And two of the straw-stuffed creatures where whisked off to get hitched.

Rob Georgeson is a wedding photographer by trade and with no nuptials to snap he decided to send his pair of creations to the altar.

Working with his wife they created a bridge and groom scarecrow using her wedding dress and Rob’s tuxedo.

Rob said: “After three days of standing in the garden, I took the bride and groom off to a local field at sunset to get some lovely portraits of them just like I would be doing if I was shooting real weddings.

“Although they weren’t the most charismatic of couples, I managed to get some gorgeous photos of them that will hopefully raise even more awareness of the great cause.”

The Scarecrow Festival has been raising money in memory of three-year-old Jacob Willett from Cottam.

He died in November last year after losing his battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer.

More than £2,000 has been raised by the Cottam Scarecrows via a Justgiving page for Jacob’s Join.
