Jen & Kim’s DIY Autumn Alternative Medieval Themed Wedding!

The Happy Couple

I had the pleasure of shooting my little sisters wedding on November 5th this year! Jen and Kim have been together for about 3 years and Jen has a gorgeous little boy called Douglas, who thinks Kim is the best person in the whole world. I was honoured be asked to photograph their wedding, although I wanted to socialise with family and friends too, so I also brought along some fab photographer friends of mine, Charlie Davies and Monica Bazzani, to help!

A DIY Medieval themed wedding in Autumn…

My sis Jen is very creative and crafty, so it was no surprise when she decided, to keep costs down, that she would make pretty much all of it herself and be all of her wedding suppliers (apart from the band and the photographer!). There were pumpkins as it was just after Halloween, and flower jars made out of Golden Syrup pots! The Meade Hall gave a great base for the theme, as it’s a medieval style hall. Everything else was planned from that, and the time of year with all the Autumn colours. Jen even made her own dress (and amazing corset with leaf detail) to go with the theme, as well as a fabulous cloak to go over her dress and keep her warm outside.

The Venue – The Crown & Cushion

Jen and Kim chose The Meade Hall at Crown and Cushion in Minley, Surrey as it suited their Medieval theme perfectly.

Highlights of the day

There were so many highlights in the day! Jen had her best friend, Maisie, give her away, as she said she wanted one soul mate to give her to another (how amazing is that?!)
We all helped make Leaf confetti and sat down before the wedding day cutting out heart shapes in the leaves.
Fireworks!!! Who doesn’t like fireworks?!
The band – Flashheart – was probably the best highlight! Jen and Kim loved them as they played at my other sister’s wedding the previous year and they’re just their taste in music – classic rock tunes with a good mix of heavy metal! They had the whole crowd moshing on the dance floor!
