The Art of Wedding Photography on a Rainy Day – Maria and Ewen

As we all know the weather in Scotland can have quite an impact on Weddings, particularly with regards to photography.  The wish of most brides is for a Sunny day and “please please don’t let it rain, it will ruin my wedding photographs won’t it?”

Well I’ll let you, the reader, be  the judge of that one as I present the wedding photographs from what was our wettest wedding ever – The Wedding of Maria Carrigan and Ewen Christie which was held at Glasgow University Chapel and then on to the stunning wedding venue of Mar Hall in Erskine on the banks for the River Clyde.

Weddings at Glasgow University are always a bit special – the University Chapel is an absolute delight and of course you have the nearby University Cloisters which are fabulous to photograph and make the perfect haven on a rainy Scottish Wedding day.

Of course this was not to be just any rainy day – this was the 6th of November last year and we were experiencing monsoon level rain conditions and by 2:30pm any afternoon light had been absorbed by the heavy storm clouds above us.  It was almost pitch dark.  Fortunately we have great equipment, we have great lighting and we were very lucky to have a wonderfully game couple who snubbed their noses at the rain and enjoyed their special day.

So here we present our wettest wedding ever and a wedding that has netted us no less than 2 Gold Awards, 1 Silver, and also won us the SWPP Members Choice Wedding Photographer of the Year – not bad for a rainy day!

So the next time you hear a future bride fretting about rain spoiling her wedding pictures, tell her to have a little look at these and hopefully it might help put her mind at rest.  Better still if she hasn’t yet booked a wedding photographer, ask her to get in touch.

Thanks again Maria and Ewen for a truly wonderful day and as a thank you for helping us win the Wedding Photographer of the Year award, a large print of the winning image is on its way to you.
