Karla and Steve’s pre-wedding photo-shoot Macdonald Marine Hotel, North Berwick

As Karla and Steve had travelled north for the Easter weekend to finalize their wedding plans it was the perfect opportunity for us to catch up. With their fourth coming wedding to be held at the Macdonald Marine Hotel, North Berwick, it was the obvious choice for their pre-wedding photo-shoot.

Following a short session indoors, we took a break, chatting through their wedding plans and how the photography would fit into their wedding day, before heading out and making our way down to the beach.

A short walk, a relaxed shoot, great images…the perfect end to a Saturday afternoon.

 

Alexis & Paul’s Wedding Day at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh

A  few images that ‘caught my eye’ as I looked over my work from Alexis and Paul’s wedding day yesterday at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.   It was a wonderful day - the weather was ‘almost’ perfect, the garden beginning to flourish and Alexis and Paul looked amazing.

Studio Style Portrait Session

Toddlers and balloons are a great mix!

Reviewing the images from last weekend’s studio style shoot in Pencaitland, East Lothian.

Great session – hard work, as all shoots involving very young children can be – but great fun.  All toddlers are very individual – you never know how it will go and what you’re going to get – but that’s half the fun.

Angela and William’s pre-wedding photo-shoot in Pencaitland, East Lothian

It was a cold February day in Pencaitland, East Lothian, when Angela, William and myself ventured out for a relaxed pre-wedding photo session.  Their wedding is only a few months away, so it was a perfect opportunity to get out and try some shots together.   

Pre-wedding photo-shoots are a great way for couples and their photographer to get to know each other a little better before the wedding day.  Following the session, couples are able to view some great images of themselves, something to look back on in years to come, but more importantly they are, hopefully, less apprehensive about the photography on their wedding day.

A busy photographic week or two around East Lothian…

It’s been a busy photographic week or two in East Lothian for me with photo-shoots, meeting couples and attending wedding fayres. The Macdonald Marine Hotel, North Berwick, and the Maitlandfield House Hotel in Haddington, were two wedding fayres I was fortunate to attend.

Away from East Lothian, I was also invited to exhibit at Orocco Pier, South Queensferry. Another great day out by the sea!

All these venues are very different, each with their own unique, interesting and varied photographic opportunities. The one thing these venues have in common is great customer service and friendly staff. As a professional working in venues it makes such a difference to the day when all around are friendly, conscientious and equally professional at what they do.

For me, the wedding fayres are an enjoyable break from the norm. It’s great to be able to spend an afternoon chatting with enthusiastic and excited couples who are embarking on their new life together…and hopefully, I will be lucky enough to photograph their special day. Capturing, and at times creating, wonderful images of that day.

Please give me a call, or email, if you would like to discuss the photography of your day and how, together, we can make it special and unique to you.

Janet and Ian’s wedding day at the Marine Hotel, North Berwick, East Lothian…

The MacDonald Marine Hotel in North Berwick was the venue of choice for Janet and Ian’s wedding celebration last weekend.  I’m sure Janet and Ian’s wedding would have been a wonderful occasion wherever it was held, however the Marine simply adds that extra layer of icing on the cake.  It’s elegant decor combined with stunning views create fantastic opportunities to capture amazing images.  

Janet and Ian put their trust in me to record their special day ‘from my eyes’ and if they love the images as much as I do, then I’m sure they’ll be delighted.

A few images from the day…

model headshots

I was asked by the model team, based in Glasgow, to take some headshots of one of their models.  As Jamie is based in central Edinburgh we decided it would be easier for me to create a studio environment in his home.  As with most of my sessions, it was very relaxed with the end result being some great headshots.Jamie’s fortunate to be heading off to Milan in the near future, so I’m sure some interesting, challenging and fun times lie ahead! 

Frame Your Photographs

With photographs, large is best! 

Take your favourite photographs, print large and place in a good quality frame.  It’s simply the best way to display your family images and brighten up your home with something very unique and extremely personal.

Family Photo-shoot

A great way to spend Sunday morning…photographing all the fun and laughter of a family gathering.

All to often we don’t spend enough time with the ones that matter most, so when I’m asked to photograph a family it’s a real privilege.  I spent a very relaxed morning capturing these images. 

Unlike the Soaps this wedding went without a hitch!

I thought I’d better post these pictures separately from the main wedding pics.  As a major Soap fan, Antonia informed me that these were the most important from the day!

The boys – Coronation Street star, Sam (Chesney) Aston and Nick Pickard, aka Tony Hutchinson from Hollyoaks - were in Scotland for a charity football match.  Needless to say they attracted a lot of attention and requests for photographs, however the duo were more than happy to make Antonia’s day extra special by posing for a few personal photographs.
