Cheryl and Michael’s Edinburgh George Hotel wedding took place at the end of May on a beautiful bright sunny day. I arrived at the stunning Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh where Cheryl was getting ready with her bridesmaids. They made sure they were ready early so that we could make use of the dramatic grand staircase. Meanwhile my assistant Jim Davies Photography was at the Principal taking photos of the boys. Normally I photograph weddings on my own but Cheryl and Michael were keen for more coverage of the boys. Jim did a great job and his photos blended seamlessly with mine.

Cheryl arrived at the George Hotel looking stunning in a vintage car with it’s roof down. Quite a crowd of passers by gathered around to see her. The ceremony was lovely and personal with lots of laughs, both Cheryl and Michael looked very much in love.

It was a lovely day so we were able to go to Queen Street Gardens with the bridal party for the group photos. We also captured lovely romantic couple photos there. The great thing about Queen Street Gardens is that it’s private. You need a key to get in so it’s always quiet and well kept. There are lots of beautiful places for photos there. The couple were happy to stop  off at the various locations we suggested on the way back to their car.

Then it was back to The George Hotel to capture some of the stylish reception. There were many emotional moments during the speeches. Then it was time for dancing. I absolutely love the focal point of the impressive chandelier in the room, it really has the wow factor. After the first dance the party really got started. The dance floor was bustling with guests showing off their best moves!
