Wedding: The Couple

Let me start by saying,no, I was not the official photographer for the wedding.
The Bride asked a friend to take her photo's who happens to do amazing studio, fantasy photography.
He has the same camera as me! (yay). We agreed to take photo's together and whatever angle he was taking from, I took from a different angle. Just so that she could have a wide variety of photo's of her wedding (even though mine are way less superior to his). I do not enjoy taking photographs of people because I know it is not something I am good at. I think it's good to know your strengths and weaknesses and realize you can't be good at everything!

I love still life photography, flowers in particular and nature scenes. I know my photo's in these fields are not too shabby (not brilliant, but not too bad either). But not of people...maybe because a person moves too much, their expressions change in a fleeting of a moment.

Having gone for a professional photography shoot, I know that this is something I could never do. It's not only about the skill of using your camera, the camera itself but also a lot to do with the photographer interacting with the person, making them feel comfortable, at ease, getting them to feel natural infront of the lens bearing down on them, telling stories and jokes and making the person laugh. I am SOOO bad at small talk. Communication, believe it or not, is NOT a strong point of mine. I could write forever, I love typing, I love the process of penning words to paper, but when it comes to opening my mouth and relaying my thought's, what is supposed to say "You look absolutely beautiful in that dress" comes out as "That beautiful dress looks good on your okay body". Yup, I suffer from the foot-in-mouth syndrome.
Somewhere along the way the throught process crosses the synapses in my brain, gets muddled and comes across as something totally different. Not always, but often enough!

 So without further ado, here are the photo's. And remember I am NOT good at this at all. So please take it as coming from there! The couple...The Groom is my hubby's brother. The Bride comes from a Scottish family and wanted her wedding to portray her Scottish ancestry. Hence the kilts...

My brother-in-Law's(the Groom) little boy was the ring bearer...

The Ceremony was short but sweet with a few tears shed by us onlookers!

The rings being exchanged...


The sealing kiss!

The gorgeous cake...


The favors...

The Wedding took place at a restaurant with a lovely country-laid-back setting. Lot's of chickens, ducks and geese roaming freely around.


The Bride and Groom both wore their Doc Martin boots. Quite cute!





The Bridal party-Bridesmaids and Maids of Honor.



The Men...Far left is my other brother in law.

Just love the kilts!!



The Bride's garter came all the way from Scotland...

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!♥
And here is me with my sister in law!
I love the fact that almost the whole bridal party wore boots! Such a fun thing to do!
Thanks for looking , would love to hear from you!
