Ashley & Simon are Farmers from just outside Kelso and they got married on 9th July at Melerstain House in the Scottish Borders. It was a picturesque setting for the ceremony which ws outside in an open Marquee overlooking the Gardens. The Marquee also provided much needed shelter from the rain which came down in sheets that day!
The good old Scottish weather didn't phase Ashley & Simon though, they were adamant that they wanted stunning pictures. So with the help of umbrellas we went ahead and made the most of melerstain's beautiful grounds, creating an album of gorgeous images.
Here are some of the images taken on that day, you wouldn't even know it was raining!
This has got to be one of our absolute favourites, the nervous look from Simon, the proud look from Ashley's Dad and the happiness on Ashley's face make an image that could only happen naturally. You just can't pose a shot like that!
Just as the minster finished the blessing and said "Amen", there was an almighty clap of thunder. Someone up there obviously approved!

The guests were all good sports sheltering under umbrellas between group photographs.

After the guests had gone on to the reception at Ashley & Simon's farm, our Bride & Groom stayed back for some time together enabling us to capture these romantic shots of the two of them.
The reception was held in a Maquee back at the Farm.We loved the name cards on the tables, attached to the wine glasses with a little clothespeg.
We would like to thank Ashley & Simon and their families for sticking with it during the rain. You all enabled us to get the shots we wanted and we're sure you'll agree it was worth it!
