Dalmahoy Country Club Wedding - Sarah and Paul
Full disclosure before I tell you about this Dalmahoy Country Club Wedding - I am friends with Sarah and Paul. Although I did not know this when the initial enquiry came in. Sarah emailed through the website and we began a correspondence on her wedding plans without me realising who she was. Which is very admirable if you think about it. This meant that Sarah could be assured that we were going to treat her like a regular 1500 client. fortunately we treat all our 1500 clients as if they were our friends so the outcome was always going to be the same. This was the first wedding I have shot where the bride's father had conducted the ceremony. As a father myself I cannot image how Simon coped, not only watching his daughter walk up the aisle but to then conduct her marriage ceremony himself is, in my opinion, a remarkable feat (just look at the 'thumbs up' picture to witness his relaxed state)
On the day groom Paul was waiting for us when we arrived at Dalmahoy and we got some great shots of the lads before we then went to the brides room to get some pictures of Sarah's final preparations with her lovely bridesmaids. One of her bridesmaids, Megan (below), was one of the first weddings 1500 Photography shot. And goodness did we get out moneys worth out of those images. Megan was (quite rightly) our poster girl for years !!
Not only did Sarah's Dad conduct the ceremony but the ceremony was held in her 'own' church. Now residing in Leeds Sarah's family lived in the Dalmahoy area where St Marys was Simons church. It is located pretty much within the grounds of the country club. For the brides family this wedding was very much a homecoming. It was a brilliant day, with so many of the guests having travelled up from down south there was a real party atmosphere. This was my first visit to the Dalmahoy County Club and it was terrific. Its alway great fun anytime you need to jump into a golf cart with a bride and groom which is what we did to get to some of the more picturesque parts of the golf course. I really really enjoyed this wedding. There was so much to love about it and so much fun and goodwill in the air. It didn't feel like work at all. Thank you Sarah and Paul
