Now most people get invited to a wedding and expect the bride to arrive in style, either in a limo or classic car - but not at the wedding of Lynda and Gary, which took place at Peckforton Castle. Far from it! Gary decided he was going to arrive by helicopter - yes, helicopter!!
Unfortunately I'm afraid of heights and helicopters, but was determined that we were going to get shots from the helicopter, especially some nice aeriel shots of the castle, so I got Richard, my assistant on the case and he did a fantastic job of capturing the journey to the castle.
The helicopter wasn't the only thing that had their guests surprised - Lynda and Gary also secretly hired The Three Waiters to perform their routine during the meal. I have never heard anything like them, they were fantastic! The act was amazing and the singing was out of this world - most of the lady guests (as I did!) had a tear in their eye at the beauty of their voices. I would certainly recommend them to anyone.
There was also a caricaturist doing the rounds, as well as a table magician.
Lynda and Gary's wedding was definitely one that I will remember throughout my career as being both eccentric and elegant. Gary and Lynda were a brilliant couple to work with, as were their friends and family, as they were such genuine and kind people. Thank you for inviting us to photograph your wedding, we truly had a fantastic time!
