Holly and Daniel at Swinton Kirk and Springwood Hall 02/12/10

Holly and Daniel were married during the heavy snow falls in early December. That did not stop them nor their guests from having a great day. They were married in Swinton Kirk in the Scottish Borders, and had the reception in Springwood Hall. Rosie from Rosie's Catering and her staff were there to meet the guests on arrival with champagne and to provide them with their wedding meal. The wedding was my largest of the year with 250 at the wedding and another 200 at night. Well done to all. A few thank you's to best man Angus and the Ushers, Cat and the bridesmaids for being great fun. And Jane ......

And of course Holly and Daniel......... Thank you

As usual day few photographs from the day

Shona and Kevin at Glasgow Cathedral and the Barony Hall 27/11/10

Shona and Kevin got married at Glasgow Cathedral, a magnificent medieval Cathedral dating back to 1197. In a previous post I harked on about how when we visit France, Spain or Italy we look upon their old churches and cathedrals as being outstanding, but we have some amazing cathedrals and churches on our own door step. They are all well worth a visit even if you are not religious. The architecture is something else. Anyway, back to the wedding. Despite the awful road conditions we all made it. A great wedding, with the reception held in the Barony Hall a few hundred yards from the Cathedral. Thank you to Gary, Kevin's brother, who also was best man, for all his help, to the ushers, to Jenny and the bridesmaids, and a special thank you to Shona and Kevin.

As usual a few photographs from the day

Julia and Kevin at The Roxburghe Kelso

Julia and Kevin were married at the Roxburghe Hotel in Kelso on Saturday. A very intimate wedding with close family and friends. Julia's family flew in from Germany for the wedding. Kevin's family travelled up from south of the border. Great weekend had by all.

The wedding rings were delivered by an owl, to Paul, the best man, during the wedding service. This was one of the many surprises kept from their wedding guests by Julia and Kevin.

The dinner table was magnificently set out by John the Maitre D, with the help of Kevin. It was a superb table setting, again kept away from the guests, and Julia, until it was time to take their seats. The evening was finished of by a ceilidh with all the wedding guests on the floor, some literally !!! Not too sure about the standard of the dancing but everyone was having a ball.

A big thank you to John and all the staff at the Roxburghe.

As usual a few pics from the wedding.

Victoria and Stephen at Abbotsford House by Melrose 06/11/10

Stephen and Victoria were married in Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Met up with the boys at the "Town House" in Melrose and then on to Victoria and her family, who had travelled over from Belfast. The weather turned nasty later on but we managed to have some fun before it got too bad. A big thank you to best man Peter, bridesmaid Gemma, and all the staff at Abbotsford House. And let's not forget registrar Mrs Margaret Dick, who is one of the best at what she does.

And of course.......... Thank you Victoria and Stephen.

As usual a few pics from the day.

Christine and Andrew at St Mary's Parish Church, Belford and on to Detchant Farm 05/11/10

Christine and Andrew married in St Mary's, on the magnificent Northumberland coast line, opposite Holy Island and Banbury Castle. It is six years since I photographed Christine's sister Catherine's wedding in the same church; a magnificent little parish church in the old coaching village of Belford. How time flies......

Met up with Andrew first in the new family farm shop, Sunnyhills of Belford Butchery and Bistro. Well worth a visit if you are travelling up or down the A1, only a few hundred yards off the A1.

Then on to the farm house to meet up with Christine and the girls. A great day was had by all. A big thank you to both sets of families for making me so welcome. Also met up with a few faces from past weddings that I have photographed. It's a small world.........

As usual, a few photographs from the day.

Thank you, Christine and Andrew.
