THE ONE WITH THE BREWERY, THE PRETZEL CANAPES, AND THE HOMEBREW FAVOURS
We were with Shannon and Daniel last August at WEST Brewery in Glasgow for their big day. The pair came across us long before they had started making any wedding plans, but knew they wanted to have us capture their day when the time came. And were so glad they did! Having shot at WEST before, we were excited to get back into that setting with a brand-new couple. Set in Glasgow Green, the location was perfect for those indoor industrial shots next to barrels, brew tanks, and gorgeous exposed brick walls; and for escaping out to the park to get some pictures in the sunshine. We love the venue, which we often dip into when in Glasgow for some awesome food and drink, and there is definitely something super cool about shooting at a brewery! Shannon and Daniel both work in the alcohol industry – hence the venue choice. Their tables were named after their love for travel and booze, which was a cool touch. Shannon’s dress was lovely, topped off by an amazing flower crown by Betty Bluebell. Beautiful! This wedding wasn’t short of a treat or two, with a stunning cake by Moonbow bakery, a table of cakes and sweets, and favours for all the guests in the form of Shannon and Daniel’s own homebrewed cocktails in jars. We absolutely love this kind of personal touch! The guests were treated to a tour of the brewery, but when it was empty, we took the bride and groom back in for more pictures. The photos we got here were in complete contrast to the ones we captured earlier in the park, so it was great to cover the whole spectrum. In the evening, everyone was in the best of spirits, up dancing and having a great time, which is always a joy to capture and makes our job that bit easier. Overall, we had a great day shooting this wedding. It’s incredible how often we work a full day but feel like we’ve had the best time. Shannon and Daniel were a breeze to photograph and a joy to spend the day with, as well as their super nice guests, who we agreed on our drive home were some of the nicest we’ve encountered to date - and that is saying something! A personal highlight for Tonie was the pretzels which were served instead of canapés. Because Tonie loves pretzels. Like, a lot. Take a look at our best of WEST below!
