A diy village hall wedding picture story

I joined Hannah & Pablo’s charming DIY wedding day at Emily & Pablo’s house, obviously minus Pablo who was preparing elsewhere supported by his brother. Their enviable camper van was on the drive prepped and ready to whisk them off post wedding on a European surf touring honeymoon. A couple with priorities I could understand. Room for one more?

The wedding ceremony at St.Peter’s church just off the market place in the centre of Petersfield got off to a hilarious start as initially the wrong track played for Hannah’s entrance. A touching ceremony followed and the clearly very happy couple were then smothered in love and congratulations before we all climbed aboard a red double decker and headed along country lanes to Buriton Village Hall where Emily & Pablo had lead family and friends in a grand project to create a super DIY wedding venue. The sun shone and the outdoor fun included bouncy castle duelling ( with a sign announcing - ‘Gladiators, take your shoes off!’), a coconut shy, and a very competitive all guest tug of war. The food was homemade and delicious, the speeches were wonderful, and I left as the sun dipped behind the South Downs. I’d do it all again. Some of my favourite pictures from the day are below.
