Kirsty & Derek

Kirsty and Derek had found a lovely venue that I was unaware of until they booked me last year.

The Old Kirk at Glencorse near Edinburgh sits in the lovely grounds of Glencorse House and provided an amazing atmosphere for the day.

The luxurious marquee was beautifully appointed and provided a really nice quality of light for me to photograph.

I like to try something new with the rings at every wedding I shoot and when I saw this old book and a shaft of light in the Old Kirk I had an idea...

Derek and Gordon were looking good and staying calm before the ceremony.

The bridesmaids and maid of honour, Vicki, Angela, Kerry and Janice were in good spirits when they arrived at The Kirk - in fact they were fair bubbling with excitement!

The ceremony was one of the most hilarious I've ever attended. The minister was a real raconteur and had everyone in stitches.

After the ceremony we were taken down to the lake for a few pictures. It gave Kirsty and Derek a chance to relax in each others company as Man and Wife and in such a beautiful spot it was easy to wind down a bit.

Davina, Alisha and wee Lily were looking absolutely great and played their part as flower girls perfectly They were bundles of energy keeping everyone entertained all day.

Kirsty and the girls wanted fun photos and helped me out by playing along with everything I suggested. The shot with the legs will appear soon...

Everyone's favourite on the day (after Kirsty of course). Lily is such a cutey.

A fine set of speeches before the meal. I think the boys enjoyed their dinner all the more for having the speeches out of the way!

An excellent band and a nicely rehearsed first dance made for a great start to the evening.

So, Kirsty and Derek, what a lovely day and one I hope you'll remember with happy memories forever. Thanks for inviting me to be there as your photographer and I'll be in touch soon with the rest of the pictures from your Special Day.

Best wishes

Andy
