Now my memories of Louise (sorry Lou!) are camping in the said rain, with our prospective families, up in the good old Scottish countryside of Kenmore, on the banks of Loch Tay. Here our daily activities (apart from getting wet!) were water skiing and visiting the campsite shop for sweets and stickers!! But Louise varied it slightly with the odd poking-out-fish-eyes-session! Not a squeamish one at all!! Those were the days......
So now we're responsible adults (???) she decided she'd marry her fiance Paul and asked me take her photos and of course I said yes. I arrived at The Hilton in Gateshead to find Paul calm and collected with his groomsmen, in the foyer, dressed to the nines. A few shots here with family and the boys then I headed upstairs to see Louise. As I arrived she was being pampered by Bev in the form of having her hair done, whilst elder sister Sarah & chief bridesmaid helped Louise's god-daughter Chloe into her bridesmaid dress. Mother of the bride, Mammy Sue (as we like to call her!) was already ready and looked stunning and wore a radiant smile.
The time came for Louise to put on her dress and it was beautiful. A simple beautiful shape but full of sparkle. Gorgeous! Now off to the church - St. Mary's RC Church in Whickham.
After a lovely service, we all headed back to The Hilton, where the red carpet was waiting for all of the wedding guests. Photos were taken on the balcony with The Tyne Bridge as a backdrop then the call for food being served was given. A delicious meal was had by one and all and we were entertained by a magician whilst we ate.
Louise's Dad, also a Paul, is in a band that then performed for us all in between the day and night do. Even Louise's Granpa got up and danced!
Much merriment was had by everybody and all agreed that it was indeed a fabulous day for two very fabulous people.
Thank you again Louise & Paul for asking me to record your very special day. Congratulations to you both once again xx
