Glynhill Hotel Paisley, Wedding - Camille and Martin

Wedding Photography Glynhill Hotel

We went to Renfrewshire for our next wedding. The lovely Camille married Martin at the Glynhill Hotel in Renfrew.

I remember well that the Glynhill always used to be a difficult venue to shoot a wedding at, due to the lack of grounds available. However, I am delighted to report that this is no longer the case. A great little garden area has been arranged at the back of the hotel giving us a terrific little spot for some of shots and to relax in. Camille also liked the idea of using a larger garden area so we also nipped up to the walled gardens at Barshaw Park for some extra shots of just the couple but I was really impressed with what the Glynhill had done.

As you can see it was another stunning spring day and the cold champagne went down an absolute treat (I'm told). After our little detour to the walled gardens at Barshaw Park

A lovely day with a really, really nice couple. I am so pleased that Camille and Martin had such a good day for their wedding. Sadly this was the last time we saw the sun for the next good while. Although we have often been lucky with the weather on the day of the weddings, its been an awfully poor Summer.

Wedding at Glenbervie House Hotel (& St Andrews Glasgow) - Ashleigh and Davie

Our story of Ashleigh and Davies wedding at Glenbervie was featured recently on the fantastic 'We Fell in Love' Scottish Wedding Blog (you should really bookmark it!!)

Hopefully their images and a bit more of their story will be appearing soon in the best Scottish magazine around - The Scottish Wedding Directory. So, at the risk of totally over exposing them, I thought I would add them to my own blog (before they get too famous!). It is one of the few occasions where we didn't attend the 'bride getting ready' first and instead focused in on the groom at the church. It brought a whole different flow to the pictures of the day which I really enjoyed.

This was the first of two visits we had to St Andrews Cathedral in the space of a few days (see Hazel, below) but it was the first time I had worked and Glenbervie and I must say, what a pleasant experience it was. Lots of interesting nooks and crannies for our couple to pose in and a fantastic lawn to play with and a peacock - I loved it! You can see what a handsome couple Davie and Ashleigh make and it was great to be involved with a couple who were so particular about their photography, bringing their own ideas into the shots and setting aside plenty of time for the pictures.

I will leave the last word on the wedding to Ashleigh who, when asked about how her and Davie got together answered with this great wee story  -

"We bumped into each other in a nightclub that we both love (The classy Shed in Shawlands). A song that we liked came on which we both started to dance to. We were dancing back to back and literally bumped into each other! We both apologised and then had some cheeky chat: Davie: “I think you’ll find I was dancing here first so you will need to move” Ashleigh: “haha I think you’ll find I was dancing far better than you so you’ll need to move!” Davie: “Well there is only one way to settle this, a dance off!” Ashleigh “haha you’re on!” … we still disagree to this day on who actually won the dance off!"

This was just one of those weddings where everything ran smoothly, absolutely to plan, really nice guests who helped, a stunning couple and fantastic weather.  A 'perfect day'which appropriately enough was the 'marryoke' song they performed in the evening for the fabulous Gee-Whizz Wedding Video

Little did I know then that this was about the only sunshine we were to see over the summer months.......

St Andrews Cathedral Glassgow to Lodge on Loch Lomond - Hazel & Chris

What a wonderful scorching day we had for Hazel and Chris's wedding at St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow. With the couple both getting ready at the Grand Central and having their reception at Lodge on the Loch, we were spoiled for choice when it came to photo opportunities.

Hazel looked absolutely beautiful, Chris looked very dapper and St Andrews looked truly awesome.

    

As you can imagine the stunning weather meant that Loch Lomond was absolutely heaving. However once we got back to the Lodge and some welcome shade Chris and Hazel worked with me to produce some simply lovely images. Its funny writing up this blog in July when have been suffering through one of the worst summers I can remember. It makes me look back with even more fondness to Hazels wedding.
