Wedding at Luss Church and Cameron House - Jude and Ben

Wedding at Luss Church and Cameron House


Ben and Jude's Wedding at Luss Church and Cameron House was  just a fantastic day with a wonderful couple. We enjoyed ourselves so much, and felt so welcomed, by both sides of the family that we often felt more like guests than suppliers on the day. Both Jude and Ben are the kind of couple you speak to for 5 minutes and feel like you've known for years (must be the natural Irish charm). This immediate bond and instant rapport meant that the pictures on the day were an absolute breeze to produce.

We started the day at Luss Estate Cottages (where the remnants of the previous nights fireworks were still scattered around) to get some shots of both sides getting ready. Ben looked like he was born in a kilt and Jude looked simply amazing. I looked less amazing though as I warned everybody to watch their feet on the slippy decking....... only to succumb to the greasy surface myself. At least the camera wasn't involved.

Then it was onto the beautiful Luss Church and the usual excellent service from the Rev Sherrard. After the ceremony we nipped down to the (freezing) Loch side before heading to Cameron House. As I said Ben and Jude (and both families) were a joy to work with and we got loads of lovely images. The couple had also asked us to stay on and capture the evenings entertainment, so after some cracking speeches we then made sure that all important first dance was shot too. A fantastic wedding where both Gillian and myself really felt a part of the day. Thank you both

Crutherland House Wedding - Lesley and Steven

Crutherland House Wedding - Lesley and Steven


Lesley and Stevens Crutherland House wedding has a bit of a story attached to it, so bare with me. 7 years ago I shot Lesley's graduation photo. Lesley was really impressed with her pictures and vowed that I would be the person she gets to shoot her wedding. However at that time I was working for another studio which has since shut down and obviously moved on to start 1500 Photography. I am touched to reveal that, even after all that time, Lesley hunted me down online, eventually found me and asked if I would be available to shoot her wedding - how could I possibly say no? I was humbled to be asked.

So as you would expect we started the day at Lesleys parents house (where I got to see those graduation pictures, hung pride of place in the dining room) to capture Lesleys preparations. Then it was onto Crutherland House where the couple had opted for a humanist ceremony. Then we had the slightly ominous prospect of shooting a good number of complicated group shots. Again though I have to pay tribute to Lesley who had the guests prepped and organised - despite my reservations, the group shots ran like absolute clockwork.

Everything about the couple really impresses me. Their organisation, their determination and the bond that they have with each other. It was a fantastic day to be a part of and and I so thrilled that Lesley spent so long searching for me. A touching experience which I am very proud of.

Hamilton Park Wedding - Sharon and Iain

Hamilton Park Wedding


Sharon and Iain's Hamilton Park Wedding was frankly a sheer stroke of luck. The weather in the week building up to the wedding had been awful and to be honest I was a little concerned about what we would have available on the day for the pictures. I guess I would have pulled something out of the bag but I must admit it was a with a great deal of relief I awoke on the day to find a brilliantly bright crisp autumn day. I have known the groom Iain for a few years now as we have done business together through his company, Sole Media. We used their services to launch our Deja Vu service. But then it turns out that I also know Stuart the best man who is the owner of Diva the dog who won us a Kodak nomination & an MPA award of excellence ....... all very connected.

Sharon looked absolutely sensational. Her dress was beautiful and I think she got her hair absolutely spot on. Classy and elegant. Iain also looked every inch the handsome groom too. There were so many lovely little touches on the day too - including a table hosting photos from their family weddings over the years - that I think I could do a separate blog on all the details of the day. A wonderful day with a lovely couple - just the kind of weddings I love to shoot. Congratulations again, Sharon & Iain
