Doctor Who Wedding: Lori & Will

Posted March 24, 2015 at 8:00 am in Doctor Who Wedding

To say that this is a Doctor Who wedding is just too simple – it’s actually a Doctor Who/Steampunk/Victorian wedding at the Windsor Grange Hall, with, you know, all of Lori and Will’s personalities thrown in there! You may remember Lori and Will from a couple posts ago, with their engagement session. Lori and Will are definitely an offbeat couple! 🙂 One of the best things about Lori, though, is just how open and loving she is – she kept her smile on all day, and even found the time for an extended chat with me as the reception was winding up! I’m facebook friends with VERY few of my clients these days and I’m always happy to see her in my newsfeed.

By far, the highlight of this wedding (other than the deep, wonderful love between Lori and Will) is the DIY aspect of it. They are both DIY fiends. Lori, in particular, was already obsessed with crafts, so the DIY wedding was a natural extension. Handmade flowers, handmade signs, handmade favors… it goes on forever! And let’s not overlook Will’s badass handmade TARDIS! The drama tech carpenter in me was pretty giddy to see that piece of construction!

So, let’s start this beautiful wedding with one of my favorite panoramas to date (that light!!!):

We started by getting ready at Lori’s parents’ farm…!

All steampunk accessories handmade by the groom!!!

We finished getting ready at the park where we were taking portraits and at one point we had Lori on a picnic table trying to get enough pull for her corset!

All the guests had these to wave instead of rice or bubbles.

What can I say? I’m a sucker for the ground level, tall trees shot.

Not pictured, for brevity’s sake, Lori and Will also included a handfasting, which we all know is always a tradition near and dear to my heart.

I don’t normally share a lot of family photos, but I wanted to show how into the theme everyone was!

Flowers and steamguns!

The Girl Who Waited and The Last Centurion. A must for Amy/Rory fans, for sure!

Cake baked by a close friend of Lori and Will’s! The corset layer is a brilliant idea!

Will’s handbuilt TARDIS I keep raving about, but seriously, LOOK AT IT!

This is Rex, Lori and Will’s dog, who was sadly unable to really attend the event, but Lori visited him out back several times during the reception. 🙂

Lori and Will also held a quilt raffle as an activity for guests – the money went towards their honeymoon fund. You bought tickets and at the end, a winner was drawn from a jar!

Sadly, since most of the guests stayed inside to escape the heat, this frame didn’t get a lot of usage! Also, we end here on a super informal garter toss involving one person who already has a significant other! xD
