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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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…

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.

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. 

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.
