Wedding Photography at the Garfield Hotel, Stepps, Glasgow

I had the please of photographing Emma and Gary’s wedding recently at the Best Western Garfield hotel in Stepps. I first met with the couple way back in 2012 and now 2 years later their wedding day finally arrived. Emma and Gary had planned to have their service and reception in the same location so stress of getting guest from A to B on the day. Emma had put a great deal on planning into her day right down to the finer details such as the blinged up converse for her to wear in the evening and the personalised gift bags for her bridesmaids. I always make sure I get pictures of these little details on the day to serve as poignant reminders in years to come.

The whole day went well with the only fly in the ointment being the good old Scottish weather. Even though it was a mid July wedding the weather outside was more like mid November and the rain did not halt all day and even at one point we had some thunder and lightning; so the rain ruled out any chances of taking pictures outside in the hotel gardens. In order to take the group picture we were lucky enough to have quite a large open space within the hotel so I quickly setup some lighting to capture all of the shots. The other shots of the bride and groom were taken at various different locations within the hotel.

After capturing images from the speeches and the first dance I staying on as this was going to be my first wedding where my new party photo booth was being used. All of the kids were up first and really enjoyed trying all of the different props however as soon as the adults saw some the the printed results I had a queue of buzzing party goers all eager to dress up and have some fun in front of the camera. Based on it’s popularity and the feedback I received the party booth was a massive success and certainly hit the mark when it comes to injecting a bit of fun and also providing the guest and married couple with a great take home memento of the evening.
