Iain and Louise are fun loving people ...... they love nothing but a good laugh and knew they didn't want to be stood around posing all day during their wedding celebrations - they would rather be with their friends and relatives having a great time - ideal for my style of photography.
We had a ball at their wedding at Jesmond Dene House Hotel in Newcastle.
I first met with them and their parents at the wedding venue when they were meeting with other photographer - they were there for Sunday lunch and to interview wedding photographers - no pressure then! Luckily for me, as I had travelled from another wedding in Leeds the previous day, they already said that they loved my work - and just wanted to make sure that I was the kind of man they could get on with.
I must have impressed all of the six strong interviewing panel and Iain rang me while I was in Barcelona the following week to say that he and Louise wanted me to be their official photographer - even though it was 2 years and months away!
We kept in contact throughout, at the time Iain and louise were working in Dublin, Ireland but all their plans centred around working and living back in Newcastle when their wedding took place.
I took some lovely pre-wedding portraits of them in Jesmond Dene a few months before the wedding and it was just like meeting old friends - relaxed and enjoyable, so when their wedding date finally arrived on 19th December, I was really looking forward to it!
I popped into Jesmond Dene House Hotel a few hours before the start of the ceremony - just to say Hello to Louise before things got going and she was already made up and raring to go, if not a little nervous!
Iain on the other hand was in a local pub to settle his nerves with some of his best friends, but I knew he was nervous. I dashed back up to the hotel and started taking some photographs of Louise in her Vera Wang dress she bought in Dublin and before long the registrar was ready to go, Iain was on site and the wedding was go ..
The cermony was short and sweet but fun, in the grand hall of the old schoolhouse at this exclusive use wedding venue and although light levels in winter are always low, the ambiance of the lights and the candles and high ceilings make for a very atmospheric venue, it just takes a bit of experience to create the right images.
After, the giant Jenga, giant Connect 4 got the guests in the mood for the fun to come and gave me an opportunity to grab some relaxed family groups and 10 minutes with the bride and groom before the reception. The cake was something to behold and created by Iain's brother, Anthony who is Head Chef at the famous Pumphouse Hotel in Durham. 110 individual cakes with a biscuit base, filled with chocolate mouse and spray painted and decorated - heaven!
The fun really started with the evening reception where party games were the mainstay of the fun - from musical chairs, statues and an amazing, frantic game of space hopper races really put the fun into a great day of celebration for Iain and Louise - they had such a great day with their nearest family and friends.
I hope you enjoy a SNEAK PEAK of a few of the images from their great day. Once Louise and Iain have returned from Dublin and enjoyed their Christmas break I shall post more. For relatives and friends, Louise and Iain will send you an e-mail link to their private gallery so you can view all the images from their wedding at Jesmond Dene House Hotel
