When i spotted (excuse the pun!!) this wedding on the lovely Anna Hardy’s blog i swooned and wished that this was my day. Quirky, fun, original and oh so chic, this is a wedding to inspire all us brides to be. Thanks to the lovely Anna for these wonderful images and thanks to the Lisa and Tom for letting us show their amazing big day!! Here is what Anna had to say about the day;

“It was everything I believe a wedding should be – hopelessly romantic, loads of fun, raucous, emotional, hilarious, colourful, lively, beautiful, unique…. it was just magical. Tom and Lisa are friends of ours (this has been a monster year for our friends getting married!) and when we got the wedding invitation I knew it would be a fantastic day. When they then asked me to do the photos, I was even more excited. I knew their feelings about weddings and knew it would be exactly the sort of day I love. And they didn’t disappoint!! The wedding was so full of character and romance, and free of pretentiousness and extravagance – it was a really down to earth occasion with the focus all on relaxed, carefree and genuine love and laughs. It was completely true to Lisa and Tom and really reflected them as a couple and as people. I also loved that Tom maintained his usual wry smile throughout most of the pictures! Lisa’s outfit was breathtaking and completely suited her and her sunny personality – the only thing I didn’t like about it was that it made me regret that I didn’t get married in polka dots!”

“When Tom Proposed to me we were at the Glastonbury Festival in the middle of a mass hand binding ceremony in which we had to jump over a broom!! We had just spent 5 days sharing a tent when he handed me a plastic flower ring and asked me if I fancied it. The experience of such a lovely personal proposal set the feel for how we planned the rest of our wedding.”

“Basically we wanted a day with no pretentions, pomp or circumstance. We wanted a day filled with fun, laughter and love. And this leads me easily onto our photographer Anna Hardy. Anna is a good friend but also an amazingly talented photographer. She has the ability to capture and bottle the emotions of the day. The fun, spirit and again love and laughter of the day are all there captured forever for us to look back on when we are grey and wrinkly. Anna put us both at ease and a lot of the time we didn’t realise she was taking pictures of us. She’s amazing!”

“All in all our day was about us as a couple and sharing it with people who we love. It was not about a competition with anyone else. It was not about wedding cars or table arrangements as this is not our style. It was about me and Tom getting married.”
