Glorious day today outside as I type this – far too nice to be indoors but needs must guys. In fact, this fantastic weather we’re having lately takes me back to Marie & Thomas’ wedding at The Vu in Bathgate just over a month ago as, for me, that was the first weekend I can recall when we had what I call “wedding weather”. Every wedding this year up to that point had either been overcast, drizzly or a bit chilly. But, the 8th June was a bit of a sizzler…so much so that I returned home with my customary burnt forehead!
And, if that wasn’t good enough, when I arrived at Marie’s parents house for the bridal prep shots, wouldn’t you know it, but the girls are ahead of schedule getting ready and, trust me, you won’t believe what a difference this makes. Before the wedding day, I always make a point of stressing how important it is for the girls to be ready in good time so that we can get those all important bridal shots pre-ceremony and also so that I can head off to the venue and make sure I also get some shots of the guys as well. But, oh how many times this isn’t the case – the girls are running late, hair and make-up’s taking longer than expected, someone hasn’t turned up – there’s so many reasons and, sadly, something has to give – it’ll either be the bridal shots or the shots of the guys or, if we’re really unlucky with time, both.
