Lesley & Nick’s laid back, vegetarian, Buddhist wedding

Lesley & Nick wanted a simple wedding without breaking the budget. They cut costs by DIY’ing, cutting things they didn’t need and hiring an aspiring photographer. They kept the ceremony at ninety guests and then had everyone (including those who didn’t attend the ceremony) meet at a bar after for drinks!
