My last wedding of 2017 took me back to one of my favourite venues, the Ghillie Dhu in Edinburgh, for Kirsty & Trevar’s big day. In somewhat of a strange coincidence, my last two weddings of 2017 at The Vu and the Ghillie Dhu, are also the same venues where I shall be shooting my last two weddings of this year, between Christmas and New Year…go figure!
Was great to see a few familiar faces too, as I’d previously shot Kirsty’s sister, Katy’s wedding to Ross a few years earlier, and if that day was anything to go by, I knew it was going to be a good one…and that’s exactly how it panned out :-). December weddings are what they are – you know it’s going to be pretty chilly and dark…I should know as I got married in December myself. But, in many ways, somewhere like the Ghillie Dhu lends itself perfectly to the feel of a winter wedding…just check out that fabulous room!
Being just off Princes Street, I couldn’t let the day pass without having one or two shots dodging traffic on the central reservation, something that I seem to have become synonymous with over the years. My aim is always to try and get a couple of trams passing by on each side but, you know how it is…you wait, and wait, and wait…and in the end just have to settle for buses instead :-). One of these days maybe…
