Wedding at The Cruin, Loch Lomond - Victoria & Gordon

Wedding at The Cruin Loch Lomond

Still a Loch Lomond wedding but this time a wedding at The Cruin Loch Lomond with Victoria and Gordon. I am really lucky in my job that there are so many nice couples with whom I actually enjoy their company and Victoria and Gordon fall into that category. Starting off at the lovely Auchenheglish lodges we then made our way again to Luss Church before making our way to The Cruin. Despite visiting the same church twice in the space of 2 days we ended up with a completely different set of shots than that of Kirsty and Thomas!





Then it was onto The Cruin and one of the funniest moments of 2012 as we risked life and limb on the somewhat choppy waters of Loch Lomond to get onto the small pier at the Cruin, for those iconic shots of the couple on Loch Lomond. Honestly, the bridesmaids face setting foot onto the pier ........ Anyway. I am delighted to report that on delivery of Victoria and Gordons wedding album they gave me news of another delivery on the way soon. Our heartiest congratulations to them both, we are genuinely delighted for them!!

Boturich Castle Wedding - Rebecca & Craig

Boturich Castle Wedding, Loch Lomond

Our Boturich Castel Wedding with Rebecca and Craig probably took place on one of the wettest days of the summer. The couple and many of their guests had come  all the way over from Canada for a summery Scottish wedding but unfotuately the (typical) Scottish weather let them down big style.

It was such a shame as they are such a lovely couple but at least I know that I didnt let them down and gave them a great set of picture pictures, Lynda the celebrant didnt let them down with a lovely service and Boturich Castle certainly didnt let them down with providing everything they could have wanted.

   

I am really happy to say though that the weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of the couple or their guests. It was a lovely humanist ceremony by Lynda finishing with a traditional hand-fasting before the couple  braved the elements for some shots outside. I have to doff my cap to Rebecca who was great to photograph and who had not problems at all getting an umbrella and heading outdoors for her pictures

 

I guess the couple may have been expecting inclement weather as they had specially made umbrellas made with Scottish and Canadian flags to give to each of their guests as favours. We than stayed to cover the brilliant wedding speeches and some of the dancing at night, with music supplied by the Jiggers, who were excellent. Our final shot of the day was Craig and Rebecca outside with sparklers. I have to say that although this was a tricky shot to get right the results are....... sparkling?

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.
