Moorpark House Hotel Wedding – Alison & Kenny

A new venue for 1500 Photography - Moorpark House in Ayrshire.

Alison and Kenny had a lovely wedding with lots of personal touches which made the day really memorable, from ‘God only knows’ by the Beach Boys during the ceremony to Alison’s scarlet shoes !!

A really friendly and relaxed wedding with a lovely couple who were an absolute joy to work with. I should also pay tribute to my ‘assistant’ on the day, Ms Barry. A very capable deputy who helped me with the wedding as Gillian couldn’t make it – thanks Sheila

We also had to deal with best man Colin’s cuts and scratches. Unfortunately a few days before the wedding Colin had a minor mishap resulting in the need for some photoshop cosmetic work.

Strangely we had the exact problem the very next wedding with the groom………

Gleddoch House Wedding Pictures – Lesley and Steve

Another cracking couple, and a pleasant return to Gleddoch House.

Steve and Lesley are a lovely couple based in London who returned to Lesley’s neck of the woods to tie the knot. As usual we started off at Lesley’s parents house to catch the finishing touches of her preparations before making our way to St James in Renfrew (a church Ive passed many times but this was my first visit). After the ceremony we made our way to Gleddoch, making sure to stop at the top of the driveway to include some of the grand vista in the pictures.

Again meeting with the couple at the venue before the wedding paid major dividends allowing us the look at which areas we could use in good weather, bad weather and where we could shoot a full group of the entire wedding party. With Lesley and Stave both enthusiastic about their photography, they were a model couple and brilliant company, who couldn’t have been nicer. They even asked us to stay on as guests for the evening !!

How lovely – 1500 Photography

Portraits at home – Paisley Portriat

A wee break from the weddings with a couple of portraits. First we have the beautiful little Neve. What an absolute cutie and so well behaved too. As with all our portrait clients we recommend that, rather than get all dressed up and drag yourself off to the phony studio environment – you should relax and let us come to you.

That way any changes of clothes or toys required and the general familiar environment helps puts kids at ease. It is also a lovely way to ‘bookmark’ that point in your life too. The context of a home portrait doesn’t seem that valuable until a few years later – that couch, that wallpaper, those toys etc.

Cameron House Wedding/Celtic Warrior Loch Lomond

Its weddings like Simon and Natalie’s that remind you why you love your job so much in the first place. With their kids Ewen and Erin and both of their Dads in attendance, Simon and Natalie got married on the Celtic Warrior on Loch Lomond. This very small wedding party lead to a wonderfully warm and memorable day, The civil ceremony took place on the boat before we headed back to Cameron House for pictures and The Boat House for dinner.

There were so many lovely little moments on the day including Ewen being quickly promoted to assistant captain and steering us home, the captain, quite literally, moving the mountains (turning the boat) for my pictures and of course two cracking older gents with a very dry sense of humour. Most of all though the day will be remembered for the brilliant couple we met, Simon and Natalie. They were an absolute pleasure to shoot on the day and I look forward to meeting up with them both again soon.

Oran Mor Wedding - Rhona and Ally (no3)

And so the the 3rd Ally of the week, this time Alastair marrying the lovely Rhona at Greenbank Church in Glasgow.

Once again we started off at the brides home before we moved onto the church. As you can see from below Rhona’s parents garden in Dunlop was spectacular, in fact the temptation to insist we returned to there to shoot the entire wedding was almost overwhelming.

After the ceremony we used a little area next to the manse before heading to the city and to Oran Mor. With its stunning ceiling and some very nice nooks and cranny’s we always get some great shots there. Before the wedding both Rhona and Ally seemed a little reticent about having their pictures taken - however, I need not have worried. On the day itself Rhona and Ally were really into it and gave me some brilliant shots. We also had the added fun of a close up magician (Kevin McMahon) bamboozling the guests while the waited for dinner. You can see Kevin in action below…….

So there you are. Alasdair week at 1500 Photography - great week, top couples and some brilliant pictures - thank you all 1500 Photography

Sherbrooke Castle Wedding - Mairi and Ally No2

Another cracking couple for 1500 to photograph.

We started off at Mairi’s parents house before heading off to Ardgowan Evangelical Church in Greenock. As with our previous wedding, Mairi and Ally also had a small post service ‘cup of tea’ reception immediately after the ceremony. We then took a slight detour to the esplanade before heading to Sherbrooke Castle. I haven’t been to Sherbrooke for a few years and it was great to be back - especially now that the upgrade work has finished.

Im sure you will agree that Mairi looked simply stunning, a very classic beauty with Alasdair scrubbing up pretty well too and cutting a real dash in his kilt. I must also mention both families, who were so helpful with the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself with Mairi’s very accomplished family providing much of the music throughout the ceremony. It was an excellent day all round, surrounded by such a lovely bunch of people. Superb
