On the chill factor vibes, this gay summer wedding got 11/10. 🤩

That reflects the nature of the two grooms, Dan and Huw. They had the great wisdom to know what was important to them and what wasn’t, and to include all those things that were and none of the things that weren’t.

Years ago… two years now… during the first summer after the start of the pandemic, a few of us wedding vendors got itchy to create. We had taken a hit in bookings that year, and even though things perked up a bit in the summer, we were LONGING to get immersed in community and creativity.

Moreover, Christina of KnifeySpooney (and the mastermind behind this styled shoot), really wanted to showcase an eco-friendly, sustainable approach to micro-weddings.

Not sure how to best celebrate your love? Quirky Love is here to offer up some unusual options, because who doesn’t want a memorable celebration. Pairing a celebration that suits your personalities are our favourite events to photograph.

Flowers have been a key visual aspect of weddings since Roman times, where garlands represented fertility, fidelity, and new beginnings. Although during the Middle Ages, herbs & spices were added to banish evil spirits. Modern bouquets can be personalised based on the colour, shape, scent or symbolism, while providing a lush visual effect. And what could be more perfect for a photographer than that?

Oh and we almost forgot to mention the ever-popular bouquet toss, this activity always produces fun shots!

It’s super easy when couples choose to get ready in the same venue, either together or in different suites.

It’s easy for me, I guess, because I can run between the two places and take photographs without hiring a second shooter. Though having a second shooter is super fun, because we have so much fun on the wedding day. So… I guess what I’m saying is - don’t worry about what the photographer needs, and just schedule your wedding day the way it makes sense for you.

Anyway, Maire and Wendi were in different suites at Pangea house, but because this is an old converted and renovated Inn, there are charming passages you need to traverse to get from one suite to another.

And then the question is: which suite to go to first?

Well… this season was certainly one for the books!

I don't even know where to begin, so I'm just going to do it in sequence, to be fair to all the beautiful couples I met and photographed this year…

…and so that I don't miss anything that was super important.

Here we go! 🤩

At their ceremony, Sarah played the ukulele and sang a beautiful rendition of Ingrid Michaelson's "Giving Up" for Oliver. LOTS OF TEARS were shed. Rings exchanged, and a kiss to seal the deal and it was OFFICIAL: THEY WERE MARRIED!
