Colourful, DIY back garden weddings
Bunting your mum sewed, a cake from your best mate, mismatched chairs, and the dog wandering through the ceremony. Back garden weddings are my absolute favourite, because everything in them means something.
What it feels like
It’s relaxed, homemade and full of people you love. I’ll capture the handmade details and the in-between moments: the kids running riot, the first dance on the lawn, your cat judging everyone from the window.
Digital, with film and Polaroid added in
Real colour, real moments, and a bit of film nostalgia that suits a garden party perfectly.
