A photographer from Cheshire, England, seeking to beat coronavirus-related lockdown boredom created a delightful wedding photo shoot out of Lego bricks earlier in April, 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 goal in documenting the fictional Lego couple Florence and Fred’s big day was to keep people interested in his company.

“The response to Fred and Florence’s wedding was just amazing,” Wallace said. “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 given the ongoing 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,” he said, adding that traveling in a camper van was something he had “always wanted to do.”

“It was much harder to come up with ideas, as there is no set format to a honeymoon,” he said. “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.”

Wallace added that 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 photo shoots has been people’s reactions afterward. “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,” Wallace said.

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.

“I have had numerous inquiries and bookings because the client has seen the Lego wedding first before checking out my other work,” Wallace told Insider.

“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 post on Wallace’s site, and the photos come with a funny running commentary and behind-the-scenes details.
