Wedding Photography at Castle Menzies, Aberfeldy. Paul and Kirsty

So, the service was underway, it was a lovely service.

The scones looked wonderful, obviously I didn’t have any!!




We found an old walled garden in the Castle Grounds which had some great old gates

That was the end of the day for me and it was time to head off. Thanks Paul and Kirsty for inviting me to to record your special day, it was a pleasure to work with you. Take Care

Wedding Photography at Castle Menzies, Aberfeldy. Paul and Kirsty

I know that last time I said that Forbes of Kingennie was one of my favourite venues, well Castle Menzies is up there with that. It’s a different type of venue, you simple rent the castle and then do everything else yourself. There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to that arrangement but it certainly makes the day personal.

This was my third Weding here, the last one was march 09 when I had the pleasure to work with Phil and Jo who only held the service in the castle, the reception being at Kenmore Hotel.

Paul and Kirsty did the whole lot themselves, I know that they worked incredibly hard and the castle looked stunning. I caught up with them both at the Fortingall Hotel where they had both been staying and trying very hard to avoid each other at breakfast.

Paul was very relaxed about the whole day, he reckoned it was because he was so exhausted after carrying all the chairs and tables around the castle.


I left them to it and headed over to the Castle to photograph the table settings.

 

Hadn't they done well, the room looked absolutely stunning.

Paul was waiting patiently for Kirsty to climb the 80 odd steps to the top room for the service. It was baking hot up here and everyone was sweating.

Boy it was dark though, for other Photographers reading this blog we were at 1600 ISO at f2.8 and a 60th of a second, pretty much darkness!! However, it does show the advantages of investing in good kit and fast sharp lenses, sorry to sound like I am preaching but the photographers that are doing Weekend Weddings on £300 cameras would really struggle here.


More later.

Wedding Photography at Forbes of Kingennie, Karen and Bruce

After the group shot we did the usual family groupings which were nice and easy as everyone was outside enjoying the sunshine. It’s always nice and quick when the sun is shining. Then we went for a walk round the grounds to get some shots of the happy couple.




The boathouse has wonderful opportunities for photography.



Caroline wasn't with me this time so I had to rope Bruce in as my helper.

Wedding Photography at Forbes of Kingennie, Karen and Bruce

Forbes of Kingennie is one of my favourite venues, the locations is lovely and in good weather the photographic opportunities are immense. Vicky and her staff are always on the ball too!

Last Saturday was no different, the weather was lovely and I knew that Karen and Bruce would be great to work with. Karen didn't want any “getting ready” shots so I started off with the table decorations and cake before heading off to find Bruce.

Karen was one of the happiest Brides I know, she never stopped smiling and laughing.

That's all for today, I’ll post some of the Bride and Groom shots tomorrow. In the meantime of you are looking for a Wedding Venue in this area then Forbes of Kingennie is well worth a look.

Polokshields Burgh Hall, Wedding Photography – Jodi and Kenny

After that emotional exit from the Church the guests were encouraged to hang about and chat to the happy couple.

The Minister was hilarious and very well dressed



After we arrived at the Hall, we photographed a few family groups then Jodi, Kenny and I went for a walk round the grounds.

I persuaded Jodi and Kenny to come on the roundabout with me so I could try and get some movement shots but all that happened was I felt very sick!
