We were very happy when Sarah and Greg booked us for their Waterton Park wedding photography. They are a truly lovely couple and the perfect complement to one another - Sarah is quiet and Greg isn't ๐๐ We knew we'd have a brilliant day with them, as we got along so well at our first meeting. Greg is very funny and chatty and Sarah just smiles and lets him get on with it. What both have in common is that they are genuinely nice people and this, along with the fact that they put a lot of importance on their wedding photos, meant photographing them and just being in their company was a real pleasure. Sarah and her girls got ready in the hotel on the mainland and after the tranquility in their room the next chapter of the day's celebrations was to go over the bridge to the island and find some men to play with. Greg kept us entertained with his good natured banter, the sun shone and we were fortunate indeed to have a good weather forecast for the whole day for a change. Although wedding photographers hate bright sunshine, we hate rain more and we've had a lot of that this year. We made a quick trip back to Sarah's room for final preparations before the girls walked over to the island. We found Sarah's dad sitting in the ceremony room, having completely forgotten that he had an important role to play in walking his beautiful daughter into the ceremony. A quiet word and he was quickly out of the room and by Sarah's side. The ceremony took place in the Walton Suite and straight afterwards the wedding coordinator, Pauline, as hands on and helpful as she always is, quickly encouraged everyone over the bridge for the confetti shots. As recommended Waterton Park Hotel wedding photographers we love working at this unique venue with its beautiful island setting, which offers so many places to take couple portraits. After the one hundred miles an hour that wedding photographers have to work at before dinner to get a lot done in a short time we love the time after the wedding breakfast and before the evening party, when we usually get a chance to slip away, let the couple take a breath and absorb the fact that they are now married, slow things down and capture some romantic portraits featuring the best areas around the venue. Sarah and Greg were fabulous and we were so grateful of their willingness to work with us and for the appreciation shown to us. Greg had spotted a framed portrait in our studio which he particularly liked, of a couple doing a dip, and he asked for something similar. After reassuring Sarah that he wouldn't dare drop her we gave the couple a bit of direction and got some gorgeous images before the evening party kicked off in The Boathouse, hosted by resident DJ Shane. Many, many thanks Mr and Mrs Swales for being awesome to spend the day with. Congratulations on tying the knot!
