Wedding Photography

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it family: whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” – Jane Howard

I first heard about Simone and Alexander’s wedding when Simone put a plea out on Facebook on one of the wedding groups. Her gran was ill and as a result, she was downsizing her big planned wedding next year into something more intimate this year to hopefully ensure she could be there.

I had the date free and wanted to help.

And I’m pleased to say Simone’s gran and grandad were there to witness the happy occasion.

Show Stealers

Family is really important to this pair and they wanted their two kids Macie and Hugo to play a big part in the whole day.

Hugo was the worlds cutest pageboy and he led the bridal procession with the help of his granny. In matching tartan to his Daddy and the groomsmen no less.

Then came his big sister as a beautiful flower girl leading in Simone’s four bridesmaids. They wore soft grey dresses and had wrist corsages instead of bouquets. I thought this was a genius idea to keep their hands free.

The wedding ceremony took place in the beautiful Drummond Room at the Stirling Office. The last time I was there was for Neil and Raymond’s wedding and their pictures now grace the official Stirling Council wedding site 🙂

Sweet touches

After the ceremony, the new Mr & Mrs Podmore headed off with Hugo and Macie in their big white stretch limo to the Stirling Court Hotel on the University grounds.

We were due a storm that evening so the air was humid and muggy but Simone and Alexander were proper troopers during their photos.

Once back inside you could see all the thoughtful touches Simone had worked hard on whilst planning the wedding. Alex’s mum was sadly no longer with them. So Simone had set up a charming memory table so she could be there in spirit. Both Alex and his dad mentioned her in their heartfelt speeches as well.

But she didn’t stop there. Their wedding cake was in keeping with the sparkly theme of the day from the front…

But from the back…

Simone had incorporated a tribute to Alex’s football team. Now that is relationship goals right there! (goals – see what I did!!).

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Podmore and your beautiful family.
