I was recently going over some older weddings, almost reflecting on past work, and one wedding which came up and that I still really like is a Houston House Hotel Wedding I photographed several years ago for Amy and Simon.

Houston House resides in Uphall which is around 15 miles from Edinburgh City Centre and it sits in delightful grounds and is really easy to get to. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a few weddings at Houston House and each wedding has been great but I especially liked this wedding as it was the only one that took place outside in the grounds.

Liv assisted me for this wedding and we were booked from mid morning until the first few dances in the evening. On arrival it was actually raining and the hotel were debating bringing the wedding inside but in typical Scottish fashion it rained in the morning then in the afternoon we had blazing sunshine. Amy and Simon were really easy to work with and the wedding was a lot of fun. The wedding took place in front of a tennis court and later on some guests (non wedding related) were playing tennis but a couple of the groomsmen invaded the courts and had a comedy match.

We also had an issue with another guest. There was a tourist taking photos in the bushes but VERY annoyingly he was getting in the way. I was in a position where I couldn’t say anything but Liv could be have gave her some attitude. Unfortunately some people are genuine arseholes but aside from the one idiot we had a really great day. Next week I’ll be sharing my last wedding of 2017 which was a really international wedding. I’ve got loads of weddings to share, all of which were great fun to photograph. Keep posted.
