Karen and Jon - Burnhouse

Karen looked stuning in her classical style wedding dress made of soft flowing satin that complimented her own character and grace, leaving everyone with no doubt that she was the Princess of her day. Jon too, was very smart in his full highland dress and plaid.

Both Karen and Jon really seemed to enjoy their day at Burnhouse immensely and made the most of the time that we had for photographs. The weather, although threatened rain most of the day, was kind to us, allowing us to take most of our photographs outside. Jon and Karen, we hope we contributed to making your small intimate wedding day a truly memorable occassion. 

Enjoy these 2 taster images from your day.

Sally and Richard, Glenapp Castle, July 2011

Glenapp Castle has been awarded the most romantic hotel of the year by the Scottish Hotel Awards 2011, and many other prestigous awards including Hotel of the Year. So imagine how delighted I was to photograph a wedding there for Sally and Richard on Wednesday. They had travelled all the way from Australia for a fairytale wedding, and I have to say it was spectacular. The shone shone on the best day of the year so far and the castle was just so romantic, and set in acres and acres of the most immaculate grounds. Even in bright sunlight photographing such a lovely couple in such splendid surroundings was just a pleasure. John Orr, the castle manager, and all his staff, looked after us very well and we captured some beautiful images for Sally and Richard. If you want a perfect castle setting for a truly memorable wedding, Glenapp Castle is undoubtedly a place you should seriously consider.

So busy, and so sorry for no updates




Well, since Kimberley's wedding I have been so busy that I have completely neglected my blog. Weddings are my main business, and I so love making brides happy, but there are other aspects to my photography and video business too. In the last month or so I have filmed John and Julies wedding, shot a musical production for the Johnstone Phoenix Theatre Group which was fabulous, I have video recorded an industrial incident, undertaken personal development training with other fellow photographers, did a fabulous cherish the dress session (thank you Emma, Laura and Bailey the golden retriever!), undertaken some great portrait sessions and I have had a fabulous break in the Outer Hebrides where I spent most of my time ... well ... taking photographs!

The landscapes were gorgeous and were the main subject of my photography but I took one or two of my dog Cassie as well!





When I got back from the islands I had yet more training with Trevor and Faye Yerbury, fantastic photographers with a real sense of vision and style. We spent a beautiful day on Sunday out in the country photographing our model, Lotto.

I am now getting ready for another busy spell, with some exciting venues and wedding couples in the next few weeks. Please enjoy this selection of... just for a change ... not wedding images.

Kimberley & Anthony

Kimberley and Anthony had a wonderful wedding day last month. The rain this summer has been persistant  & Friday the 13th, Kimberley and Anthonys wedding day, was no different. The rain was bucketing down on the roof of the church while I was filming, but it was a lucky day for them, because when Kimberley arrived & again when the couple left the church, the rain subsided & at one time a lovely ray of sunshine fell on the couple as they stepped outside.

Kimberley and Anthony were married in Paisley but had their reception at Oran Mor. Oran Mor is a great place for a full wedding or a reception and I just love working there.

I hope you enjoy this short highlight of Kimberley and Anthony's wedding day.

Carol and Iain: Burnhouse 27 May 2011

Carol and Iain had a fabulous day at Burnhouse, where they held their wedding and their reception.

Carol looked absolutely stunning. Her dress was floaty and fabulous and fun, just like Iain and Carol, who made a blustery spring day a pleasure to work in.  Carol looked like every princess should and Iain looked equally proud and smart in his full highland dress. They made a great couple.

As always, Burnhouse is a great venue with everything going as planned and like clockwork, so thanks to Louize and all the staff who work there.

A wonderful day, with some fantastic images, I hope you enjoye these 2 images while you wait for your collection to unfold.

Have a great honeymoon!

Caroline and Mark - The Lynnhurst Hotel

Caroline and Mark had a wonderful day at the Lynnhurst Hotel where the weather stayed dry for them to get some fabulous photographs outside with their bridal party and their guests. I was very pleased to be back photographing at the Lynnhurst so soon again, as it is a wonderful venue with so many location choices for photography.
Caroline and Mark had a lot of fun as can be seen by this great chanpagne shot. I know that I often show a champagne shot on my blog, but it is a fantastic fun shot to get and gets everybody laughing. It was great to see how Mark  popped the cork on his bottle of champagne to celebrate his and Carolines big day with impressive style, as his guests cheered him on.

Caroline and Mark, I hope the end of your day was as good as the beginning and I hope that you enjoy these 2 taster shots of your wedding day.

Kristina & Paul 30/04/11

The sun shone for Kristina & Paul on Saturday and their wedding day turned out to be just fabulous.

Paul arranged a special surprise for Kristina; a horse and carriage to take them from ViewPark Gardens to the Bothwell Bridge Hotel, where their guests and staff of the Hotel were waiting to greet them. I thought I would upload a very small clip of just a few of these special moments from their day for you to enjoy.

Kristina and Paul, I hope that you have a fantastic honeymoon and while you are waiting for your full DVD, please enjoy this 2 minute clip on to Nat King Coles "LOVE"
