Laura and Alan at the Watermill

Laura and Alan chose to get married on a gorgeous bright summers day at the Watermill Hotel and were blessed with a beautiful blue sky which really helped set off the red brick of the mill in the background. The Clarks Anchor Mills in Paisley is justifiably an iconic building. A thread mill dating from the early 19th century it lay derelict and unused for many years. Thankfully it in now renovated and converted like may of the surrounding mill buildings in the area. These fantastic historic buildings now provide spaces for people to live and work in, and provide stunning architectural backdrops for photographers.

Laura and Alan were a lovely couple who really enjoyed their day and they were happy to take advantage of the lovely sunshine and spend time outside for their photographs. It was a pleasure to be a part of it and as always, the Watermill Hotel were excellent hosts with Sue moving things on swiftly and efficiently when we were done. 

Alan an Laura I hope you enjoy these 2 taster images, while you wait for the rest.

Emma and Peter – St James’, Renfrew, and the Moorpark House

There are some people who, despite everything, can’t stop smiling. One of those people is Emma, and despite a broken big toe she wore those shoes and had a fantastic wedding day!! 

It was a return to some more old favourites for me, going back to St James in Renfrew and then on to the Moorpark. The Moorpark is a great wedding venue, the management have made such an effort to make the venue photogenic, and are understanding of the needs of wedding photography. Signs prompting people to park in the rear car park ensures a great venue backdrop to your wedding photographs; thank you Moorpark House!!

Emma and Peter had a fantastic day, the weather was with them and they have some beautiful photographs. Photographs were an important part of their day; they were prepared to set time aside for a photoshoot and to participate, and the results show that. A truly lovely couple, it was such a pleasure to work with you, and I hope the toe gets better while you are off in Dubai and the Maldives. Enjoy these taster images while you wait for the rest.

Kerrie and Craig, 22 April 2012

This has been my busiest April ever. And what beautiful weddings I have had. Dalmeny Park House Hotel, where Kerrie and Craig were married, still remains one of my favourite venues. The blossoms are only just coming out on the trees now, but the grounds are stunning already, and there is a great deal of variety. Dalmeny Park also has some very good wet weather alternatives, always worth thinking about when choosing a wedding venue in Scotland.

Although Kerrie's brothers were not part of the official bridal party, they were also dressed in the kilt of the day and so when Kerrie and Craig asked for this family photograph to be taken, walking across the lawn, I thought it was a great idea! Definitely one for a frame in the family home. 

Kerrie and Craigs' wee boy was also a very special part of their day and was included in most of the group photographs but even managed to work his way into our hearts by taking part in some private Bride and Groom photographs too.

I don't normally present as many as 4 photos on a blog entry, but I couldn't leave out this beautiful portrait of Kerrie, who looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown and this one of Craig, who looked the part in full highland rig.

Kerrie and Craig, I hope that you enjoy these taster images.
