The Wedding of Hillary and Des

2010-04-20T23:16:00.002+01:00

I was able to spend a very cold day with the fantastic Hillary and Des at the beautiful St Monans Parish Church and reception in Largoward recently and loved every minute of it. Des also happens to be South African so it was an absolute pleasure to hear all the familiar accents in St Monans, Fife of all places! Hillary you looked absolutely gorgeous and completely took our breath away, especially Des. Your choice of church was so perfect that it could almost have been right out of a novel, I just wish that we had more light to create even more special images.

You both looked so happy and in love on your big day. Thanks for inviting me to share your special day with you and we wish you a wonderful life together.

The Wedding of Faye and Brian - Norton House Hotel

2009-12-14T21:39:00.004Z

We first met Faye and Brian last year while covering Dougie and Catherine's wedding in Edinburgh. Right away we knew that Brian was a fantastic character as a part of Dougies wedding party. W were delighted when Brian and Faye asked us to cover their Wedding at Norton House Hotel and The Kirk of Calder.

It was a fantastic day with not a drop of rain to be seen. Faye looked beautiful and the look on Brian's face when she walked down the aisle said it all. Brian and the boys also looked so dapper in their outfits.

Brian and Faye you were such a amazing couple to work with and are such an awesome pair. Thanks for being so eager to help us catch some wonderful images of you both.

The Wedding of Helen and David - Broomhall Castle

2009-07-12T14:07:00.003+01:00

Helen and Dave, thanks for inviting me to share your wedding day with you. You are a fantastic couple and it was a great spending time with you both. Your church service was one of the best yet and it was great seeing Pastor Scott again. I actually enjoyed the band so much that I almost forgot to take the photographs:) Just kidding!

Helen you looked stunning and you almost took Dave's breath away. Dave you and the boys also looked exceptionally dapper in your tails.

Broomhall also did a great job on the day and was an excellent venue for the celebration.

Have a fab honeymoon folks and we'll see you both soon.

Best wishes

I had a great day with Steph and Dean at the stunning Craighouse Campus in Edinburgh yesterday. What a fantastic venue!! Steph and Dean thanks for your great sense of fun yesterday and for braving the rainy patches for some great photography. Steph you looked stunning and I am sure that Dean agreed with me based on the look on his face when he saw you walk down the aisle. Dean you and the boys also looked very dapper by the way. It was a great day so thanks for inviting me to share it with you both.

Sally and Marek's Day

2009-02-14T15:39:00.003Z

I had a great time spending the day with Sally and Marek in Stirling a few weeks back. What started out as a rainy January day turned into something rather special with some dramatic skies and no rain. Sally you looked stunning and you were a fab model, which made my job even easier. Marek you and the lads were great fun and I can see a career in modelling for you too. Stirling Bridge and the historical Wallace monument served as excellent backgrounds for some of the photos. The evening was spent in Dunblane and a good time was had by all.

It was an awesome day guys and it was a pleasure spending it with you.

See you soon.

Stefan

Compliments of the Season!

A first with Linda and Rich

2008-10-05T16:06:00.003+01:00

I had the honour of capturing the wedding of the stunning Richard and Linda at the most awesome, breathtaking, spectacular and amazing Drummond castle yesterday. It was especially special as it was the first wedding to EVER be held at Drummond Castle in Crieff, Scotland. How cool is that!!! It is the summer home of the Queens cousin and is quite something. Must have the most amazing gardens I have ever seen. I almost expected the Queen herself to pop her head out one of the windows to say hello!

Here is a taster of the day. The rest to follow....

A Day with Amy and Will

As we approach the end of the busy Summer season we would like to thank all our friends for the wonderful times we have been able to share with you, thanks for choosing us to capture your memories.

Emma and Nick - The day before!!

2008-09-08T22:11:00.010+01:00

I had a great time getting to know Emma and Nick a little better on the beach the day before their wedding in Aberdour. Thanks for the enthusiasm guys. it was great fun!! Look how relaxed you both look...real professionals!

The Wedding of Emma and Nick

2008-09-08T22:04:00.010+01:00

It was off to Aberdour castle again today which is one of our favourite venues to share the day before for the engagement session on the beach, so it was time to put all the practice in action.

