Barns, buildings and the Bluesmobile - Jodie & Tom's unique handmade wedding

September 15, 2021  •  2 Comments

Well over a year after it was originally planned, after changes of dates and a change of venue, Jodie & Tom finally got to tie the knot last week. It was a really unique day with some thoughtful homemade touches (Jodie is an artist and it totally showed!).

The Chiltern Open Air Museum was a new venue for me, full of rustic charm. One of the guests described the museum as a kind of sanctuary for old buildings - where they go when no one else wants them. With a choice of barns, as well as a gorgeous tin chapel, not only does it give you plenty of choice for your ceremony, but there are also some amazing photography backdrops.

The rings were brought into the ceremony by the cutest page boy, AKA "Ring Security", presented in a case and held in place by Thunderbirds figures. The Thunderbirds also made an appearance on the groomsmen's buttonholes - all from Tom's childhood collection.

Then there was the Bluesmobile - how can you not recreate the iconic Blue Brothers shot when you have that car to play with?!

When you proposition your bride with "now tell me if you not up for this, but I was thinking..." and she replies that she'll happily try anything for a great shot, it makes a photographer's heart sing. Thank you so much Jodie for humouring me when I asked you to climb gates and sit on the bonnet of the car (and huge thanks to Ben, owner of the Bluesmobile who barely batted an eyelid when I asked if the happy couple could climb onto his car)! It was an honour to be a part of your day and to capture the memories for you.

You did a fantastic job love the pictures and you calmed my little granddaughter for the pictures as she had stung her wrist on nettles and you made her laugh when it was our turn for the photos thank you so much

What can we say, Abi is not only a talented photographer, but a lovely person and made us feel at ease throughout the day.

We didn't have an easy run to or big day, with postponements, venue changes all due to the pandemic but Abi's support during all that was reassuring.

Our big day was a dream and we cannot thank Abi enough for being a part of that. Those photos capture a moment in a day we will never forget (and having to wait as long as we did, made our day even more special) We can look at these and relive it all over again.

To those reading this who are looking for a photographer - we cannot sing her praises enough.

We are very grateful Abi,
All the best
Jodie & Tom
