The day started well with the rain stopping and the sun making a rare appearance. Louise and Mark had selected the stunning venue of the Vu in Bathgate. This purpose built wedding venue sits high on the Bathgate hills, with its own small Loch and stunning views this location can be the setting for some truly great images; however due to the exposed location it is very weather dependent. The last time I photographed a wedding here the rain was horizontal and the wind was blowing a gale so this time I was really looking forward to taking some pictures in the sunshine. Louise and Mark were a very laid back couple and very comfortable with getting their picture taken. Due to a late wedding ceremony it was impossible to get through all of the required group pictures in the allotted 15 minutes before it was time for the guests to be seated; however both Louise and Mark gave me 5 minutes between each course to capture some images of them together. Fortunately this was when the light quality was at its best (this time is know to photographers as the golden hour, 1 hour before sunset) and looking at these pictures you will see why. Once again congratulation to both Louise and Mark and all the best in the future.
