Lodge on Loch Lomond Wedding - Laura & James

Lodge on Loch Lomond Wedding

Just another brilliant couple for us to photograph.

Laura and James held their wedding at Lodge on Loch Lomond. As everything was taking place at the Lodge,  we got some great shots of James nervously waiting about before heading up to catch Laura getting her final preparations together. Then onto the humanist ceremony before heading out to the loch side for some pictures. Not only had Laura had the foresight and kindness to lay on a big box of flip flops for her lady guests to slip into, she had also organised a surprise boat trip to keep the guests amused during the pictures.

Despite the business of Luss pier and the beach we still some some fantastic shots. Such a laid back and easy going couple always makes my job a joy. Thanks guys x

Duck Bay Hotel Wedding - Neil and Jade

Duck Bay Hotel Wedding

Neil and Jade got married at the Duck Bay Hotel right on the banks of Loch Lomond.

I have to say that when we arrived at Jades house beforehand she was the calmest bride-to-be I have ever came across on the day of her wedding. It's not often a girl in full make-up, wedding dress and perfect hair asks if your sure you don't want a cup of tea !! Best friend and 'Man of honour'  Ross was also on hand to help soak up and nerves. Things were slightly more tense at the Duck Bay with the lads (but isn't that always the way?) However the legendary Mrs Thomson was on hand at Duck Bay to make sure everything was running as smooth as possible (usual)

Because Duck Bay is situated so near the water there can be the unfortunate side effect of the surround grounds retaining any rainfall for a while. This meant finding a different areas to shoot our groups and couples shots at.  The unlikely 'haunted house' just along the road from the hotel proved to be an idea backdrop for some of the shots with the overspill car park (shot 2 above) working really well for us as too. There is a maxim in photography - it's not what you look at, it's how you 'see' it. Obviously it also helps to have Loch Lomond right next to you...........

Winnock Hotel Wedding, Drymen - Lyndsay & Andrew

Winnock Hotel Wedding, Drymen - Lyndsay & Andrew

We had a lovely day with this Winnock Hotel wedding, starting off at St Marys in Kirkintiloch and finishing back at Drymen. Great couple, really nice attendants and two lovely families.

As per our standard service we started the day at Lyndsays mums house getting those final preparation pictures before we made our way for the wedding at St Marys in Kirkintilloch. After a lovely ceremony there we headed to Balmaha for the couples shots before heading back to the Winnock Hotel for the reception. I love shooting down at this spot in Balmaha.  There is a special quality in pictures when you take shots near the water.



I know I often spend a lot of my time on here gushing about how great my couples are but I reckon I must be one of the luckiest photographers in Britain. Lyndsay and Andrew were just so nice and the bridesmaids (esp Jo) were so helpful. The last shot in the series above has to be the last one though, the shot immediately afterwards has Lyndsays garter wrapped around her foot! The garter then spent the rest of the day in Andrews sporran. Unfortunately the hankie/garter mix up we were all hoping for never materialised.

Wedding at House for an Art Lover - Carrie Anne & Alan

Wedding at House for an Art Lover - Carrie Anne & Alan

The first thing that springs to mind when I think about Carrie Anne and Alans wedding at House for an Art Lover is Wow - what a dress!!

But it shouldn't be. There was so much more to enjoy from the day.

We started off at Mar Hall where Carrie Anne was putting her finishing touches together. It is as well we did,  as Carrie Annes Mum ripped her dress zip. Fortunately Gillian swung into action and helped mend the dress with the aid of the 1500 Photography sewing kit (who said that textiles degree was going to waste?!)

I havent been to HFAL for a few years so it was fantastic to see James still looking after the brides there and to see that the standards of the venue have been kept so high.  Sadly we were restricted to indoor photography only as the weather took a nasty turn during the ceremony but since the building is lovely inside we weren't short of options for pictures. However that didnt stop us from getting cracking shot after cracking shot with a brilliant couple in a great location.

Weddings at Cameron House – Emma & John

Back to my favourite venues -Luss Church to Cameron House.

Rather than me rattle on about what a nice wedding this was why dont I leave it to the couple themselves?

Hey Stuart,

It’s been a while since we spoke, so just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for the fantastic photos taken at our wedding. Massively impressed with the quality of them and some of them in particular (the window reflection/some on the pier/speeches/inside cam house) are exceptional. We’ll be recommending you to all our friends and family as the experience was made a whole lot better having you and Gillian there as part of the day. Just fantastic. Cheers for a great day and hopefully we’ll see you and Gillian again on our trips to Loch Lomond and the West coast.

John

(p.s. I noticed you edited Gillian’s arm out of the Luss pier shot holding Emma’s veil – clever stuff! Haha)

We absolutely love them and have spent all weekend showing our friends and family who also think they are fab! We can’t get enough of the photos and the DVD was a nice surprise, we’ve watched it several times and the music selected really matches our taste. We’d like to thank you very much for your hard work as the photos have far exceeded our expectations, they are truly wonderful and once we finalise our album know that it will be something we treasure for the rest of our lives.

Thank You, Emma

A great day. Even complete with a squad of (very polite) Japanese tourists who all got their own pictures of Emma and John on Luss Pier. Brilliant!!!

Millennium Hotel Glasgow Wedding - Gillian & Paul

Millennium Hotel Glasgow Wedding

Another really nice couple for 1500 to photography.

Gillian and Paul had their wedding at the Millennium Hotel right in the very heart of Glasgow. Since the hotel is slap bang in the middle of the city Gillian and Paul thought it would be nice to head out to Kelvingrove Park for the pictures.

On out return to the hotel we used some  of the more striking features of the Millennium to give us some really great shots. Gillian and Paul were fantastic on the day, so friendly and willing and it shows in the pictures.

The last shot in the selection here is one of my favourites of the year!
