Cameron House Wedding
What an absolutely fabulous day we had shooting Joanne and Calum's Cameron House wedding. It was a stunning day with the sun and loads of smiling faces out in force. Joanne is a Nursery and a Dance teacher and all her kids had come out to greet her at St Marys Church in Kirkintilloch. We even had a cheerleaders 'guard of honor' waiting outside the church for when the bride and groom had walked down the aisle. Once we left this magnificent church we headed straight to the bandstand in Kirkintillochs Peel Park. This was something that was important to Joanne and somewhere she had always wanted to have her wedding pictures taken. To be honest I was a little concerened about the extra time it would add to the day but thought it too good an oppertunity to miss.
I am so glad that we did. The shots at the bandstand were incredible and since the wedding have featured in many magazine articles and featured on the front page of the Scottish Wedding Directory. Not bad for a 10 minute detour to the local park. Besides I need not have worried about time...........especailly as the wedding car decided it needed a rest between the park and the Cameron House wedding reception. Adding this unfortuate incedent to Easter Holiday Loch Lomond traffic and it was a good 45 minutes late that the bride and groom eventually arrive - in the back of a Pergeot 406 !!
However a mixture of our speedy skills and Cameron Houses professionalism meant that we were soon back on track with the time. We even managed a cheeky little evening shot as the sun set and the sky turned pink. Above all else however I should stress what an absolutely fantastic couple Joanne and Calum are. Despite the hiccups with the transport nothing dented their good humour. Nothing on the day was too much bother for them and they were so freindly and so full of fun all day that I often felt more like a guest of the wedding that the offcial photographer. An absolutely outstanding couple.
