The day is over so quick, so you don’t want to be wasting time worrying about how much it has cost or how tired you are from setting it up. I saw alpacas at weddings, which I didn’t know was a thing but after a quick Google search I found companies that offer it in the North East! Fleecy Beastlies were top of my list as the company offered to let me come and see the alpacas on a gorgeous farm, which wasn’t too far from the venue. They provided the opportunity for wedding photos with a difference and I kept it a surprise for the guests who were blown away when they arrived. While Keith and I were off getting some photos taken, our guests were entertained by Mike Giblin who is the most amazing caricaturist. Everyone felt a mix of being in awe of his talent but also finding the ways he captures people in his drawings hilarious. I found our photographer on Gumtree who does pet and wedding photography. Combined, this was the perfect photographer for us!  Our videographer is an old friend of mine who owns an award-winning videography company and flew to England specially to film our wedding. It was our one little bit of over the top luxury on our big day. We quickly got used to the strangeness of having a film crew follow our every move.
