Continuing with my quest to blog all the remaining weddings from last year, today, I’m delighted to be sharing with you one totally fabulous wedding from back in November, namely Natalie & Robbie’s big day at a venue I’ve been to quite a few times now, Houstoun House.
Wedding days are, by nature, full of surprises and those little unscripted moments that you just want to capture. And boy, there certainly was an unscripted moment this time around as I found out when, just by chance, during the wedding breakfast, (a time when I usually take a break), I returned to the room to collect a light-stand, only to find all the guests singing and waving napkins in the air – yes guys, the singing waiters had made an appearance! I quickly grabbed my camera and started shooting :-). Needless to say, neither Natalie or Robbie knew anything about this, so I naturally was none the wiser too – thank my lucky stars for returning to the room!
Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year to shoot weddings…not too cold, not too warm (is it ever!) and the leaves on the trees just starting to turn that golden colour, making for some gorgeous backdrops and boy, did we get some beautiful light to go with it all on the day. Sure, it’s my job to make the most of and deal with any conditions on the day, but a helping hand from mother nature is always welcome :-).
Natalie & Robbie, a big thank you for choosing me to shoot your fantastic day. Here’s just a few of my own favourites which I hope you like – click on any image to enlarge.
