Kirsty, Jon and about 20 of their closest friends and family stayed at Trevor Hall from Friday to Monday, which I think is an awesome idea. They had a relaxed night on Friday, Wedding on Saturday then a Cocktail Party on Sunday – now that’s how you celebrate!
On Saturday morning I arrived to the news that Kirsty was feeling unwell. She was on antibiotics & painkillers and had been for a few days. Kirsty had not long woken up, so while she was making herself feel a little more human, I busied myself taking a few detail shots while the finishing touches were being applied to the Christmas themed dining room.
The girls were all having their hair done at Jades Hair & Make Up in Llangollen, so I bundled into the car and headed off with the bridesmaids. The bubbles were soon flowing and all of a sudden Kirsty was feeling loads better – and looking beautiful!
One of my favorite things about a weekend wedding like theirs, is that everyone is in the same place. Which makes it really easy to tell both sides of the story. I could easily nip down the corridor to catch Jon and his son getting ready, then nip back to continue photographing Kirsty.
Trevor Hall is an amazing building, full of quirky details, eccentric props, 4 poster beds, big windows and massive mirrors. It makes for a wonderful place to get ready. I particularly like the shot of Kirsty surrounded by her bridesmaids in their gorgeous champagne sequined dresses. In contrast to that, the shot of them walking through LLangollen in their onesies always makes me laugh.
Once we made sure the house was clear of guests, it was time to head to the church, at the bottom of the drive. A little shame that the rain couldn’t hold off for a minute or two longer, but never mind. It didn’t ruin the atmosphere one bit. Stay tuned for part two with images from their service and some of the funniest speeches ever!
