This past weekend I had the pleasure of Photographing Brittany and Greg’s Welsh backyard wedding =)! The entire wedding was DIY and everyone pitched in to help make this day happen. Brittany and Greg saw our work after we Photographed Jen & Kyle’s Renaissance faire wedding last year. (Where does time go!) I love the fact I work with so many artists. Brittany and Greg met through an old art website called DeviantArt. The same place I got my serious start in photography.
We arrived at Brittany’s parents house to find two huge tents out behind there house where we started our day photographing all the DIY details that Brittany had put together. The centerpieces were primarily pumpkins which her family picked so they could take home later. Their “Guestbook” was a signing tree. (Literally!) Greg went into the woods and dug up a tree for it. They had custom mason jars for drinks, created by etsy artist EngravingsOnDemand. And there were mums everywhere.
Getting ready was across the street at their neighbor’s home. Their neighbor was also the one that made the gorgeous ceremony arch by hand. The bridesmaids all wore fun colorful dresses by Etsy Designer Moonbootstudios. The line is called Hardley Dangerous Couture. Instead of a white gown, Brittany chose to wear white accents to her red gown, “The Cherrybomb Swing Dress.”
We quickly finished her details and head to the Ceremony. The bridal party rode in on her Uncle’s tractor, all dressed up for Halloween. (He also made all the bbq for dinner!) and they read their own vows, hand fasted, and were married. Most epic part of my day? When the final fantasy victory song played after they kissed. Why didn’t we think of that???
The rest of the day was pretty laid back. Everyone went straight to reception to eat. We finished up family portraits and all the typical reception stuff. In the evening they lit up a bonfire and ate amores the rest of the evening until everyone one by one head home. It was such a relaxed and fun wedding day.
