Three Weddings

Sounds like a poor man's version of the Living TV program we were featured on a a few weeks ago (see previous blog entry) but in fact refers to the fact that we have three weddings this week.

The first is on Wednesday (9th September 2009) when we will be photographing Charlotte and Roger's wedding at the simply magnificent Ruthin Castle in Denbighshire, North Wales. Charlotte and Roger have opted for a Medieval themed wedding which Ruthin Castle produces so well. Should be exciting.

The very next day (Thursday 10th September 2009) we will be with Lindsay and Keith when they get married at our local church, the beautiful and famous St Deniol's Church in Hawarden. The reception is at the Lion Quays in Oswestry, Shropshire.

The final wedding of the week sees us back at Ruthin Castle again for the wedding of Nadia and Stephen (a 'conventional' wedding this time).

We are both looking forward to all of them as we love photographing weddings and I'll post a few photos here in due course as usual

This week.....

Another busy week in prospect.

We are currently beavering away trying to complete the edit on the 1400+ photographs taken at Ita and Greg's wedding on Saturday (see previous entry on this blog). Hopefully we will have that completed today (Monday 7th September).

Wedding wise, we have 3 this week. Two are at the same venue (Ruthin Castle in Denbighsire on Wednesday and Sunday) and the third at the Lion Quays near Oswestry in Shropshire (Thursday).
It's going to hectic but should be fun as we love photographing weddings.

On top of that, I've been asked to supply some Owl photographs to a public relations company so I need to find the time to send them those this week (I'll try and get to post a couple on here)

Wedding at Albright Hussey Manor

As I mentioned a few days ago, yesterday (Saturday 5th September 2009) saw us toddling down to Shropshire to photograph the wedding of the gorgeous Ita to her lucky fiancé, Greg.

The ceremony was at the beautiful St Peter's Church in the wonderfully named town of Myddle not far from the venue for the wedding reception, Albright Hussey.

The bridal preparations took place at Albright Hussey Manor and the hour or two I spent in the bride's room with all of her fellow Irish bridesmaids, her mother and flower girl. It was so much fun I am surprised any of us managed to make it to the church (and if anyone has spent any time with a bunch of crazy Irish women out to have a good time, you'll know what I mean).

But make it we did and luckily, so did the groom although prising him away from the attractions of the nearby Red Castle pub was a little trickier than first thought.

Beautiful church as I say and a great service followed by a wonderful afternoon at Albright Hussey and once again, the weather behaved itself.

Have a great time in Dubai Ita and Greg and for now, here are a few of the photos from your wedding day.

We'll post a few more photos over on our wedding blog at www.barrieneilweddings.blogspot.com

As usual, a small selection of photographs from the wedding to be going on with whilst we get to grips with editing the other 1400+ from the day.

Wedding photography slideshows

We have just added an exciting new feature to our wedding website.

After we have photographed a wedding, we supply all of our clients with printed proofs of all of the photographs we have taken along with JPEG versions of the proofs and also a slideshow of the photographs. We also upload all of the photographs to a password protected Client's Area so that all of your family and friends can see the wedding photographs, wherever they are in the world and at any time of day.

This slideshow is our personal favourite way of viewing the photographs as it means you can view them on a computer screen at a large size and can easily move from one to another or allow the slideshow to simply go through them all whilst you just lay back with a glass of wine in your hand (bliss).

We have now created a page on our wedding website (link) that allows you to download a small sample slideshow from a number of the most popular wedding venues in our area. As I say, it is only a sample slideshow from each wedding venue as the full set will contain between 450 and 600 photographs and the file would be took big to download!

If you are interested in having a look, simply click here (this will take you directly to the Slideshows page).

Wedding at Albright Hussey

We haven't been to Albright Hussey for some months so Saturday's wedding of Ita and Greg is particularly exciting.

Albright Hussey is a fantastic old country house near Shrewsbury in Shropshire that is now run as a very high class hotel (the Sultan of Brunei once stayed there!).

As usual, we have everything crossed hoping for good weather and look forward to seeing everybody on Saturday
