Claire & Garry's Wedding

Claire & Garry's wedding was a fantastic day, with the marriage at one of my favourite Edinburgh venues Mansfield Traquair. The building was originally Mansfield Place Church, a pretty standard church apart from vast murals by the artist Phoebe Traquair which led it to be known as Edinburgh's Sistine Chapel. When the church closed a group was set up to preserve the building, and now it is a unique venue for weddings and functions. I love it.


Claire looked stunning .....


Garry is in the Army and has just finished a long tour of duty in Afganistan. He got married in full uniform and looked pretty good too.


Around 60 guests watched the ceremony


On the way from the wedding to the reception we stopped off at the Royal Mile to take a few shots. This is a picture I have had in my mind for ages, and the combination of a great couple and beautiful weather made it happen for us.


The reception was held at The Counting House where Claire's brother is the manager. The Counting House is a suite of function rooms above the Pear Tree pub in West Nicolson Street, and they have recently been refurbished to a very high standard - the food was good too!


The reception was a lively affair, with one of the best wedding bands I've heard in ages. It was a long day with the ceremony at 11.30am, but everyone enjoyed themselves and I am sure Claire and Garry will have a great life together. The rest of the photos will be up shortly, I will post a link here as soon as they are done.
