Date: 15th March 2010
Wedding Location: Cooling Castle Barn
This was the first wedding for 2010 and it featured the stunningly beautiful Claire, who married Anthony Lindsay at Cooling Castle Barn.
The day started out with a promise of good weather and we were not disappointed although it was a little chilly.
I like to arrive early for all my weddings just so I can do a bit of location hunting for photographs although I have been to Cooling Castle twice before it always pays to scout around before everyone else gets there.
Tony was the first to arrive and at first I failed to recognize him as he was wearing sunglasses. All the guests were arriving too and I decided to take Tony and the best men out into the road for some photos before Claire arrived. Before this, Tony had to call Claire on his mobile phone to make sure she would not see him on the road outside when she arrived.
Right we have a 20 min window for phot
ographs and out we go. Les Watts is also here to Video the event and we go out together.The day is great with
the sun shining but its making everyone squint. There hasn't been much sun in recent weeks and everyone has a hard time dealing with it when it turns up on our door step.After, we walk back to join the guests.
Claire is late arriving but whe
n she does arrive we grab a few photographs of her up in her room.
Time was getting a bit tight and we had to leave after just a short while but I am pleased I got some nice photos of Claire before she tied the knot.
The guests and Tony were waiting in the ceremony venue, just across the way and we set off round to the front entrance.
Claire went with the registrar to be prepared for her vows and the rest of us took up our positions downstairs.
Her Grandfather was waiting at the foot of the stairs when she emerged and descended.
Bridesmaids joined the Bride and they all walked past me to the Groom who was waiting.
I wanted to keep out of the way of Les who was at the front videoing the wedding so I stayed towards the rear and photographed from there.
Everything was going smoothly and when the ceremony was over, Claire and Tony retreated to have a moment to themselves and the rest went out to have drinks.
Cooling Castle is a lovely venue to have a wedding and the weather held to complete the day. The staff were always on hand to make the day run smoothly and praise must be given to Lesley the Toast master, and Becky the duty manager who were organizing things.
The outer grounds of the venue were just showing the first signs
of spring and we went outside for some photographs in the chilly sun.
Claire and Tony were my first couple for 2010 and if the rest of the season goes as easily as this wedding then I will be very happy. Both families were happy to be photographed on the day and that is sure to make the Bride and Grooms day.
Congratulations Claire and Tony.
