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.

Wallace told Insider: "I will be taking more photos of Florence and Fred around the house and posting them on their own dedicated Instagram page @the.legophotographer.
"I will also keep this going as long as possible as I enjoy it so much."

Although they got stuck in a snowstorm on their way up, Florence and Fred reached the top of the mountain.
With fun in the sun photo ideas running low, Florence and Fred decided to visit the snowier part of the house. Wallace had a lot of flour at home and decided it would make an excellent snowy effect.
At the end of the day, the couple parked up their camper van under the stars and watched the night sky by firelight (a low-burning candle).
The next day, Florence and Fred moved on to exploring the house, where they visited a brown paper cave and met Toby the cat.
The honeymoon photos got creative when the photographer's wife came home with some bubbles for him to use.
Three to five seconds later, the rain cleared up to reveal the most amazing sunset.
The weather suddenly took a turn for the worse at the beach and the newlyweds posed for a snap in the rain under an umbrella.
... but had to be quick as LEGO swimming pools don't hold water for very long.
After a spot of zip lining between two flowers which nearly ended up with Fred falling, he gave surfing in a saucepan go. The water was shaded with blue cake coloring and it took Wallace an hour to get the splashes right.
They started their honeymoon on the beach and settled on taking one set of clothes each as this would save time on having to change their heads throughout the week.
Florence and Fred look a little different this time — Fred has let his hair grow long to avoid a questionable at-home cut and Florence opted for box-blonde hair dye as that was the only shade left in the store.
With their planned honeymoon canceled due to the current government travel restrictions, the pair decided to tour the backyard and house in their camper van.
