1500 Photography – Shot of the Year 2010

Its that time of year again. Time to vote for......

1500 Photography’s “Wedding Shot of the Year”

Have a look through the images and pick your two favourites.  Obviously many of the couples involved will want to vote for themselves, this is absolutely fine as long as you remember and cast another vote too which will help ascertain the best picture taken by 1500 in2010. This was really really hard for me to only pick only one shot from each wedding as there are so many that I love, so my apologies if your own personal favourite isnt there.
The winners  will not only receive the ‘kudos’ of being voted the most popular picture of 2010 but they will also receive a framed 10×8 of the image and find themselves gracing the front page of our website.

Pass this link onto friends, family and colleagues and get as many votes as you can and good Luck !!

The poll closes on the 1st of March 2010.

Lodge on Loch Lomond Wedding - Laura & James

Lodge on Loch Lomond Wedding

Just another brilliant couple for us to photograph.

Laura and James held their wedding at Lodge on Loch Lomond. As everything was taking place at the Lodge,  we got some great shots of James nervously waiting about before heading up to catch Laura getting her final preparations together. Then onto the humanist ceremony before heading out to the loch side for some pictures. Not only had Laura had the foresight and kindness to lay on a big box of flip flops for her lady guests to slip into, she had also organised a surprise boat trip to keep the guests amused during the pictures.

Despite the business of Luss pier and the beach we still some some fantastic shots. Such a laid back and easy going couple always makes my job a joy. Thanks guys x

Duck Bay Hotel Wedding - Neil and Jade

Duck Bay Hotel Wedding

Neil and Jade got married at the Duck Bay Hotel right on the banks of Loch Lomond.

I have to say that when we arrived at Jades house beforehand she was the calmest bride-to-be I have ever came across on the day of her wedding. It's not often a girl in full make-up, wedding dress and perfect hair asks if your sure you don't want a cup of tea !! Best friend and 'Man of honour'  Ross was also on hand to help soak up and nerves. Things were slightly more tense at the Duck Bay with the lads (but isn't that always the way?) However the legendary Mrs Thomson was on hand at Duck Bay to make sure everything was running as smooth as possible (usual)

Because Duck Bay is situated so near the water there can be the unfortunate side effect of the surround grounds retaining any rainfall for a while. This meant finding a different areas to shoot our groups and couples shots at.  The unlikely 'haunted house' just along the road from the hotel proved to be an idea backdrop for some of the shots with the overspill car park (shot 2 above) working really well for us as too. There is a maxim in photography - it's not what you look at, it's how you 'see' it. Obviously it also helps to have Loch Lomond right next to you...........

Winnock Hotel Wedding, Drymen - Lyndsay & Andrew

Winnock Hotel Wedding, Drymen - Lyndsay & Andrew

We had a lovely day with this Winnock Hotel wedding, starting off at St Marys in Kirkintiloch and finishing back at Drymen. Great couple, really nice attendants and two lovely families.

As per our standard service we started the day at Lyndsays mums house getting those final preparation pictures before we made our way for the wedding at St Marys in Kirkintilloch. After a lovely ceremony there we headed to Balmaha for the couples shots before heading back to the Winnock Hotel for the reception. I love shooting down at this spot in Balmaha.  There is a special quality in pictures when you take shots near the water.



I know I often spend a lot of my time on here gushing about how great my couples are but I reckon I must be one of the luckiest photographers in Britain. Lyndsay and Andrew were just so nice and the bridesmaids (esp Jo) were so helpful. The last shot in the series above has to be the last one though, the shot immediately afterwards has Lyndsays garter wrapped around her foot! The garter then spent the rest of the day in Andrews sporran. Unfortunately the hankie/garter mix up we were all hoping for never materialised.
