Today was my longest journey so far for a wedding - Gretna Green. 360 miles away and about as far as a person can drive from one end of Scotland to the other. I travelled down on Wednesday and stayed ata B&B in Waterbeck, near Lockerbie. It was a good journey and I met my bride and groom, Nicola Cooper and Gavin Masefield at their hotel. They were staying at the Smiths Hotel, Gretna. The couple stay in Wakefield, Yorkshire and contacted me after seeing the images from Beth and Toby's wedding at Loch Torridon Hotel last year.
As a wedding photographer, I suppose it was inevitable that I'd do a wedding here sooner or later, and I was quite excited about it. As it was a small wedding party, I had longer than normal with the bride and groom and really had some fun! I'm not sure the people of Gretna were used to seeing the groom and best man browsing a Lingerie store, despite the 2500 weddings per year they have!! I didn't want to do too much of the stereotype Gretna shots, and stuck to my own style. Of course there are a few shots that have to be done!
I drove up as far as Perth before crashing at a B&B and having a great sleep!
Some images....
