On the board.....
At this years Scottish Master Photographer awards ceremony I was asked to join the committee of the MPA in Scotland.
I was delighted to accept (I'm told).
MPA members can ONLY be full time professional photographers. No weekend amateurs or part-time operatives are permitted and all members must have full professional indemnity insurance and public liability. This means that all of our clients have the protection of knowing that their photographer is a fully qualified professional who abides to strict codes of conduct. We also try to improve our own photographic knowledge by inviting guest speakers from all over the world to help us understand new techniques and methods.
My first input into the regions plans for this year is to try and persued a photographer I greatly admire to come and talk to us. Chris Blott. You may have seen his work in the fashion pages of the Sunday Herald or if you are a bride to be, in the Scottish Wedding Directory.
He is an awesome photographer, and one that I have been an avid fan of for many years. Check out his website here. Inspiring stuff. And best of all - he is Scottish.

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
