American photographer Zackery Michael and British model Lola McDonnell met via work some years ago, when Lola moved to New York to pursue her career Stateside. When Zackery later posted a picture he had taken of her, the creatives realised they had friends in common. It took months to get a date in the diary, owing to their busy travel schedules. So much so that when they finally met, it felt like a blind date.
The proposal took place in Tulum. Lola, who was booked on a modelling job right before they swapped the NY chill for Mexico’s heat, had no idea. “It was beautiful: a villa on the beach, with waves crashing at our feet,” shares Zackery. “Nobody had clothes on; it was perfect.” Lola says he nailed the ring: a single diamond Tiffany & Co. design dating back to 1910. “I love how classic it is, and the fact that it’s vintage and sustainable is a huge bonus for me,” she adds.
Lola wore a nude Khaite dress from Catherine Holstein’s autumn/winter 2019 collection – “when I first saw it on the runway I was obsessed” – because she knew she didn’t want a classic white wedding look. “It felt soft and pretty, yet a little rock‘n’roll, with its structure and sheerness,” explains the bride. “I also loved the vintage feel it had to it; I’ve always been about those ‘forever’ staple pieces to keep in your wardrobe. My Khaite dress will be worn again and again.
In the end, they were too busy for any outfit changes. Lola whipped off the underskirt of her tulle Khaite dress and added some vintage diamanté heels for good measure, while Zackery saved his sexy Kyosuke black polka-dot silk shirt for his honeymoon in Greece. Close friend Reino from The Great Frog London made them custom wedding rings with a special quote engraved on the inside of each band.
Cheers!
