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

Posted in Wedding 25 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!:-)

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.

Who says you can’t have fun outdoor in winter? Jaime & Steve came out for their engagement session in the park just a few week before Christmas and fun was definitely had by all. Can’t wait to shoot your wedding in April, guys! x

P.S. I am a little obssessed with the animation at the end of this post :-p
