27th June 2010
Claire and Derek married at the House for an Art Lover in Glasgow. This is a popular wedding venue and it is the second time I have provided wedding photography there. It was also the second time I had the pleasure of working with Humanist Celebrant Linda Britton.
My extraordinary run of good luck with the weather seemed to have finally deserted me, with heavy downpours timing themselves perfectly with the group photograph schedule. However, this is one of those times that separates the professional wedding photographer from the amateurs and ‘Plan B’ swung into action. With large umbrellas in hand, Claire and Derek ventured out with me to get a couple of shots. The heavens opened even more and although I thought we might all be washed away, we got back indoors relatively dry and with some shots in the bag.
With outdoors being out of bounds for the time being, we made use of an incredibly bright side room for the group shots (the first location choice unfortunately also being the bar).
Speeches were next, and as the meal began I headed off to the car park – to be greeted not only with clear skies but Claire and Derek within earshot on the balcony of the House. A good opportunity for a few last minute outdoor photographs. Perhaps there really is a patron saint of wedding photographers.
All the best to Derek and Claire.
