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, 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.

Cameron House Wedding - Linda and Garry

Cameron House Wedding

This is just such a beautiful Cameron House wedding. Linda and Garry had come down to Loch Lomond from Aberdeen to be married.

Every year at Cameron House, around this time of year, the large chestnut tree on the front lawn turns this fiery red and orange. It is quite spectacular but, more importantly, short-lived. These colours only last a very short time and the autumn winds usually make the tree bald within days. Linda and Garrys wedding was the first time in 6 years that I've managed to catch this shot. I have had in mind since I started 1500 Photography but never had a wedding there at the right time.

 



With my favourite humanist to conduct the ceremony, Linda Britton, one of my favourite venues, the intimate nature of the wedding and the beautiful autumnal colours - it was a day which I completely loved. Sometimes its better just to let the pictures do the talking

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

Cameron House Wedding Photography - Lissa and Guy

Cameron House Wedding Photography

More Cameron House Wedding Photography for you to enjoy. This time with Lissa and Guy. One of my absolute favourite weddings from last year with an awesome couple. We started off this time (for a little change) with the boys. We met up with Guy and the groomsmen in the Great Scot Bar in Cameron House before checking in on Lissa and catching her finishing touches. After a very emotional ceremony, with beautiful readings given by both mothers, it was onto the formal pictures. You can see from the selection below just how much fun everything about this wedding was. Lissa, Guy, the bridal party and all the guests were just so much fun to work with.





Lissa looked absolutely sensation. Perfect dress, hair and make up. And although an Englishman I think Guy carried the kilt off with aplomb, infact better than many Scots would!  One wee thing about this wedding. As I am sure you already know I often shoot at Cameron House. However with Lissa and Guy we pushed ourselves to create more different and varied shots. Every time we visit this location we are looking for another angle or shot. Lissa was inspirational and provided us with the stunning door shot above and this shot below is one I had been wanting to do for ages. I am delighted that it popped up in the Scottish Wedding Directory shortly afterwards. I cannot praise this couple highly enough - I love them !

Cameron House Wedding - Stephanie and Alvin

Cameron House Wedding - Stephanie and Alvin

In early December last year we were back at Loch Lomond for a Cameron House Wedding, Stephanie and Alvin had come all the way down from Dornach to get married on the bonnie banks. It was a beautifully bright, crisp day with a very still loch, which was a nice contrast to Stephanie's room  beforehand which was the busiest and most bustling room of the year by far! Stephanie had chosen a really striking colour scheme for the day of black, white and red which given the time of year was very apt. It was one of the best looking wedding parties we had shot all year.



I know with every post I seem to go on about what a nice couple the bride and groom where but I promise you, its always true. Stephanie and Al are superb company and the kind of people that, after spending 5 minutes in their company, feel like old friends. In fact the whole wedding party were absolutely lovely to work with, which is handy as I am booked to shoot Stephanie's step sisters wedding in July, so I'll be seeing a lot of them again!



Stephanie was willing to brave the elements outside and we got some beautiful wintery pictures on the jetty and in Cameron Houses grounds. The snow dusted Ben Lomond was the perfect shot to (almost) round off 2012. Little did I realise at the time but that snow cap would still be there in April !!
