Here’s a preview of some images from Tom and Alex’s wedding last Saturday at The Potting Shed in Applecross.
Tom and Alex are both medics, so we went expecting the occasion to be quite sedate, with sensible people behaving sensibly and what not. Oh my. How wrong we were! There were some quite mad people there. And we had an absolute blast! There were many, many occasions when I snapped the shutter, checked the camera screen, and burst out laughing at what I was seeing. There’s just a hint of this in these images (e.g. man in red wig, and bride & bridesmaids doing the can-can in loud wellies) because it was also, and more importantly, a beautiful event, with the love between Tom and Alex both extraordinarily strong and moving.
But there are some really funny shots too, and in a few weeks, after Tom and Alex have returned from their honeymoon in Tanzania and seen and selected (censored?) their images, I’ll post a slideshow. So make a note to check back. Meanwhile, why not add a comment to this post? Comments make me happy. Just click the ‘Comment’ link at the bottom of the post and, well, add a comment.
This is Alex in the early stages of preparation. And the ghostly figure in the window behind is bridesmaid, Ali:
Tom with best man, Nick, soothing nerves with single malt:
The car, an MG classic:
A brother and sister who very kindly agreed to hold hands and run as fast as they could at the camera. Risky, but fun:
Those wellies I was telling you about:
The crazy people I was telling you about:
The first dance, just before they launched into some impressive swing:
