Boturich Castle Wedding Photographer | Loch Lomond | Cat and Stuart
When I sit down to write these blogs, I feel as though I am just repeating myself over and over. I type the first line, which is usually something like..."Man o' man this wedding was a beaut!" then I delete it and try to write something different. BUT, I am one lucky photographer and every wedding I document....is always a BEAUT!!!!!
So.....Man o' man this wedding was beaut!!! Cat and Stuart booked me aaaages ago and we finally met last October for their engagement shoot where we took a wander around a country park with their beautiful Golden Lab, DUGS NAME! It was like taking a walk with a couple of pals and I knew that their wedding day was going to be super chill and full of good folks. I was right.

Today, we have the amazing Ian and Jennifer. THEEEE most laid back folks ever. Jennifer was dancing around in her bridal suite before the wedding, laughing and smiling the whole time. Ian was super cool and being an absolute gent the whole day. This was a fun one.
Read MoreGlasgow City Centre Wedding | One Devonshire Gardens Wedding Photographer
I've often found that last minute bookings can turn out to be the best weddings. Anna and Greg got in touch with me about a month before their wedding. I was fully booked and as wedding season begins to kick in, the stress was building BUT my gut feeling was that this wedding was going to be awesome.
I checked my diary and as it happens, I had their date available. Cut to a month later and I'm having the best time with Anna and Greg and 15 of their family at St Leos the Great and One Devonshire Gardens. It was so chilled and easy. I was welcomed with smiles and instantly felt relaxed.
Read MoreRoss Priory Wedding Photographer | Valeria and Tony
So one afternoon about 3 weeks ago, an email pops into my inbox. A very cool email from a newly wed couple from Germany. They were visiting our beautiful country (Scotland duh) and were bringing along their wedding dress/suit and were looking for a shoot in Loch Lomond at and around their hotel. For reasons I wont go into, it wasn't possible, but the LEGENDS at Ross Priory said "nae bother, fill your boots" and our boots we did fill....filled with beautifulness.
I give you....Tony and Valeria
Read MoreCallendar Park Engagement Session | Dani and Ryan
Dani and Ryan are getting married in July. They booked me in January 2016 but due to being a couple of jetsetters, we only managed to schedule in their engagement shoot a couple of weeks ago. It was worth the wait.
As us Scots know all to well, the Scottish weather can put a spanner in the works pretty easily so after keeping an eye on the weather for a few days before we decided to make the shoot nice and early to catch that beautiful morning light. We timed it perfectly.
A great warm up for the big day at Rufflets in July :)
Read MoreGlasgow University Wedding Photographer | Malissa and Gordon
So we're already into the second quarter of the year and I'm in full blown wedding season. Lots of amazing weddings to show you all already so keep an eye out as they'll be popping up on here in the not too distant future.
Today we have Malissa and Gordon. Malissa has the most beautiful Irish accent and with all her friends and family over for the wedding I was chatting to as many people as I could. Not just because their accent was a pleasure to listen to but they were all extremely nice and the bridesmaid laughed from start to finish. Gordon is the quiet IT guy and the perfect match for Malissa. They were very easy to photograph and embraced the wedding with everything they had.
Read MoreAvonbridge Hotel Wedding Photographer | Nic and Dom
What a lovely chilled out day this was at the Avonbridge Hotel, literally 5 minutes from my house which is always nice.
Nic and Dom have been together since they were a couple of young bucks. Only 15! They met up for their first date....in the pub!
The day was chilled out and they celebrated with a small number of friends and family before the bus load came for the evening shindig. A super easy couple to photograph especially with Nic being an absolute knockout in a lovely vintage styled lace dress. Dom, you looked OK mate, even though we had to keep telling you to tuck your shirt in.
Read MoreWedding Photographer South Queensferry.
oday I bring you the wedding of Gavin and Alyson. A fun filled day on the beach in the quaint town of South Queensferry at Orocco Pier.
I had been looking forward to this wedding after my initial meeting with Gavin and Alyson. They were relaxed but organised and knew they wanted the day documented with little fuss. My ideal kind of peeps so when the day came around and I was greeted with smiles in the morning at Bridal prep, I knew I was in for a great wedding. I was not disappointed.
Read Moret was an absolute pleasure being Sarah and Robert's wedding photographer at Airth Castle. It was my first time shooting there and I was not disappointed. We were spoiled with some amazing autumn colours and that juicy golden light that we photographers love.
Read MoreGlasgow Wedding Photographer | Smiles of 2016
SSSooooo much fun looking through all the weddings I photographed in this year. I am so lucky to have THEE BEST couples book me for their weddings. Yearly recap blog posts tend to show off only the best pictures a photographer has taken during that year. I like to show the images that show off what weddings are all about...happiness. Obviously there's much more to it, the happiness is what I enjoy most. So here's my version...Smiles of 2016.
Thank you to everyone who was in front of my lens this year, I love you all.
See if you can spot me in one of these images.
Read MoreGlasgow University | Loch Lomond Arms Wedding Photographer.
Absolute belter of a wedding to show you all today! The story of a tall man and a short woman. Lindsay and Ross, booked me only 6 months before their wedding (a very late booking for me) then turned out to be one of the best weddings I've photographed this year.
They married at Glasgow University Chapel and then onto the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel which sits proudly in the small village of Luss. We headed down the water (obviously) and spent some time trying to not get any Japanese tourists in the background of the images (we failed, thank goodness for the clone tool in Photoshop) and l I had a lot of fun at their wedding.
Prepare yourself for 2 very good looking people ladies and gentleman...
Read MorePhotographing a friends wedding is special for a number of reasons.
Reason 1 - You feel that extra connection to the couple.
Reason 2 - Guests also tend to know you so are even more comfortable with you buzzing around taking pictures.
Most importantly, Reason 3 - You can get drunk.
Read MoreDalziel Park has a special place in my heart. In my first year of business I photographed there a couple of times. I hadn't been back in about 4 years so I was excited to see what I could do there with much more experience.
I totally lucked out as it was an absolute glorious day and I had a couple who let me do anything I wanted and didn't moan (too much) when I was gushing over the amazing light we got after dinner (You'll see later).
Diane and Scott are the type of couple that when you first meet them, you feel like you've known them for years. Extremely welcoming and lovely people, just my type of people.
Read MoreCottiers Wedding Photographer | Alan and Catherine
I absolutely love a city wedding and Cottiers Theatre, set in Glasgows West End, is the perfect location. Alan and Catherine spent a lot of time and effort putting special touches on their wedding. From Alan's brownie point achieving wedding presents for Catherine in the morning (look out for the love note that could pass as a ransom note) to the miles of bunting they MADE THEMSELVES!!!!! to the Buckfast favours and we can't forget the 150 tea cups and saucers that Alan and Catherine spent so long washing.
Their wedding was made even more special to me as they are friends of mine which meant I got to drink beer, after the camera was put away of course. It's always nice to play a role in your friends weddings so i was lucky to have such creative friends who know how to put on a wedding!
It's at this point I let the pictures do the talking.
Read MoreRoss Priory Wedding Photographer | Darren and Michelle
It's no secret that Ross Priory, Loch Lomond is probably my favourite venue. The building has that gothic vibe, it sits right on the water with a stunning view and the gardens....oh my goodness..the gardens are stunning. It even has that gorgeous long driveway with trees lining the road leading up to it, and when it opens up to that stunning view over Loch Lomond, it's hard not to find yourself open mouthed in awe of its beauty.
