Emma and Will 22/05/10

Travelled south on Friday, down to Egnam in Surrey, for the wedding of Emma and Will on the Saturday. It was held at the beautiful location of "Great Fosters". Great Fosters dates back to 1550, built as a royal hunting lodge for King Henry VIII . He never quite made it though, as he died before he had a chance to stay in it. A huge thank you to all for making it a superb day, especially to best man Peter, Emma's sister Sarah, the ushers, the bridesmaids and David and all the staff at Great Fosters.

It was great to meet up with Emma and Martyn whose wedding I photographed in 2006, and Fay and Steven whose wedding I'm photographing in September in London.

Here are a few photographs from the day.

08/05/10 Lauren and David

Photographed Lauren and David's wedding on Saturday at the Hub in Edinburgh. It is the first time I have been there when it's not been a dark and dreak winter's day. This time the weather was fantastic but with a cold wind. After a few glasses of "lemonade" everyone seemed to cope. A big thank you to the local constabulary for not arresting us and the bus and taxi drivers for their patience as we caused havoc at the top of the High Street. I borrowed a Ferarri that was by chance sitting out side one of the shops We parked it in the middle of the mini roundabout ..... thank you Bindi !!!

Kim and Andrew

Kim and Andrew at Dunblane Cathedral and then on to Gleneagles, provided me with one of thopse rare typical Scottish moments. Across the road from the cathedral is a museum. On the corner is a staircase which leads to a magnificent old door. Being me I ask Kim and Andrew to go up, which they do. No sooner are they there than the door opens and an older lady told them, in no uncertain terms, to move. It reminds me of that old Scottish saying, "Get Aff Ma Steps!"

Welcome to Scotland !!!

Any way, despite that moment what a fab day, thank you to Pablo, Amy and all the staff at Gleneagles. Some pics from the day.
