The photographer who shot a wedding made out of LEGO followed up with a set of honeymoon pictures, and they're just as brilliant

  • Earlier in April, a UK photographer created wedding photos for LEGO characters Florence and Fred to fight quarantine boredom.
  • Now, professional wedding photographer Chris Wallace at Carpe Diem Photography has followed up with honeymoon photos of the happy couple in a new blog post.
  • Wallace told Insider: "I wasn't sure at first what to do for the honeymoon so I looked through other people's honeymoon pictures on Google and decided the best thing to do was travel using their camper van."
  • Because of the current travel restrictions, the honeymoon photos show the LEGO couple enjoying spending time together in Wallace's backyard and house.

A photographer from Cheshire, England created a delightful wedding photoshoot out of LEGO earlier in April to beat the lockdown boredom, and now he's shared an equally uplifting set of LEGO honeymoon pictures.

Chris Wallace at Carpe Diem Photography previously told Insider that he saw his wedding photography business dry up overnight, and his aim with documenting fictional LEGO couple Florence and Fred's big day was to keep people interested in his company.

Wallace said: "The response to Fred and Florence's wedding was just amazing. It was shared all over the world in over 90 countries and had millions of views along with great feedback.

"I certainly wasn't expecting this kind of response, it's just been amazing."

Now, he's documented Florence and Fred's honeymoon in his backyard and house, as the holiday the "newlyweds" had planned to go on was canceled due to the current travel restrictions.

"I wasn't sure at first what to do for the honeymoon so I looked through other people's honeymoon pictures on Google and decided the best thing to do was travel using their camper van. This is also something that I personally have always wanted to do (travel in a camper van).

"It was much harder to come up with ideas as there is no set format to a honeymoon. It took a week to come up with the ideas and I took the photos every time I came up with a new idea, which was usually once a day," he said.

Wallace added the most challenging part of this project was coming up with the initial premise of each photo, but once he had the visualization, it was quite easy to then go on and create it.

The most pleasant part of his LEGO photoshoots has been people's reactions afterwards. Wallace said: "Knowing that people have enjoyed reading it and looking through the photos once it had been created has put a constant smile on my face and helped me through the quarantine."

As well as brightening up the world with his charming content, Wallace has also achieved what he originally set out to do, which was to raise his profile as a wedding photographer.

He said to Insider: "I have had numerous enquiries and bookings because the client has seen the LEGO wedding first before checking out my other work.

"It has also driven over 50,000 people to my website which is more than I could've ever hoped for."

The full set of Florence and Fred's honeymoon photos were posted in a new blog on Wallace's site, and come with a funny running commentary and behind the scenes details.
