Epic 2 day festival tipi wedding // Winchester

Weddings


We were looking for a photographer who got our vision but who would also party with us. Kirsty delivered on all fronts with the most perfect photos that we’ll treasure forever.

From an intimate ceremony in Winchester to an epic tipi festival-themed party in Hampshire, this fun filled colourful wedding had everyone dancing all night long. Danielle and Chris took things to the next level with their incredible two-day wedding, blending intimate moments with epic festival vibes. 

Day One: The legal part:

Day one was all about the official “I do’s” at Winchester Registry Office. Surrounded by close friends and family, Danielle and Chris made it legal in a heartfelt ceremony. The confetti explosion as they stepped out was nothing short of magical, adding a burst of colour to the historic streets of Winchester. The couple then wandered around town, showing off the best parts of Winchester City (I do love a city wedding)

Day Two: PARTAAAAAAY

Day two was where the real party began! A massive tipi tent set up in the Hampshire countryside, signposts, pom poms, and balloons – a true festival vibe. Guests arrived ready to party despite the incessant torrential downpours that were happening outside. IT RAINED… A LOT! You would never have guessed that it was the 4th of August, everyone had coats on and wrapped up with blankets, but that didn’t stop anyone from partying!

Speeches that had everyone laughing and crying, delicious food that kept everyone fuelled, and the dance floor that was packed from dusk till dawn. Firepits added a cozy touch, perfect for marshmallow toasting. The whole day was a vibrant explosion of colour and fun – I loved every second of it. 

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT:

It was such a cool vibe,

ALL THE COLOURS

the tipi, the pom-poms and all the epic dancing. Singing to Sam Fender at the top of my lungs with everyone on the dance floor!
