{ Rhian + Toan} | A Fun & Colourful DIY Wedding | Gloucestershire

Posted in Wedding 30 comments

Summer of 2011 was awesome & crazy at the same time, and I realised I haven’t been blogging some of my favourite weddings because I was worried I wouldn’t do them justice in the madness of wedding season. It’s never too late to start so here goes…

I love the friendships I gain from my job and Rhian & Toan are two very special people. It’s not just how relaxed and easy-going they are or how much joy & happiness emanate from them, you can tell they are just made for each other (which makes the necklace Rhian wore on the day even more apt – it’s a peapod, cos they’re two peas in a pod!).

And just like them, their wedding was really special – it was truly a labour of love, all the details are DIY-ed by Rhian & Toan and their family and the day was one big celebration of love & laughter. I was a DIY bride myself so I know how much time & effort goes into planning one, and most things you see here were handmade – I hope this weddings provides some ideas and inspirations for all you future brides.

Of course a great wedding does not a great marriage make, but Rhian & Toan are truly a “happy couple”, I dare you to look through these images and not smile once!:-)

One of the most comical moments of my photography career… the cows decided to do what the birds and the bees do (check out Rhian’s expression when she spotted it LOL), they then got spooked as we walked closer and crossed the road, but no… mister bull couldn’t even wait till he got over to the other side of the street to carry on! Priceless.

Really beautiful images Shell, and you have captured so much! Fantastic details, love the pastel colours… did I say beautiful and fantastic already?!

Oh, they still make me cry! You did such an amazing job, so much talent, and you captured such a fantastic day. Thank you all who have commented you’re too kind, and you have made my day. Oh, and for Kat below – the jacket was kept a surprise until the day, I had no idea he was going to pull that one out the bag – but I was very impressed.

Kat BramanJanuary 23, 2012 - 5:59 PM

this might be the most adorable wedding I’ve ever seen. I adore the way you shot it. So my joy and fun throughout. And I have a small crush on her dad. The jacket is the bees knees.
