Alexandra and John at Gleneagles 27/08/11

Alexandra and John were married on Saturday 27th August at Gleneagles. John and Alexandra are both from Liverpool. John, a useful golfer and green keeper in the Liverpool area used to work at Gleneagles. Both families and friends made their way north to Gleneagles. The day went marvellously despite a heavy downpour interrupting the champagne and canapes in the hotel grounds after the service, but we got back out and had some fun.
A few thank yous go to the two Best Men, James and Paul, to Jane and the Bridesmaids for all their help, to Jennifer and Richard and all the staff at Gleneagles, and especially to Iris for supplying the Espresso!!
And thank you Alexandra and John for letting me share your day with you.

Victoria and Martin Dorton House (Ashfold School) The Oxfordshire Golf Course and Hotel 20/08/11

Victoria and Martin were married on Saturday 20th of August at Dorton House in Aylesbury. Dorton House is built on land which was once the hunting grounds of Saxon and Norman kings. It's an amazing red brick building with Tudor chimneys and mullioned windows. During term time it's a prep school, but during the summer it becomes a fabulous venue for weddings. Martin and Victoria welcomed their guests on Friday night in The Thatcher in Thame and said farewell on Sunday morning. It was a long and very enjoyable wedding party!!! The couple's friends and family travelled down from Scotland and out from London. Ross Gilder, the best man, did a superb job of the speech and gave us an interesting moment when he and the ushers, Andy Strangeways and Stevie Smith, left all the wedding extras in their taxi, which had driven off into the sunset. Victoria's sister Jessica, and the girls looked beautiful and supported Victoria throughout the weekend. Thank yous to Vinnie as Toast Master who did a superb job, Jamie and the staff at Dorton House, the staff at the Oxfordshire Golf Club and Hotel, especially the breakfast staff for lending me a waistcoat. And a big thank you to Martin and Victoria for asking us to join their day. It really was a fantastic weekend.

Audrey and Peter at Dundas Castle 14/08/11

Audrey and Peter were married at Dundas Castle on Sunday the 14th August. A fantastic venue for their day. The live TV link for Audrey's Grandfather was a fabulous touch. He enjoyed the occasion tremendously. Leaving the roof off the Auld Keep after their service, they joined their friends and family for their reception and drinks. It was a great day all round, slightly damp under foot but the weather held up allowing everyone to enjoy themselves outside in the castle grounds. A few thank yous go to Best Man Keith and his Ushers, Audreys sister and Bridesmaid Kirsty for all their help, and the youngest Flower Girl I have ever photographed at a wedding. Thanks to Dundas Castle and all the staff and not forgetting Audrey and Peter for allowing me to share their day with them.
Thank you ..........

Fiona and Jamie at Mount Stuart Isle of Bute 13/08/11

Fiona and Jamie got married on Saturday at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute. A wonderful venue for their wedding day. Mount Stuart is Britain's most astounding Victorian gothic mansion. Home to the Stuarts of Bute, descendants of the Royal House of Stuart, this magnificent house sits proudly on the Isle of Bute - ancient stronghold of Scottish kings.
The Cal Mac ferry from Wemyss Bay only takes 40 min for the crossing, a brilliant little ferry journey. A great day was had by all family and friends. Jamie's family are from the Newcastle area, Fiona's from Aberdeen. They now both live and work in London. A big thank you to best man Mattie and his ushers for all their help, to bridesmaids Nicole, Christy and Emily for putting up with me and Roisin and all the staff at Mount Stuart.
And not forgetting Fiona and Jamie for letting me share their day with them.
