Fiona & Jonathan's wedding - George Heriot's School & MacDonald Holyrood Hotel, Edinburgh

Okay this past weekend's wedding definately wins the wettest wedding ever!! But it was no less beautiful than it could have been with good weather, thanks to stunning venues, a beautiful dress and a couple with great personalities!

Past pupils of the school, and they met at their 10 year reunion, George Heriot's was THE venue for the wedding of Fiona and Jonathan. It is a stunning venue, I was so excited to be shooting there after viewing it with the groom the week before. Fortunately as with all recces, we made a wet weather plan..... just in case...... it was needed!

Young Cameron and his grandfather were eagerly awaiting the arrival of his mum.

What is lovely about this venue too, is the stunning venue of Edinburgh Castle in the background.

Soon Fiona and her girls arrived and by this time, the driving rain was blowing through the archways and the girls had to run in to the Staff Room!I think this is my favourite shot of the day, it shows the amazing architecture of George Heriot's but also just how wet the day was!

The Chapel in the School is stunning and look at that train on Fiona's dress!

As per the wet weather plan, plans for a big group shot, and the family formals in the courtyard had to be abandoned, so the newylweds mingled with their guests in the Staff Room, with the formals in the Chapel and then the couples session in and around the School.

Even on wet and miserable days, there is still wonderful natural light to be found in Scotland, honest!

The arches around the Courtyard provided shelter for the newlyweds

While my camera and I got very wet in order to get this shot, but I knew it would be worth it; anything for my art!!

Soon it was onto the hotel and the meal and the speeches.

After the meal, there is that little lull in the proceedings where the room is being turned around for the evening reception. Fiona and Jonathan came up with the brilliant idea of having some entertainment for their guests.... in the form of a casino!!! There was a blackjack table, and a roulette table with the newlyweds providing "cash" for chips!

The last I heard, young Cameron was on a roll, and winning over £10,000!!An impromptu bouquet toss.....

and then the first dance.....

It was a (soggy) pleasure to photograph your wedding guys, can't wait to show you the results on your return from Hong Kong and Singapore!

Thanks to Liz for coming up from Leicester to help me with this wedding.
