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.

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
