Cameron House Wedding - Lynda and Satwant

What a day we had with Lynda and Sat !! I have never seen rain like that before in all my life ! We have shot many weddings at Cameron House but never one as 'dramatic' as this.

The day started off relatively calm with the groom, Sat being escorted to church by a piper and drummer along the Main St to Cardross Parish Church. Dressed in brown kilts the entire wedding party looked superb making their way to the wedding. We then headed up to the bride and got some shots of Lynda getting ready too.  After the ceremony the couple mingled with the guests for a few minutes before leaving the church with a traditional 'scramble'. Then the clouds moved in and this was the scene that greeted us at Cameron House.....

It was torrential !! Fortunately the couple got escorted from the car to the entrance by the excellent Cameron House staff, the poor photographer on the other hand...........

Once we dried off a little and everyone got their breath back we took a tour of the interior of Cameron House and came up with some new and really nice pictures. As we usually have such a stunning vista to play with we dont use the inside of Cameron House as much as we should, however on this day, as there was no vista, we knew it was all going to be indoor shots.

However, being 1500 Photography we werent satisfied with stunning indoor shots.

I mean, come on - it is Cameron House, it is pretty much on our doorstep and it does have 'that' vista...... so we popped up again in the evening and took Lynda and Sat out onto the jetty. As you can see 4/5 hours after the deluge it was a beautiful evening and the perfect way to round off the pictures of the day.

Congratulations to Lynda and Satwant a lovely couple who were an absolute joy to photograph. Their great humour and supportive family made what could have been a traumatic day a pleasure from start to finish.......even with a soaking !!

Glasgow Wedding Photography - Sam and Willie (Holy Cross & the Thistle Hotel)

My relationship with Samantha and Willie goes back quite far as these guys booked me just as 1500 Photography was starting up. In that time I have got to know Sam, Willie, Alyssa and Sam's mum Liz quite well, they are a really nice family and a great laugh.

We started the day at the Thislte Hotel in the city centre before heading to Holy Cross church. Not a huge distance to travel.......unless of course "Take That" are playing at Hampden at the same time. Our original plan of using parts of Queens Park was quickly dismissed and we simply used the beautiful grounds of Holy Cross which was perfect. After taking some pictures back inside the church (by very kind permission) we headed back to The Thistle.

On the day itself I had wonderful help from two brilliant wedding professionals -  Wendy the wedding planner from Utopia Scotland and Aiden Livingston, probably the best toastmaster in Scotland.  With their help and Sam and Willies planning we got some excellent shots on a beautiful wedding day and, despite a little spanner in the works, a great set of pictures too.  www.1500photography.co.uk
