So let’s see, what do I tell you about Gav and Tanya’s wedding at South Hill in Elgin? And believe me, there’s a lot to tell. So do I tell you about the moment the MC had all 140 guests taking ‘selfies’ and hash tagging them #gavinandtanyawedding? Do I tell you about a boy called ‘Rampage’ and his small technical error of setting off the fire extinguisher in the men’s toilet? Do I tell you about a bride who was extremely nervous about having her photos taken and then absolutely acing them? Nope, I don’t think so. I think I’m going to tell you another little story. You see, the simple truth is that I shoot weddings as I see them. I try to be quite faithful to what’s happening. But apart from looking and observing, I listen too. And trust me, I don’t miss a thing. Ever. So there I am waiting for Gav and Tanya to make their appearance after the signing of the register, shooting a lot of gorgeous looking people when all of a sudden I hear this voice behind me say to a friend: ‘I’m not wearing any panties.’ What a beautiful, poignant moment. I thought I’d won the Lotto. Brought tears to my eyes. Quite literally. So I turned around and said: ‘oh reeeeaaaally.’ You know there’s that moment when you just wish the world would swallow you up, never to return? Well I think that was the moment, because our delightful young lady sort of spluttered and stuttered and had a bit of a speed wobble trying to explain to me that I wasn’t supposed to hear her comment. ‘Don’t worry,’ I said to her. ‘I’m not wearing any panties either’ and I ambled off. Anyway, I’m sure there were others in the same boat – it WAS a darned hot day at South Hill after all…
