Loch Lomond Arms Wedding - Emma and David

Loch Lomond Arms Wedding

Emma and Davids Loch Lomond arms wedding was my first visit to this lovely venue situated at the top of Luss 'high st'. What a great couple Emma and David are, there were fewer more beautiful brides than Emma and fewer cuter page-boys than the couple's son Ben. We started off as we always do with some bridal prep shots at the Loch Lomond Arms before making our way down to Luss Church. During the ceremony the minister got a little mixed up and tried to marry the best man to the bride. There was much hilarity but thankfully the right people were eventually married !







Once the ceremony was over we took Emma and David down to the shore at Loch Lomond and onto Luss pier. I have to say that Emma was amazing braving the cold to get such amazing shots.....especially as in all the shots of the couple around the Loch Emma is wearing her wellies !! Once back to the Loch Lomond Arms we saw how fantastically the room had been set up. The couple had really put a lot of thought into how to dress essentially a bare room. It looked fabulous. After the first dance, my last act of cruelty to the poor bride was to ask if she fancied stepping outside for a final shot in the rain. I am delighted to say that Emma agreed and the resulting shot is terrific. It was a shot that I would repeat at this venue again, except the next time, it was really coming down. A tremendous couple who were so much fun and such a great laugh. Thank you both.

Wedding at Cameron House

Wedding at Cameron House - Katie and Alex

Another Wedding at Cameron House another brilliant couple. Katie and Alex had a blistering day for their wedding on the shores of Loch Lomond. By contrast to Ryan and Shelly's wedding this was a much larger day, starting at Cameron House then heading up to Luss Church before returning back down to Cameron House again. But a very strange quirk the couple had a family friend officiate the wedding, Tina. This is I remember Tina from my very first job as a YTS at the newspaper where Tina was the Editor over 20 years ago. Small world indeed !
 





What really stood out at this wedding was Alex's wicked sense of humour. His grooms speech was absolutely fantastic and one of the funniest I've ever heard. I actually felt sorry for the best man (Alex's brother) having to follow him. The other real stand out on the day (apart from the weather) was how utterly lovely Katie looked. The top centre shot of this collection is a real show stopper - I love it. And it proves that you don't need to smile in every picture !

I was also fortunate that after dinner we had a really dramatic sky overhead and I asked Alex and Katie back out onto the Cameron House lawn for a few dusk pictures. It was a lovely way to finish off the day and a wedding that I really enjoyed. When you are dealing with these kinds of couples it really is the best job in the world.

Luss Church Wedding - Solsgirth House Wedding - Julia and James

Luss Church - Solsgirth House Wedding

Yes, you are reading that correctly, Julia and James Luss Church wedding with the reception held at Solsgirth House. Anyone who knows both venues will realise that there is about an hour and a half drive between both locations. However, on this day, due to spectacular planning by the bride and groom it made very little difference to the day at all and was one of the smoothest running weddings ever.

Julia had elected to get ready in a beautiful farmhouse just outside Luss village. In this stunning apartment we got some cracking shots of the girls before making our way to Luss church. After a lovely ceremony we took Julia and James down to beach at Loch Lomond for some amazing sunlit pictures before making our way over to Solsgirth House by Dollar.







This was my first Solsgirth House wedding and what a lovely venue it is too. Lovely grounds and some really interesting nooks and crannies for the couple to get some really cool pictures taken in. Really when you add this to Luss I was spoiled for choice. The sepia shot in the bottom row there was a person fav, one of my shots of the year. Above everything else the day flew by simply because the couple themselves were great company. Julia and James had a host of photographers they could have chosen and I am exceptionally grateful they chose me. It was a fantastic day.

 

 

 

 

Luss Church Wedding, Loch Lomond - Amy and Alex

Luss Church Wedding, Loch Lomond

Shooting Amy and Alex's Luss Church Wedding was a day that will live long in my memory. I have never met a couple who look so good together, who are so totally in love with each other or who have been through so much together. When I first met the couple Alex had been quite poorly, by the time the wedding rolled around I barely recognised him. Full of life, energy and above all else - blooming handsome! And before you get the wrong idea though I have to say that Amy is simply gorgeous and one of the nicest brides we've ever worked with. With such stunning couple, how could i possibly go wrong. This wedding also featured everyones favourite minister Rev Ian Miller who conducted the ceremony which featured possibly the longest and most passionate 'first kiss' I think anyone has ever seen!!





When we opened the doors of Luss Church to exit after the ceremony we were greeted with hurracain style horizontal rain! So we waited it out in the church for 15 minutes before a lull allowed us outside for some shots by the shore. By the time we arrived at Cameron House, it was like a completely different day. The sun shone the wind died and we got Amy and Alex outside for some lovely loch shore images.



A tremondous couple and an exceptionally happy day.I know I am very lucky to have the job that I have and days like this just help me cement my love for wedding photography. More of our Cameron House Wedding Photography

 

Cameron House Wedding - Frazer and Claire

Cameron House Wedding

My first Cameron House wedding of 2014 almost spoiled me for the year. Few brides look as stunning as Claire did on her day. I also, within the first few frames of the day captured one of my favourite shots of 2014. The image below of Claire at the window just blows me away (I even voted for it myself in the annual poll)



Once I had shot the bridal preparation shots at Cameron House, it was onto Luss church. I know I have written many times on this blog about this great little church but it is set in simply one of the most beautiful spots in Scotland. It looks fantastic - even on a 'moody' day like Claire and Frazer's wedding.



 

The mist on Loch Lomond barely lifted all day but that didn't really matter. Once the wedding ceremony was over we made our way down onto the little beach at Luss then onto the pier. A few months before the wedding Frazer and Claire had their engagement pictures taken on the same spot. It was lovely to revisit the pictures taken that day on the wedding day, although Claire was considerably more wrapped up on the engagement shoot!



Once back at Cameron House the couple were looked after in the style you would always associate with this 5 star venue. It was also lovely to see some of our other clients at the wedding too. Natalie and Stuart (owners of Diva the prize winning dog) and Ian (Tosh) and the very lovely Sharon were in attendance too. These are exactly the kind of wedding I absolutely adore. Loch Lomond, Cameron House, Luss Church, great couple and lots of friends and family giving the couple all their love. A very very warm day, completely regardless of the weather.

Wedding at Cameron House - Anthony and Jenna

Wedding at Cameron House

Jenna and Anthony's Wedding at Cameron House was a first for me. Not the venues, I know both the hotel and Luss Church really well, but the party at night was something I'll never forget. It was a real mixture with a full on Greek celebration, Jenna's Dad picking up the guitar and singing brilliantly, live rapping and all the usual trappings of a Greek wedding. It was an amazing nights entertainment.



As we often do we started at Cameron House and caught some fantastic shots of Jenna getting ready. Then (a little behind schedule) it was onto the wonderful Luss Church. Possibly the prettiest churchs in Scotland with the shore of Loch Lomond just about 100 yards away.



Then we got back to Cameron House stopping for that iconic shot at the front door and then down to the Lomond suite which had been transformed with a sparkly dance floor and mood lighting.



It was after dinner and the speeches however that the party really got started. I have never witnessed a Greek celebration before and watch to Anthony bust some incredible high kicks on the dance floor was great. Then the couple had the tradition of dancing while the guests pin money to them. It was an awesome event and a great day to be a part of. If you ever get the chance to go to a Greek wedding - do it! Brilliant fun. See more from our Cameron House Wedding collection here
