Lochside House Wedding - Catriona & Martin

And to the last wedding of 2009 for 1500 - Catriona and Martin down at Lochside House.

And with a top couple too. Both Martin and Catriona have a brilliant sense of self depricating humour and great wit which makes them superb company. With Catrionas wedding we started off at her parents farmhouse in Cumnock.

We must have looked a sight as we made our way over to the broken down shed at the edge of the farm, me in my  suit and Catriona in her wedding dress and wellies, but its lovely textures lead to a beautiful picture. Then onto Lochside to shoot the rest of the day before the sun went down and let us in the dark.


Its probably no secret Lochside House is one of my favourite venues. Its not just the beautiful scenery, rolling hills or dramatic Ayrshire clouds, but the staff at Lochside are always first rate. The wedding co-ordinator Linsey is a star and always makes sure the day runs smoothly without being bossy, a rare quality indeed.

So that brings the curtain down on the 1500 Photography weddings for 2009.

Watch the space for the "Shot of the Year" competition which we will have throughout February.  1500 Photography

Wedding at Oran Mor - Joanne & James

We only had two weeks notice with Joanne and James's wedding. Sadly they had been let down by their photographer, but happily we were available to step in.

It was great news for us as we had three great venues to work with - Jonannes folks house, Park Circus and Oran Mor.


We got some stunning picture from the couple despite the awful cold conditons and the incoming darkeness. Joanne and James were an absolute delight to work with and I am very pleased with the shots (the last of the set above is actually shot by candle-light in Oran Mor).

Wedding at Buchanan Arms - Paul and Catherine

For the second time this year we attended a wedding at the Buchanan Arms Hotel in Drymen.


We started the day at Catherine's mums house (as usual with 1500 Photography) then made our way to Our Holy Redeemer church in Clydebank before heading for the Buchanan Arms. Once again we got some stunning shots at the area across from the hotel and some cracking views from the top of the hill.


A lovely day with the hotel being exceptionally helpful as usual.

Glenskirlie Wedding Photography - Mairi & Gavin

For Mairi and Gavins wedding we were back to Glenskirlie House hotel.

We started the day at Mairi parents house in Balloch as she was putting her finishing touches together. A calmer bride I cannot remember meeting before a wedding, totally chilled and carefree. Gavin on the other hand.........


Gavin had also unfortunately walked into the open boot of his car a few days before the wedding and a little more photoshop cosmetic work was required with this groom. Still all's well that ends well.

With a really friendly family and a brilliant couple to work with this was a great wedding to shoot.
