Wedding at House for an Art Lover - Carrie Anne & Alan

Wedding at House for an Art Lover - Carrie Anne & Alan

The first thing that springs to mind when I think about Carrie Anne and Alans wedding at House for an Art Lover is Wow - what a dress!!

But it shouldn't be. There was so much more to enjoy from the day.

We started off at Mar Hall where Carrie Anne was putting her finishing touches together. It is as well we did,  as Carrie Annes Mum ripped her dress zip. Fortunately Gillian swung into action and helped mend the dress with the aid of the 1500 Photography sewing kit (who said that textiles degree was going to waste?!)

I havent been to HFAL for a few years so it was fantastic to see James still looking after the brides there and to see that the standards of the venue have been kept so high.  Sadly we were restricted to indoor photography only as the weather took a nasty turn during the ceremony but since the building is lovely inside we weren't short of options for pictures. However that didnt stop us from getting cracking shot after cracking shot with a brilliant couple in a great location.

Weddings at Cameron House – Emma & John

Back to my favourite venues -Luss Church to Cameron House.

Rather than me rattle on about what a nice wedding this was why dont I leave it to the couple themselves?

Hey Stuart,

It’s been a while since we spoke, so just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for the fantastic photos taken at our wedding. Massively impressed with the quality of them and some of them in particular (the window reflection/some on the pier/speeches/inside cam house) are exceptional. We’ll be recommending you to all our friends and family as the experience was made a whole lot better having you and Gillian there as part of the day. Just fantastic. Cheers for a great day and hopefully we’ll see you and Gillian again on our trips to Loch Lomond and the West coast.

John

(p.s. I noticed you edited Gillian’s arm out of the Luss pier shot holding Emma’s veil – clever stuff! Haha)

We absolutely love them and have spent all weekend showing our friends and family who also think they are fab! We can’t get enough of the photos and the DVD was a nice surprise, we’ve watched it several times and the music selected really matches our taste. We’d like to thank you very much for your hard work as the photos have far exceeded our expectations, they are truly wonderful and once we finalise our album know that it will be something we treasure for the rest of our lives.

Thank You, Emma

A great day. Even complete with a squad of (very polite) Japanese tourists who all got their own pictures of Emma and John on Luss Pier. Brilliant!!!

Millennium Hotel Glasgow Wedding - Gillian & Paul

Millennium Hotel Glasgow Wedding

Another really nice couple for 1500 to photography.

Gillian and Paul had their wedding at the Millennium Hotel right in the very heart of Glasgow. Since the hotel is slap bang in the middle of the city Gillian and Paul thought it would be nice to head out to Kelvingrove Park for the pictures.

On out return to the hotel we used some  of the more striking features of the Millennium to give us some really great shots. Gillian and Paul were fantastic on the day, so friendly and willing and it shows in the pictures.

The last shot in the selection here is one of my favourites of the year!

Winter Portraits - Ewan

Winter Portraits

Just because its getting a wee bit chilly outside it doesn't mean to say that (outdoor) portrait season is over. We took little Ewan to Pollock park to have some fun running about in the cold sunshine, kicking up leaves and skipping through puddles in his wellies.

Ewan had a great time and we got some brilliant shots. There is something beautiful about the low winter light at this time of year. And now we have snow !!!!!!

What are you up to this week? Fancy a portrait ?.........

Doune Castle Wedding - Graham and Stephanie

Doune Castle Wedding

What a wonderful wedding this was. Graham and Stephanie had their Doune Castle wedding , the picturesque  castle featured in Monty Python's 'Holy Grail'.  Stephanie looked absolutely beautiful wearing just simply a fantastic dress and was an absolute joy to photograph.  She got ready at a farm guest house just outside Stirling before we all made our way to Doune.  After a lovely ceremony the couple exited the castle to a 'surprise' pipe band organised by groom Graham. A brilliant touch, in my opinion and perfect for the setting.

After taking lots and lots of great pictures in and around the castle we headed off to the Royal Hotel in Bridge of Allan.  Another really nice touch was Graham giving a trophy during his speech to the furthest travelled guests at the wedding. One of the best looking couples I have photographed in one of the most stunning venues I've ever been to.

A fantastic day and wonderful wedding. Thanks Graham and Steph !!

Burnhouse Manor Wedding - Lisa and William

Burnhouse Manor Wedding

This was my first Burnhouse Manor wedding for a few years. I was delighted to be back to shoot Lisa and William's wedding on a breezy August afternoon. We started the day at Lisa's mum's house which was just around the corner from where the boys were getting ready. This let us catch the madness at both locations !!

Then it was onto St Convals before heading down to Burnhouse Manor. Once there we took 10 minutes out from the day in the bridal suit and photographed Lisa and William with their young 3 kids. This guaranteed that we got great family pictures during the wedding but without any of the stress and hassle of trying to arrange the kids during the formal shots. After that the kids could go play and the couple didn't have to worry about getting them in the pictures any more. Lisa looked absolutely beautiful and William was (obviously) a great laugh keeping Lisa amused in all the pictures.

A great day and a really lovely couple.

Bothwell Castle Wedding - Amie & Ryan

Bothwell Castle Wedding

Amie and Ryan are another one of those couple who you 'click' with the minute you meet them.

I was delighted the shoot their wedding at Bothwell Castle despite the fact that we didn't have the weather on our side.

We started off at Amie's folks house in Strathaven before making our way to the castle. There was very little let up in the rain but for a 20 minute spell from Amie arriving until the couple walked down the isle again.

A lucky break and no more than this top couple deserved. We managed to get quite a few shots under cover of umbrella and sheltered by castle wall before we had to concede defeat and head back to the Strathaven Hotel. Once there we shot the rest of our groups and one or two of those 'special' 1500 shots which lead us to design a perfect album for Ryan and Amie.

As a footnote our spooky Strahaven baby story continues with Amie and Ryan coming home from honeymoon with a baby on the way. That makes 3 out of 3 ......... There must be something in the water down there!!
