The Wedding of Gwen and Craig

on Wednesday 13 August 2008






The weather forecast was for heavy thunder showers all day and we were keeping our fingers crossed that it would clear up so that we could celebrate Gwen and Craig’s wedding at the Dalmahoy in style.
We were lucky as the weather held beautifully and we were able to capture some truly magnificent pictures of a truly regal couple.

In the morning we arrived at the Dalmahoy to capture some shots of the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready and everything was going according to schedule. Gwen was looking very elegant with her hair pulled up and her make-up being done professionally. Eleonor, her sister and Lynne, a close friend were on hand to help the bride make the finishing touches.

From there we travelled across Edinburgh to the Methodist Church in Nicolson Square and enjoyed a beautiful service with the bridal party and their guests. Gwen’s brother in law sang a beautiful solo with Eleanor accompanying him on the violin. It was a very romantic and touching service.

Once the bridal couple had a chance to greet all the guests outside the church we made our way up to Arthur’s seat to capture some shots with this Scottish landmark in the background. The sky had opened up beautifully and was blue with the sun shining through. We then went back to the Dalmahoy to share the rest of the day with Gwen and Craig.

The couple were greeted by a hundred guests and after taking a number of formal shots we were able to spend some time with Gwen and her husband Craig getting those very important portrait pictures. The backdrop was stunning with the beautiful hotel in the background and the greens of the golf course. We were able to capture some fantastic shots of a couple who were more than willing to please.

We also admired all the beautiful decorations in the Dalmahoy Suite where the reception was being held. In particular, the stunning wedding cake with its delicate flowers which was especially made for Gwen, by her mom, Brenda.

Craig and Gwen, you were fantastic to work with and we loved spending the day with you. Thank you also for the fabulous meal you offered us, it was delicious and certainly gave us the extra strength to finish up the pictures for the rest of the evening. We hope you have a great honeymoon in Brazil and we’ll catch up when you get back.
