a little Thursday treat!

Lately, I have found myself dancing madly to Ukelele music in the sunshine in Germany’s countryside.

You must check out those guys Gus & Fin over on YouTube, and if I were you, I get them to play at my wedding

Happy Thursday everyone!

Joanne & Nick – a black & white theme wedding

When I met Joanne for the first time, I instantly loved her. She has such a lovely, bubbly personality and told me excitedly about her wedding plans over a couple of glasses of wine. I was really chuffed when she then booked me for her special day. The wedding was set in one of my favourite venues in Glasgow, Hotel Du Vin, One Devonshire gardens on Halloween night and Joanne and Nick opted for a black and white theme. We had so much fun all day which you’ll see in the photos.

Rain, Sunshine, High Heels and Wellies – the Scottish outdoor wedding experience

I was looking through the wonderful offbeat bride website today. It’s a blog by a Seattle based author of a book called Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides. This blog is the ongoing celebration of couples who dare to walk off the beaten aisle. Great inspirations can be found for all of you who embrace the non-traditional bride within. And I salute every single one of you. When my clients find me they sing ‘halleluja” , ‘ a photographer who won’t drag us away from our guests for two hours and believes that there is no need to pose anything on our wedding day’.

So on this note, let me share with you a wonderful non traditional wedding set at Mavis Hall Park, a small family owned business tucked away at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills….

Come rain or shine, Althea and Dav were well prepared with plan A, B and C in place but thankfully after a downpour in the morning, the sun came out and the plan A outdoor wedding could commence…

Weddings on Loch Lomond, literally…

Oh, it’s grey out today and rainy and perfect for cups of tea galore and looking through my wedding archive to share with you a little something that should bring a smile to your face… Rain did not faze Julie and John on their wedding day, in fact the umbrellas set a colourful scene and the two were all smiles. I was really chuffed when they chose me to be their photographer for the day as they were saying “I do” on a little cruise ship on Loch Lomond. It was quite a rainy day but the sun broke through now and then and just in time for the group shots on the shore of Luss Pier. We just had to get rid of a very pesky swan who was keen to be photographed. Here are some of my favourites…
