People always ask me what makes an 'alternative wedding'. I think a lot of them assume that the label must only apply to the most 'out-there', wacky and crazy weddings and that it's all jumping out of planes or all-out goth themed days. While, of course, I adore featuring those types of weddings, I also really love sharing the ones that just have a few personal, quirky touches. Just like Corbyn & Lucas'.Read more...

This afternoon's shoot is simple, but sometimes that's really all you need. I love that this bridal session is JUST about the girl and how gorgeous she is. No bells and whistles, no OTT styling experience, no extra STUFF. It's just her, being herself and looking totally amazing!Read more...

Natalie and Aaron wanted a small wedding, that was just for them. They were married at Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne with just nine guests. "The inspiration for our wedding was to have a low key, romantic elopement with beautiful spring flowers all around us", the bride said. "We had originally planned a wedding for around 80 guests which was meant to happen next July, but after I became very anxious and stressed we decided to drop that in favour of our little ceremony. By doing a small ceremony we saved thousands of dollars too."Read more...

Kirsty and Mike were married on Friday 31st July at Barmbyfields Barn in York. They chose that date because it was a Blue Moon (the 2nd full moon in a month which only happens every three years) which is said to be a very powerful and magical time to get married.Read more...

Claire and Chris were married in June at The Dome in Worthing. The inspiration for the wedding was to have a small, intimate day with their closest friends and family. "We wanted to feel surrounded by love from those dearest to us", said the bride. "We had 31 guests and found this to be the perfect number. We had plenty of time to speak, hug, laugh, cry and dance with all of them."Read more...

British-born Aisling and Australian Jeremiah met in Vancouver. Although they now live in Australia, they wanted to go back to where they first met to be married. "Our wedding theme was 'Two Worlds Collided', began the bride. "The INXS song of the same name was how it all began it was our song from the day we met. It suits us because our personalities and tastes are very different. We are from two different countries. We had two different wedding locations and I ended up with two wedding outfits."Read more...

Magda and David wanted a simple autumnal wedding with lots of warm colours. Their reception was held in a restaurant with gold chandeliers and they decorated the tables with ivy and leaves. "We wanted the wedding to feel like we were just at home", the bride said. "Our dress code was 'whatever makes you feel relaxed' and we made almost everything ourselves."Read more...

Tara and Aaron had a woodland wedding in Canada. They wanted their day to feel natural, organic and to be as enjoyable for their guests as possible. "The theme for the day was really brought to life when I chose my wedding dress", Tara said. "It was dip-dyed so that it had a very subtle purple ombre. That was the moment that our colour palette was chosen. We used lavender, grey, white and green. We wanted everything to look very natural since we were in the woods."Read more...

There's just something about a Vegas elopement. Yes, for many people it might seem like a cliché, but I never fail to get excited about seeing a super cool, super in love couple getting hitched on their own terms. After all, there's nowhere else in the world quite like Las Vegas!Read more...

Emily and Glenn were married at the bride's childhood home. She wore her grandmother's wedding dress and they wanted to make sure everything they did minimised waste. "Our wedding inspiration was to use second-hand, borrowed, vintage and thrift store finds", Emily explained, "We really focused on re-purposing things for the day. This meant incorporating vintage furniture as seating and using items my father had collected over the last 30 years as décor. Everything was DIY but since we did not want to buy anything new we stayed away from crafting and mostly decorated with old lanterns and vintage furniture. We also borrowed a lot of stuff from friends and family so that we didn't have to buy brand new things."Read more...

Who says only the bride can wear white? I think this all-white bridal party proves that isn't the case! Don't they all look FANTASTIC!? The bridesmaids in the same colour as the bride wasn't the only unique thing about Harriet and Jesse's wedding though. They styled the day in a way that truly reflected them which meant pineapples, flamingos and fireworks! They day was also held at a friend's house on the Scottish borders.Read more...

Ben and Rosie's fun-filled July wedding has a summer festival and retro kitsch vibe. "Above everything, we wanted our day to be fun," said the bride. "It hard to pick one theme because it just turned out being everything that was rattling around in my brain! However we were inspired by the 1950s and 60s and anything cute and handmade."Read more...

Oh Danni and Ben, your wedding gives me LIFE. I am so excited to share it on the blog today. This gorgeous heavily-tattooed pair were hitched in Maidstone, at a venue called Kent Life. "Our wedding theme was a bit of a mixture of 1950s, rural farm life and a tea party!" said Danni. "We love the 1950s anyway, I have a huge collection of dresses already and we just love the music and the dancing. I really love that our wedding was personal to us and wasn't generic."Read more...
