Andrew and Rebecca..New Year's Eve at Smiths Gretna Green

It is not often that I get to photograph a night wedding. On New Year's Eve Andrew and Rebecca decided to marry at the World Famous Blacksmith's Shop in Gretna Green.
Family and friends had travelled from Wales to see this lovely couple get married. I have never seen such smart outfits Andrew in his Welsh tartan kilt and Rebecca wearing a beautiful wedding dress toped off with a beautiful navy blue coat trimmed in welsh tartan and the welsh dragon. All the guests dressed in evening wear as after the ceremony they all enjoyed a Gala dinner at Smiths Hotel.

Late afternoon I arrived and found Rebecca and her parents along with the bridesmaids getting ready in the Penthouse Suite of Smiths Hotel. Rebecca is very close to her parents and we were able to get some lovely photographs of them before the ceremony.
Rebecca's bridesmaids helped her to get ready they all looked Amazing!!





Every last detail was beautiful....



The ceremony was very moving with readings one from Captain corelli's mandolin...



After the ceremony the guests walked back to Smiths Hotel it was a great atmosphere.

A lovely shot of the newlyweds...

Hope you have a wonderful honeymoon in Borneo. To see more of their amazing wedding watch their slideshow!!

Dave & Anna..Snow at Muncaster Castle

Dave and Anna met over 3 years ago working out in Kuwait. They decided to come back to the UK to marry. Family and friends travelled from all over the UK to share with them in their special day. The snow had been falling the week before the wedding and some guests had to abandon their cars to make it to the church in the grounds of Muncaster Castle!

Fortunately Dave’s brother who too had flown in from Kuwait and Anna’s bridesmaid from Australia made it safely to see this great couple get wed!

With a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and a stunning white gown Anna looked radiant as she prepared to marry Dave…



Muncaster Castle looked so pretty covered in snow and Anna was a princess for the day…



Anna and her father arriving at church and guess what it was snowing!



The moment that Anna and Dave saw each other…



During the ceremony…



Back at the castle in the library the interiors of the castle were stunning…





We braved it outside in the snow but it was sooo cold well worth it for that view though!!



Anna and the bridesmaids looked so glamorous



The reception details. Anna and her mum Janet had put so much thought into the details of the ceremony and it really paid off! The Great Hall looked fantastic!



Thanks to Anna and Dave for letting me be a part of your special day it really was beautiful. Glad to hear you have had an amazing time in Barbados and hope you like the photos Anna whilst out on holiday in Australia!
