Cheryl & Paul's Wedding

Yet another fabulous sunny day, this year has been one of the best for weather that I can remember in a long time.

Cheryl & Paul got married at the Dean Park Hotel in Kirkcaldy. There were as many children there as I've ever seen at a wedding, which made for a great atmosphere all day, plus they laughed at my jokes!

I've started working on the pictures already, here's a few highlights so far:

Bank Holiday weekend

Friday night, and while most sensible people are out enjoying themselves I'm in the office sorting out my equipment for Saturday's wedding in Kirkcaldy at the Dean Park Hotel with Cheryl and Paul. The wedding service is being conducted by Rev David Gatt, a retired minister from Thornton. It's always nice to see him, particularly as he married Anna and I at Aberdour Castle in July 2000. David does a lot of Fife weddings at places like Balbirnie, so we work together often which is good fun, he's a great character. Fingers crossed that the weather holds so we can get outside for a bit in the afternoon!

On Sunday we're exhibiting at the Guthrie Castle wedding fair. Guthrie is a stunning venue, a private castle set in extensive grounds, and Paul and the team always do a great job at wedddings. We're very proud to be recomended by them, and so it's a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon (providing I remember to record the Monaco Grand Prix - Go Lewis!)

Charlotte & Stuart

Back to Edinburgh, this time to a new venue for us - The Signet Library, next to St Giles in the centre of Edinburgh for the wedding of Charlotte & Stuart. It was another beautiful day - I don't remember when I last had such a run of great wedding weather!

I started out at the house where Charlotte and her bridesmaids Judith & Hazel were getting ready, once they were done we did a few pictures in Charlotte's beautiful garden.

For this job I was working with another photographer, Andy Scott, from Newcastle, so while I was busy with the girls Andy was already at The Signet Library - the venue for both marriage and reception - with the boys, and he took this superb portrait of Stuart.

From the outside there are few clues to the splendor of the inside of the building. This was shot downstairs from the back of the library where the wedding took place

After the wedding we nipped out into West Parliament Square for a few shots with Charlotte & Stuart

The upper gallery was used for the meal and the evening reception, and it was an incredible location for a wedding with a great atmosphere.

I've worked with Heritage Portfolio, who ran the whole event and provided all the catering and bar services, many times, most recently earlier this month at Claire & Garry's wedding at Mansfield Traquair. Ian and Linda and the team do a magnificent job, and it is always a pleasure to work with them.

All in all it was another great wedding. I got home exhausted at about 10.30pm, and then took my son James and five of his friends paintballing at Skirmish (next to Dalmahoy) the next day for James' 16th birthday - great fun, I need a holiday now though!
