Joanne and Kevin, St Mirins Cathedral

St Mirins Cathedral has been undergoing a renovation and so it was lovely to be back recently to photograph Joanne and Kevin's wedding. After renovation, the Cathedral is bright and refreshing inside, with everything newly polished and fresh coats of paint on the ceiling, so easy to photograph in. 


Joanne looked stunning with her full length veil, finished with a gorgeous embroidered edge for that  flattering classical look. The 3 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls were lovely finishing touches to a very handsome bridal party.  Kevin and Joanne certainly looked very happy together, clearly in love and so comfortable in each others company, it was a pleasure to take their photographs.

From St Mirins, we went back to another old favourite, the Watermill Hotel in Paisley for more photos and to hand the couple over to Marion who was, as usual, warm and helpful.

Joanne and Kevin, I hope you enjoy these images, while you wait for the rest.

Linda & Peter - Pollok House


The flowers were in full bloom and the mood was romantic, the harpist was playing their tune, and the sweet smell of love was in the air! Linda and Peter were getting married.


Linda looked like a princess in her wedding gown as she stepped out of her carriage; the beautiful vintage Rolls Royce from Waterside Weddings. She made her way up the stairs and floated gracefully through the corridors of the Grand House toward Peter, her Knight in Shining Armour who was waiting with his guests in the library. 


A fairytale come true indeed! Linda had put a massive amount of effort into her day and it had paid off. 


While their guests enjoyed a tour of the house and relaxed over champagne and canapes, Peter and Linda made the most of their photoshoot and when we lost the couple for a few moments we heard Peter calling; "Linda, Linda where for art thou Linda?" and Linda's reply "Why at the top of the Juliet steps, waiting for you Peter!". Such a lucky Romeo!

Peter and Linda, it was a pleasure to work with you! I hope that you like these few taster images while you wait for the rest.

Nicola & Peter - Park Circus & The Bowfield Hotel

Nicola and Peter shared a very intimate wedding ceremony with their family in the beautiful Park Circus Wedding Rooms on a lovely warm and dry day. 

Being the only wedding taking place at Park Circus that day, we were able to relax and take our time both with the ceremony and also with photographs afterwards.This building is so beautiful inside that I always think its a shame to have to rush through! Peter and Nikki took time out on the balcony for some photos and then later in the conservatory where we got this gorgeous family group photo. 

We took advantage of the lovely warm day and took a relaxed walk through the park for more photos before driving on to the Bowfield Hotel where Nicola and Peter finished off their celebrations.

Peter and Nikki, we were privileged to share some of your special day with you. I hope that you enjoy these few taster images while you wait for the rest.

Kirsty & Craig, Rutherglen Town Hall

Kirsty and Craig were married in the Rutherglen Town Hall on a very wet and windy day. This beautiful building  in the busy High street of Rutherglen, was originally constructed in 1862 and after refurbishment pre 2005, it now offers a blend of the old and new by combining the Grand Hall and the Mezzanine Conservatory Bar to create the perfect wedding venue, once you step inside the building, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing and you forget about the bustle outside. The town hall is very sympathetically built and features the beautiful stonework of the 19th centruty building inside the warm and light conservatory, which features a calm sea grean colour to the floor, stairs and bar area. A lovely environment to photograph in. 

The Grand Hall is  very grand indeed, with huge stained glass windows to the back and side of the hall, and a stage at the other end allows the hall to be used well into the evenings dancing and festivities.

Kirsty arrived late, but smiling from ear to ear - nothing was going to spoil her special day! She looked beautiful and her smile just got bigger as she walked down the aisle to her man. Kirsty and Craig, you were wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed being part of your day. 

Once again, a big Thank You to the best man Gary, without whom we could not have caught up on the days schedule. Craig went out of his way to help to get people together for the group photographs, a great support to us and Craig and his new wife.

Kirsty and Craig, I hope that you had a great evening and enjoy these 2 taster images while you wait for the rest.

Laura & Robert - The Glynhill Hotel

Laura and Robert celebrated their wedding day with family and friends at the Glynhill Hotel and although the weather turned wet and rainy, they did not let this spoil their special day.
Abbey, Laura's daughter, looked beautiful in her bridesmaids dress and wee Robbie looked ever so smart too. I particularly liked this photo of Abbey and Laura together on the day and also this serious photojournalistic moment during the ceremony where wee Robbie took his mental note of the proceedings too. 
  
A wedding day is not only a celebration of 2 people coming together, but it is also an opportunity to create those wonderful memories of friends, family and all those who are dear to us, and for Laura it was just that. As well as photos of her, Robert and her 2 children, she was also looking for photos with her friends and family. So a special thanks to those family members who were so helpful in getting the right people together when we needed them, enabling us to get through the shot list in time for Harry and his team at the Glynhill to serve a scrumptous meal. 

Congratulations Laura and Robert, you looked wonderful together, I hope that you enjoy these taster images while you wait for the rest of them.

Margo & Anthony - Kincaid House Hotel


Margo and Anthony celebrated their wedding at the Kincaid House Hotel on the 18th of August 2012.  Margo looked stunning in her wedding gown that fell gently onto the floor in small soft train. Anthony was so proud to have her by his side and they looked just wonderful together. 

Margo's two bridesmaids, her daughter and her niece, looked beautiful too, in their black dresses softened with cream sashes.

Their celebration was blessed with a warm and sunny day and so the guests relaxed outside in the gardens of the Kincaid House Hotel while we went about our business of taking photographs. Amy, the Event Manager was, as usual, very helpful and well organised, such a pleasure to deal with. 
We are spoilt for choice for photograph locations at this versatile venue and so it is always difficult to know which images to publish, but I hope you like the 3 images I have chosen here as a taster of their day. 

Margo and Anthony, I hope that you enjoy these few images while you wait for the rest.
