Wedding photographer: Malcesine Castle, Lake Garda, Italy: Dave & Sarah

September 28th, 2009 admin No comments

Andy & Amy were the wedding photographers at Malcesine Castle, Lake Garda, Italy for the wedding of Dave & Sarah.

On the 10th September we were lucky enough to be back in one of our favourite parts of the world – The Italian Lakes, having only left Lake Como a few days before. This time we were at Malcesine Castle at Lake Garda for the wedding of Dave & Sarah. A venue we know well, Malcesine Castle boasts one of the most fantastic spots to get married and one of very few outdoor places where you can marry in Italy. The Excelsior Bay Hotel played host for the couples’ reception. We love to go walk about with the Bride and Groom and when the guests come along too it’s a bonus. A 20 minute walk with the entire wedding party from the Castle to the Hotel is a wedding photographers dream scenario!

Here goes:

The back-drop to the ceremony. Stunning.

You do have to be fairly fit to get married at Malcesine Castle however – so many steps!

Wondering through the Malcesine streets; Andy had spotted this beautifully-lit spot the evening before the wedding.

Once we finished, we jumped into our car and drove the 3 hours to Varenna on the eastern shores of Lake Como for the wedding of Frank & Katharine – images to follow soon :-) I know I keep saying this but, to all of our August and September Brides and Grooms, THANK YOU for your patience. – Amy

Wedding photographer: Holt, North Wales: Andrew & Fiona

Andy & Amy were the wedding photographers at Holt, North Wales for the wedding of Andrew & Fiona.

Andrew & Fiona were married on the 5th September at St Mary’s Cathedral in Wrexham. The reception was held at Fiona’s parents’ house near to the picturesque village of Holt. A wonderful marquee had been erected in the grounds of the house but the lovely weather also allowed the guests to enjoy the garden as well.

On with the images:

Cheeeeeeese!

I love the ‘leaning-over’ pine near the house. When the dinner was brought forward, it left us with just 5 minutes to go and grab some images. We love what we’ve got – but this one was practically unplanned – simply framed as Andrew & Fiona walked back to the marquee for their big entrance into dinner.

And finally, the Wedding cake.

Thanks for a great day folks – lovely familes, a really fantastic Priest (thank you Father for allowing us to photograph the ceremony) and, as an added bonus, thanks to Charles for some garden inspiration too!

We are finally making some head-way into the back-log of recent weddings. Thanks for your patience folks; you shouldn’t have to wait too long now to view the rest of your images. Stand-by Dave & Sarah – you’re next! – Amy.
