A few weeks ago I shot the lovely wedding of Kathryn and Gary. The day began with an early morning start at the Motel One located in the centre of Edinburgh where I met with Kathryn.
Hotel One is a great location surrounded with wonderful architecture. After a few fun hours with the girls I drove to photograph Gary preparing for his big day. I didn’t have much time with the lads as I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to take some shots of Kathryn’s getting ready, so it was a bit rushed to be honest. However, it was great to meet Gary’s two best men before the wedding started.
After quick drive back to the hotel I had a wee struggle with the parking ticket machine (argh!). When everyone was ready we went outside for some photos with the ladies. As there was still some time before the car arrived to pick up Kathryn and her bridesmaids, there was also a danger of Gary driving nearby, but someone came up with an idea to go to the local pub (The Booking Office) for a pint. I love these kind of spontaneous moments! Funnily though no one in the pub paid any attention to us. Cheers!
The ceremony was held in Duddingston Kirk and it was really nice with live guitar music and vocals. The thing that annoyed me a little was that photographers are only allowed to photograph the ceremony from the gallery. Fortunately I always have my long lens with me!
Afterwards we had some time for some group photos and a few romantic portraits of the bride and groom in Dr. Neil’s Garden which was conveniently located next door to the church. It provided a beautiful backdrop where the lower slopes of Arthur’s Seat met Duddingston Loch.
The rest of the day was spent at Duddingston Golf Club. Great staff allowed us to borrow a cart and drive onto the field for couple of photos of newly wed couple. Good fun! Their fabulous staff allowed us to borrow a cart and drive it down onto the field for couple of photos of the newlyweds. Good fun!
Thanks again Kathryn and Gary for allowing me to be a part of your wonderful wedding day and for also being such an awesome and relaxed couple.
Enjoy the photos!
