After you spend a short time with Ralph and Jen you realize they have fantastic senses of humor and are terrific at making one another laugh. Jen is a hair stylist in Edinburgh and is well known for her work with weddings.  Her wedding day was no different as she worked diligently in the morning and afternoon assisting the ladies getting ready.  It took longer for the other ladies to get ready than expected so Jen was consequently delayed in getting ready and had to rush.  Running behind schedule is something I’ve come to expect from every bride and Jen ended up finishing getting ready while on the bus; including putting on her veil.  Even though the day wasn’t going perfectly to plan, Jen laughed and smiled through her day.  Despite being rushed getting ready, Jen looked breathtaking and made an amazing entrance while riding in a horse and buggy with her Grandfather.  They were laughing the whole journey and it made for some incredible moments to capture.  The day was a unique and beautiful one with a dense fog giving an stunning ethereal feel to the wedding.  I was quite excited as it gave a subtle and often unattainable look to the photos.  The ceremony was held at the newly finished tree houses and the surroundings were pristine.  Ralph waited patiently and was excited to see his lovely bride arrive.  It was a lovely humanist ceremony which had some humorous and thoughtful elements followed by drinks and canapés.  The speeches were hilarious with Jen’s mother starting off the banter.  The speeches thanked the many friends and family who all pitched in and helped them out with their special day.  Their’s was an unusual story of how they met and started dating. Ralph is Jen’s brother’s best mate and they have known each other most of their lives.  So there was no need to getting to know each others families or seeking approval.  Jen had been living abroad and they started seeing each other when Ralph helped take care of her when she broke her leg.  In his comedic speech Ralph expressed gratitude for the friends who were with Jen when she broke her leg as he didn’t believe they would be together had that not occurred.  The speeches finished with Jen’s brother, who was the best man, adding more laughter and some touching words.  After a brilliant meal the dancing began and a fun filled evening commenced.  I had a fantastic time photographing a laughter filled day.
