Wedding Photography Scotland – Matt and Rachel – Glamis Church – The Church and Service

So, Caroline and I shot over to Glamis for the service, the Church is great, quaint little Church with loads of natural light, even the sun was out.

We found Matt who was surprisingly calm.

 


The bridesmaids arrived – aren't they stunning!

 

Then Rachel and her Father arrived

Meanwhile in the Church Matt was waiting patiently

I think he may have spotted her at this point
He certainly has now

Whats he saying here, answers on a postcard please



Earlier in the service, Rachel and Matts Mothers had lit candles at the front of the Church, this is Matt and Rachel combining them together as one flame


These standing stones are in the garden of the house that Rachel grew up in so they have special memories for her. I was so pleased that the sun was out and we even had a whisper of blue sky. We drove round to Glamis Castle and took a couple of shots there, it’s amazing how difficult it is to get a clear drive here, even before the castle has opened. I had to remove at least 1 car in Photoshop
The Alvis was provided by a friend of Rachels Father, it was in beautiful condition and absolutely sparkling.

All things being equal, tomorrow I’ll have some of the couple shots ready to post

Wedding Photography Scotland – Matt and Rachel – Glamis Church – Rachel getting ready

After we had left Matt and his family we headed over to Rachels family home outside Brechin to capture a couple of shots of her getting ready.

Rachels bouquet was really beautiful

And so was Rachel

I really liked the wood pile (as you’ll see later) and Rachels Dad had made a point of keeping it well stocked for me.

Back inside where Rachels beautiful bridesmaids were getting her ready

A couple of finishing touches

Rachel had some lovely jewellery for the Bridesmaids

A couple of shots in the Garden

A quick shot with Mum and Dad before we headed off to Glamis

Tomorrow expect more shots from the Church, the Service and also a few taken at Glamis Castle

Wedding Photography Scotland – Matt and Rachel – Glamis Church

I just knew that this would be a great Wedding, despite only meeting Matt and Rachel twice I had a  feeling that we would all get along really well. They are  a lovely couple, they live in London but Rachel grew up in Glamis and Mat comes from Ireland. Not only did I just know that we;’d get along I also knew that Rachel would look stunning on the day and be really easy to photograph.

Rachels Father was the Minister in Glamis and Rachel grew up in the Manse there. Her parents now live near Brechin and her Father is a Minister in a Parish in Dundee. However, Glamis holds very special memories for her so the service was conducted by her Father in Glamis Church – and what a Church, bright and airy, makes my job much easier.

Caroline came along to help me for the day so we headed off to a luxury holiday home near Edzell where Matt and his family were staying for the week. Matt is an conference organiser and likes timetables, his brother told me that the timetable was out the window before it started as Matt had disappeared to drop off his bag and we were already late.


Matts Mum gave us a guided tour of the house – she even offered us some porridge

 
There was a little confusion over the tie


Dad came to the rescue

We started with the boys and a walk round the garden
Matt was looking quite relaxed here so we wandered round the house and took a few shots of him in different locations, this one is probably my favourite. 

Then it was a quick shot of Matt with his parents before we headed off to find Rachel and get shots of her getting ready.

 

To be continued on Wednesday

And now to the Speeches and dancing. It was a great night with music provided by Crowded Croft – a brilliant Ceilidh band from the West Coast, they got the floor full from the start. Have a look at the website, in particular the FAQ section, the bit about James Blunt had me laughing out loud.

As usual Jills Father gave the first speech.
Jill was looking happy enough here but only for a short time

 
See what I mean But then out pops a mouth organ


It’s normally the Groom that sits like this all the way through the speeches

There was a competition with real cash prizes

 

Then it was time for dancing

Lucky guy!

 

Well, thats the lot folks, a huge number of photographs – I’m just waiti8ng on the proof book to arrive then it’s over to Jill and Gavin.
