After 20 years shooting weddings, nothing gee's you up like a brand new venue. Clare and Paul's wedding had 3 new venues for me to discover ! For a start, I had never even heard of Craignethan Castle which sits somewhere between Larkahll and Lanark. This stunning castle was to prove the backdrop for the majority of our pictures between St Benedict's chapel and the rather nice Shawlands Park Hotel
One of my favourite shots from all of 2013 is the first shot here of Clare. Its taken in her parents living room with just the vertical blinds tilted. I guess it's a great contrast and shows the range of venues you come across as a wedding photographer that we went from a modern living room, to a modern chapel and a 16th century castle! As I mentioned Craignethan was an incredible building and inspired some fantastic shots of Claire and Paul who were just so great to photograph. With 4 beautiful fun bridesmaids and Paul's 2 brothers as best men the banter flowing back and forth, there was not need for me to ask anyone to smile. In fact, when I think of Clare and Paul's wedding that is what I think of. Everyone smiling and Clare's wonderful expression when she laughs.
A brilliant day with a brilliant couple !
