Beck & Craig At Wynward Golf Club
I was introduced to Becky & Craig by another wedding photographer friend, as they were booked up on their wedding date. After they had looked at my work and style they contacted me, and I was happy to say I was available, and they booked me, pretty much straight away.
When the day came for Becky & Craig's wedding, I was up nice and early as always but there was no preparation coverage so never one to sit around doing nothing I was editing my last week's wedding which felt strange on a wedding day so after an hour I decided to head off early to Wynyard Golf Club and I thought I would get some detail shots of the rooms while they were empty.
The time started to go quickly, but as Craig arrived I could tell he was nervous and let's be honest who isn't on their wedding day, excited and happy too! I knew that Craig didn't want the in-your-face approach so I stepped back and caught the start of the day from a distance, with him and his best man, greeting his family and friends as they all started to arrive.
As he was relaxing, Craig and his best man, went for a walk to get some photos done in a fun and relaxed way which I felt was important to put his mind at ease that, it was going to be fun and nothing to worry about from the photographing perspective. It worked too, we had a laugh and got some great natural shots as well as some nervous looks and expression, which was all part of the documentary style I love so much.
When Becky arrived well ahead of schedule, she was in her beautiful wedding car with a gin & tonic while, Wynyard staff asked everyone to take the seats, as that moment had arrived.
A drink and some fun moments later Becky was walking down the aisle with her dad but before they set off, there were brides made and flower girls who were there 2 beautiful girls.
After the beautiful ceremony, it was party time, and with lots of fun moments, everyone was in full swing for the rest of the day! I love this part of the day, well what not to love, everyone smiling laughing and having fun with loved ones!
