Sneak Peak – Alicia and Paul’s Wedding Day

It was the the Fourth of July and an American girl was about to celebrate in style by getting married to her Scottish sweetheart.  As you would suspect for an international gathering such as this, this was to be no ordinary wedding – it was, as we often say in Scotland, “a game of two halves” with the Wedding Ceremony being held in Scotland, and the Reception to be held the following week in the USA.  Of course our Bride and Groom, Alicia and Paul of course realised that you can’t have a wedding in Scotland without a huge party, so the wedding formalities were followed by a beautiful dinner and then it was time to let the hair down with traditional Scot’s Ceilidh.

Alicia and Paul,  were married at St Ninian’s Church in Gourock, followed by their Ceilidh celebrations that evening in the Tontine Hotel in Greenock. The Ceilidh band “Iron Broo” kept everyone dancing into the wee sma’ hours.

Of course, you can’t have a wedding in Scotland without some concerns over the weather, but despite almost monsoon conditions the previous day, the weather was kind to us and we were able to take the planned formal wedding photographs at the beautiful viewpoint of Lyle Hill, overlooking Paul’s home town of Gourock.  The view down the Clyde Estuary from Lyle Hill is stunning and I have to say as a Wedding Photographer it’s the first time I’ve had a Trident Nuclear Submarine feature in the background of one of my wedding photographs.

Here are a small selection of photographs from the day as a little sneak peak – the full set will follow once Alicia and Paul have a chance to review their images.

Please feel free to leave your comments and messages for Alicia and Paul – every time we get more than 10 comments we reward our bride and groom with a print credit for an additional 8 x 10 image of their choice, so don’t be shy.

We also had a photo booth setup and a number of guests “struck a pose” under the studio lights – you’ll be able to see these images on the clients section of our site later this week – please visit the clients area, and you can register your email with us so we can let you know when the images become available.

Alicia and Paul, thanks for a wonderful day and have a fantastic reception in Wyoming this weekend.
