Brig O'Doon Wedding - Susanne and Kevin

Brig O'Doon Wedding


Cracking couple and a cracking day for this Brig O'Doon Wedding.

Susanne and Kevin enjoyed one of the nicest days of the year during their spring wedding  in Ayrshire. We got some absolutely beautiful shots of Susanne getting ready at her mum and dads, just around the corner, before nipping back to get some great shots of Kevin outside Alloway Parish Church.

Anyone who has ever been to a wedding at Brig O doon will tell you that the day always runs like clockwork, they have weddings down to a fine art. With such a beautiful day we knew we were going to get great shots around the venue but what we didnt bank on was how much fun we would have with Kevin and Susanne. They are such a friendly couple full of life and always ready for a laugh (you can probably see this from the pictures) - it was a great day. In fact I think I would have loved to have been a guest at this wedding - sunshine, champagne, string quartet and a lovely outdoor setting. Top day.

Anything to get the shot !!

House For An Art Lover Wedding


This is one of my favourite pictures of me taken at a wedding.

Invariably any time I take this shot at House for an Art Lover there are calls of 'Jump' or 'Don't do it' depending on the mood of the guests. I thought it would be fun to show what they see and what I see........


so standing here gives you this shot -



Well worth the risks, I'd say........

Amanda & Stewart Pt 2 - 1500 Days

I almost forgot to mention one of the most delightful bits of serendipity Ive ever heard of. As a romantic statement to make during his grooms speech on the day Stewart counted up how long he and Amanda had been together.


The answer was exactly 1500 days.

House for an Art Lover Wedding - Amanda & Stewart

House for an Art Lover Wedding - Amanda and Stewart


This House for an Art Lover wedding was a real highlight for me.

Amanda and Stewart are a brilliant couple and on our very first meeting I was welcomed into parents Susan and Ian's home and immediately made to feel like a family friend. On the day of the wedding we were back at Susan and Ian's to get Amanda's preparation shots.

Ian had this idea for a picture of Amanda in the mirror with the family portrait in the background. I really like the idea and not only did it make a great picture  but its gone on to feature in the latest issue of the Scottish Wedding Directory. Thanks Ian !!


Weddings at House for an Art Lover always run like clockwork and this is great credit to James the co-ordinator at the venue. He is always there to make sure that a brides every whim is looked after (and to make sure the photographer doesn't take too long!!) We were also really lucky with the weather which went from gusty rain to a lovely sunny day within the space of 2 hours. Amanda and Stewart were just fantastic to photograph and nothing was too much bother for them. Their willingness and enthusiasm to get great pictures guaranteed a brilliant day for me and a fabulous album for them.

A top venue, top couple, lovely families and fantastic set of pictures.

Houston House Wedding - Graeme & Nicola

Houston House Wedding


What a cracking couple Graeme and Nicola are. Really relaxed and laid back.

As usual we started off in Nicolas room getting some of the final preparation shots. With (oddly a first for me) a lovely shot of all the girls in their bath robes first! Then it was onto the ceremony before shooting the rest of the shots around the gardens of Houston House.

I think Nicola looked absolutely stunning and what a beautiful dress.


It is with some amusement I note that the 'big tree' in the grounds of  Houston House, a staple of all wedding photography there for goodness knows how long, has developed an alarming lean !! I have no idea what we are all going to do if the hotel take it away. I think a campaign should be launched now, just in case.......
