Brig O'Doon Wedding - Bryan and Freya

Brig O'Doon Wedding

What another fabulous day we had at Bryan and Freya's Brig O'Doon Wedding. Again, as was a theme for a lot of 2013 most of the wedding was organised by the groom (or "Groomzilla" as Bryan was affectionately tagged by Freya). But to give the man his due, he did a fantastic job ! We started the day at the lovely Ayrs and Graces guest house right next to Brig O'Doon before making the short journey across the river. Freya looked absolutely stunning. A beautiful woman in a well chosen tasteful dress always makes my life so much easier. Add to that Bryan looked every inch the proud Scotsman in his kilt and I knew I would going to produce a cracking set of images.





We also had the pleasure of being present for the evening entertainment. Not only did that mean that the speeches and first dance were covered but this also allowed us a little bit of extra creativity with some night-time shots in the gardens. First with the bandstand resplendent in fairy lights then with a spectacular fireworks cascade courtesy of 21cc Fireworks.

I also have to say that the couple themselves were brilliant to work with. They were amazing in front of the lens and I am really grateful that they chose 1500 Photography.

I will leave the final words to Groomzilla himself, Bryan.

“From the moment of initial email contact, to the day we received our album in the post, Stuarts service and professionalism was second to none. Freya and I loved the way he interacted with our guests on the day. The photos we have are fantastic, you really did capture some amazing shots that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. A truly fantastic photographer and the only one I would recommend to future bride and grooms!”

Moorpark House Wedding - Janet and Frank

Moorpark House Wedding

Janet and Franks Moorpark House Wedding was a very very memorble day which the couple made sure ended with a bang! I cant begin to tell you how much I had been looking forward to shooting Janet and Franks wedding. Janet, you see, loves to talk. I dont think I have ever clocked up more hours on the phone with the bride before a wedding than I have with Janet. She is a wonderful lady and on her wedding day she looked an absolute knock out. With everything taking place at Moorpark House it meant that everybody was where they were meant to be, and the traffic issues which affected our last wedding blogged, didnt arise. It was a simple job then to nip up to the brides room and get all the preparation picures before the ceremony. A lovely humanist ceremony was the order of the day and possibly the only tiny hiccup on the day was the priceless expression on Franks face as he tried (and tried!) to get Janets ring onto her finger.

After our formal group shots we managed to steal the couple away for some wonderfully romantic shots in and around the Moorpark grounds. I am really warming to Moorpark and think that it is quickly going to become one of Scotlands top wedding venues. Soon after dinner it was time for the main event. A surprise fireworks display for the guests. There are not many things that still make you 'oh and ah' as an adult but I think a top class fireworks dispaly is one of them. Janet and Frank moved to prime position on the little bridge in front of the hotel, Janet pressed the big red button and we were then treated to a breathtaking dispaly which must have been visable from all over Ayrshire ! And then it was over....... I must admit that I miss those calls from Janet and hearing the excited tones in her voice as we plan out what we are going to be doing and talk about the different album options. However, I know now that Janet had the perfect wedding day, the album that she craved and most importantly now has the man of her dreams (oh and dont forget - absolutely stunning pictures like the one below !!!! )
