This is a very delayed post, blogging seems to take so much time, but this was a special wedding. OK they are all special but this was my first trip to Edinburgh and I took the opportunity to have an extra day to look around. What a fabulous city it is to visit. This wedding was one of dozens now all starting from one I did about twelve years ago. I was already booked to film Claire’s brother Michael’s wedding next April to Lucy, the sister of Emma whose wedding I did six years ago whose mother was a friend of…. and so it goes on. I understood that the splendid and very Scottish Gregor was not too keen to be filmed, I like a challenge……..
15th century Aberlady Church is in a picturesque setting right on the coast. It goes without saying that bagpipes and kilts were everywhere. The sun shone all day, despite gathering clouds in the west over the city. Being November the light was failing when we arrived at the dramatic Lennoxlove House.
I knew fireworks were planned but the heavens opened in the early evening and torrential rain hammered the marquee. This crowd were not the types to be put off easily. Dozens of white brollies and those silver foil sheets that marathon runners wear were produced. The fireworks went ahead in front of a spectacular crowd of guests glistening white and silver in the floodlights. Great for my video!
Needless to say that Gregor was a natural on film and seemed to enjoy it. At the end of the day he thanked me very much and I was to see him again in April. See my next post!
