DIY wedding ideas

Hair and makeup artists, florists and cake makers are great, but you don’t have to have them!  Why not do-it-yourself? That’s what this lovely couple and their family did and it worked a treat. Christina and her sisters took care of the makeup, aunty stepped up with hair.  Many hands made light work of the wedding cake. Even the boys got involved with flower arrangements.  Table decorations, crocheted bunting, even the main wedding meal itself was all lovingly hand-made and served up by the family.  Sustainable, ethical and beautiful. 

Less of the formalities. More of the fun.

Some people go all in for the traditional wedding formalities.  Tried and tested.  Stick to the formula.  Others, like George and Christina here, eschew all of that.  Conformity isn’t their thing.  And I’m down with that.  When you focus on doing the right things, rather than doing things right, then the process trumps the outcome.  But you know what? What they created, was magic.

Thank you Christina and George for choosing me to photograph your wonderful alternative wedding in the Yorkshire Dales.

I shoot the day as I find it, with minimal posing and interruption from myself.
