Bill and Joanne

What can I say about Bill and the beautiful Joanne ? I am really lucky in this job in that I get to meet so many really nice people from all over the world. These guys, for instance, came all the way over from Canada to get married in Scotland . I was fortunate enough to be chosen as their photographer at a small but intimate wedding at Park Circus . They had a very moving personal ceremony (which almost got me teary !!!) before a stroll around the marriage rooms and a wee bit of Kelvingrove Park.

I felt truly honored to be a part of their wedding.*

A memorable day and a real joy. My best wishes to you both.

I am a very lucky chap.

*Less honored to be present at Bill’s ‘Braveheart’ photo, but there you go. I guess you can take the boy out of Carmyle, but……!

Drumclog Church - May

We were back down to the Strathaven Hotel again recently - and what a change in the weather in only 2 months later. Paul and Louise suffered torrential rain which didn’t let up all day, where as Ian and Lisa had an absolutely stunning day.

This time we started off with a few shots a Lisa's mum’s house before onto Drumclog Church for the wedding ceremony. A really nice church set in the rolling hills just outside Strathaven. After releasing some doves after the ceremony (a first for me) we relaxed at the Strathaven Hotel before running through a few group shots.

The excellent idea that Ian and Lisa had, was to build lots of spare time into their day. Meaning that they could afford spend time mingling with friends and enjoy the sunshine between mini photo shoots. The results, of course were stunning as a really relaxed couple enjoyed the sun, champagne and company of their friends - an ideal summer wedding. The results speak for themselves

Famous for four pages !!

Have you got your copy of the latest issue of the Real Life Weddings magazine ?
1500 Photography is featured in Scotland's premier wedding magazine, with a four page spread on Peter and Amy's wedding from July last year.
A stunning day, cracking couple and fantastic venue.

Despite the bride running a wee bit late (ahem!) together we worked very hard with Lochside House
to make up the time. However, we managed to achieve this without sacrificing any photography at all. and still captured some remarkable shots and have everyone seated for dinner in good time.
See the wedding feature here, click on current issue and got straight to page 70.
And yes, I did iron the dress.

Back to a Cameron House Wedding

Many congratulations to Stuart and Irene, married recently at Cameron House. A much smaller and more intimate affair than the usual 1500 wedding. Irene looked absolutely lovely with Stuart scrubbing up very respectably indeed. As is always the way with a Cameron House wedding the service was matched only by the stunning scenery.
It was also great to see the wedding officiated by Ian Miller, surely Scotlands most popular (and prolific?) minister. Ian was the minister at the very first wedding I shot, on a small boat, in the shallows, on Loch Lomond way back in 1990. That was a very small wedding too, and one which I remember with great fondness.
I bet I will still remember Stuart and Irene's wedding in 18 years time too.......
