

Sapphira Music the multi-talented singer, dancer, and burlesque performer, is taking the world by storm once again with the release of her highly anticipated new book, Burlesque or Bust. Known for her captivating stage presence and empowering performances, Sapphira has become a prominent figure in the burlesque world, breaking boundaries and challenging societal norms. Now, with the release of her book, she invites readers on a journey behind the sequins, shedding light on the ups and downs, the glitz and the grit, of a burlesque performer’s life.

Burlesque or Bust offers an intimate glimpse into Sapphira’s personal journey as she unravels the layers of her own stories, dreams, and struggles. With candid storytelling and vivid anecdotes, she dives into the world of burlesque, exploring its rich history, the art of the tease, and the empowerment that comes from embracing one’s sensuality. Through her book, Sapphira hopes to shatter the misconceptions surrounding burlesque and inspire readers to embrace their own unique inner glamour.

The spot, literally, where we did our photo shoot is where Tony and I not only first met, but it’s with Eurostar I was able to complete another important mission! My book ‘Burlesque or Bust‘ references The Spot, which is King’s Cross and St Pancras, it’s where so many incredible meetings and events have taken place.  Possibly one of the most significant was when I caught the Eurostar to Paris to meet the composer of the song that really saved me during my dark time.
