But groom Tom, 34, quickly put on the brakes. \u201cIn the end I managed to sneak a few things in so that it wasn\u2019t so much a Christmas wedding but a wedding at Christmas \u2013 no snow machine in sight,\u201d laughs Jen.<\/p>\n<p>Jen says it was a perfect winter\u2019s day, with plenty of sun. \u201cThe ceremony was in the conservatory of the venue and the sun streamed in through the windows,\u201d she explains. \u201cI arrived in a white <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/unique-wedding-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VW camper van<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingPhotography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after-ceremony photoshoot<\/a> for the couple was a meaningful time. \u201cAfter the ceremony we drank mulled wine before heading to Leeds University library for photos,\u201d says the bride. \u201cWe both went to Leeds University so it was amazing to get pictures in the old building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesandlianne.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">James &amp; Lianne Wedding Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img
