Natalie and Stella – Wedding Ring Making
I’m so excited to show you the photos from a recent shoot when Natalie and Stella came to my Brighton workshop and made their wedding rings. We were so lucky that Gemma from Betti Confetti Photo was able to come and document the wedding ring making with her clever wedding photography skills too.
Gemma photographed the day
If you’ve been following me on Instagram you’ll know I now run wedding ring workshops where couples can do all the wedding ring making themselves. With all the expert advice from me on hand you don’t need any prior experience. Well, earlier this year I took part in the happily ever after wedding fair at Brighton Racecourse and chatted to couples about my wedding ring workshops. At the fair I shared a stand with Gemma from Betti Confetti Photo. You’ve probably heard me mention Gemma before as she has done some wonderful product photography for me and more recently a successful model jewellery photo shoot too. You may have read my blog post interview with her here?
At the wedding fair Gemma and I teamed up to ran a giveaway contest for one couple to win a make your own wedding rings workshop including a pre-wedding photo shoot. One of the couples we chatted to at the wedding fair in Brighton were Natalie, from Wilding Wedding Planners, and her partner Stella. Natalie and Stella, who are currently planning their True Romance inspired wedding, entered our competition and won!
It was a giggle
After discussing what ring designs Natalie and Stella wanted we arranged for them to come and make their wedding rings at my jewellery workshop on the border of Brighton and Hove. We had such a fun morning heating, hammering, soldering and polishing the metal. By the end of the session they had produced the silver and gold wedding rings that they had dreamt of.
Time to celebrate!
Once Natalie and Stella had completed their wedding rings they celebrated with a glass of bubbly whilst they tried on their rings.
Love was in the air
Delighted with the results Natalie and Stella wandered off exploring the nooks of Brighton where Gemma captured some beautiful photos of them admiring their newly made wedding rings. I love the inscriptions they added to their rings!
The love between this pair is pretty obvious and I really wish them all the best for their wedding next year. I’m so happy to have met Natalie and Stella and to have helped them to design and make their wedding rings for their big day.
Could you do it?
In four short hours, having been guided step by step through the wedding ring making process, Natalie and Stella handmade their rings from scratch. They had no previous experience of ring making or traditional jewellery making techniques. The resulting rings are totally what they were after. The wedding rings made in sterling silver, rose gold and yellow gold are unique to them and very cool!

It’s been an exciting time recently at Elizabeth Anne Norris jewellery, we’ve had the pleasure to meet and work with a lovely lady called Sophie Sommer. Sophie has helped with our latest jewellery photoshoot and I’m so happy with the results. I asked her to tell us a little bit about herself so you can get to know the person behind these beautiful pics…
Meet Sophie Sommer
My name is Sophie Sommer, and I am a professional model. I’ve been doing this job for about 2 years now and it’s my passion. I model mainly fashion and swimwear and occasionally do some acting.
I got scouted when I worked as a receptionist at a hotel in Brighton, and had a test photoshoot which I enjoyed more than anything else I’ve ever done. I realised straight away that modelling makes me happy, I’ve always had a passion for fashion and beauty and secretly always dreamed about working in the industry, but I never thought I’d make it. Well, now I am signed with two elite modelling agencies in Brighton and London. It’s a dream come true and I truly feel like the luckiest person on earth.

My inspiration, is actually inspiring other people. I always suffered from an incredibly low self esteem and feel ugly and unhappy with my style. Now, I’ve realised that there’s only ever one YOU, and beauty starts the moment you begin to be yourself and let your colours shine. And thinking that my story might help other people to find themselves, inspires me to do more.
My style always changes, but right now i think I’m in my Artsy, Pastel phase. It’s summer soon! I like white and pastel tones combined with trendy, sometimes sporty shoes and cute jewellery.
I spend a lot of time with my partner and my 7 week old Kitten at the moment, she’s so cute. I enjoy working out and going for long walks in the countryside, spend time with my loved ones and explore new places. Another big passion of mine is art, I like drawing and painting, especially landscapes and animal portraits.
“I would LOVE to model for victoria secret”
I am currently working on getting my YouTube Channel up and running, and creating lots of content for it, which is an exciting and fun experience.
I would LOVE to model for victoria secret, I’ve always dreamed about it. The wings, the lovely fashion is just so magical. Unfortunately I’m too small for the runway, but who knows. Maybe one day I will grow, haha!
Thank you for filling us in Sophie
