Abby & Colin's wedding at The Hub was definitely one of those, "I don't feel like I'm actually working today" deals. It's a gorgeous building inside and out with Edinburgh's old town right outside the front door. Factor in a beautiful bride a handsome groom, fantastic family and friends and you really can't go wrong. Epic, is how I'd describe it. I met Abby and the girls down at Ju-Pa hairdressing in Leith for all the bridal prep shots before heading along to Colin's parents for a few shots of Colin getting ready for the big day. Then Luke (The videographer) and I headed back to meet Abby and the girls for shots of the shoes, dresses etc.
I love to photograph the guests as they arrive at the venue. All those smiles, laughs and tears really make the story of the day come alive. Abby looked stunning as she emerged from the white taxi at the door of The Hub. We grabbed a few shots before going inside for the wedding ceremony.
Abby and Colin were terrific all day and I can't thank them enough for asking me to be part of their big day. They smiled, laughed and enjoyed every minute of the day which made my job so easy. The ceremony was lovely but there was some laughter too and it all added up to the perfect wedding. We grabbed a few shots of Abby & Colin after the main family shots but it's important that the bride and groom mingle and enjoy the company of their family and friends on their wedding day. I always say, it's your wedding day, not a photoshoot. Summer or Autumn weddings are great in that respect as you can take some more shots after the meal if needed to break things up a little and that's exactly what we did.
The light was fading fast however so I called in a friend of mine who drives a black cab in the city. He was waiting at the door for us so we could get down the Princess Street Gardens and back up to the Royal Mile to get all the shots we wanted before we lost the light. We made it in the nick of time but it was so worth it.
Thank you again Abby and Colin, it was a privilege to be there.