Charmaine was off to capture the mornings excitement and captured some great shots of the girls and I was in Aberdour with a very regal looking bunch of officers and I must way that the uniforms look great in the shots.

Emma and her bridesmaids arrived looking gorgeous and ready to get down to business. The service was lovely in the castle as always and there was even a stunning vocal sung by one of Emma's friends from Australia.

The weather held back and we spent some time in the gardens of the castle after the service capturing some stunning images. I must say a special thanks to the RSM who helped gather folk for the pics, the job offer is still on the table RSM!!

There was lots of time at the castle after the service for the guests to relax and enjoy a glass or two of champagne and the sunshine so everyone was chilled out!

The evening was held in a beautifully decorated marques at Nicks parents home in Burntisland where the couple and guests had a fabulous celebration of Emma and Nick's wedding. The speeches were awesome and we especially loved Nick's drawings done a long time ago. Emma your Mum and Dads speeches were especially moving.

It was such a great collection of people from the UK and Australia and I especially enjoyed the rugby jibes.

It was truly a stylish and lovely affair and we were delighted to be able to share the day with you guys. You are so in love and we wish you both a wonderful life together.

See you soon.

The Wedding of Amie and Mark

2008-09-08T22:01:00.010+01:00

Following a great day with Jo and Colin we arrived back home, cleaned the kit and prepared to share a special day with Mark and Amie. We first met Mark and Amy over a year ago and have already had the opportunity of doing a studio session with the kiddies Liam and Sophie. Today was your chance to be in front of the camera folks.

Charmaine started the day at Amie's home catching all the morning excitement and I was of to Marks to get the boys in action. Mark was rather nervous but so willing to do some serious posing for the shots. Thanks Mark, you are always the gentleman.

Charmaine was able to capture some great moments in the morning and there are some great shots of little Liam in his suit. Little Sophie looked so pretty in her finery and boy did she like looking like a princess!!

The ceremony was held in St Thomas's church in Costorphine and was an awesome union of two of the most wonderful people we have met in a long time. It was then off to the Kaim Park for the evenings festivities and photography. It was great seeing the kids getting down to the boogie once the music started.

It was a great day overall and we were honoured to share the day with you Amie and Mark. You are a fantastic couple and we wish you a wonderful life together full of happiness and joy.

Thanks for inviting our little girl Summer to the wedding, she loved watching all the dancing and loves the toys that you bought for her.

See you soon.

Stefan and Charmaine

The Wedding of Jo and Colin

2008-08-15T23:14:00.008+01:00

Morning broke and after we packed the cars with our gear, we rushed out the house to spend the day with Jo and Colin. Charmaine went to catch all the morning prep with Jo and her crew and I had the pleasure of catching the boys and even got to use a stunning red Triumph convertable as a prop. The boys looked very dapper in their finest.

It was then off to the beautiful historic Torphican Kirk for the ceremony which provided the perfect backdrop to the service. Jo arrived looking absolutely stunning and we could see that Colin lost a breath or two when he saw his beautiful bride. Jo and Colin looked so excited and in love and the service was one of the best we have been to - Cliff the minister has a great sense of humour. Eli and Alice, Jo's daughters looked gorgeous and delivered the most amazing readings that brought a tear to most.

After we had the chance to spend some time outside the Kirk taking photographs we were of to Grange Manor Hotel where the reception was being held. It proved to be the perfect venue and the guys at the Grange Manor did a stirling job making sure that everything ran smoothly and that Jo and Colin had the perfect day. The room itself was decorated beautifully and the table decorations really added to the the theme of the day.

I must mention the speeches that involved an hysterical slideshow by Colin's brother with some great shots of you Colin and a touching speech by Jo's brother James.

My highlight was Jo's determined efforts to get us a piece of the fabulous wedding cake after we had mentioned that we never seem to get any cake...Jo it was awesome and thank you for taking the "Get some cake for Stefan mission" so seriously.

It was a cracking day and we were delighted to be able to share it with Jo and Colin. We wish you guys a fantastic life together as a new family.

Thanks also to Chris Crawford for assisting us on the day.

See you soon.

Stefan and Charmaine

The Wedding of Gwen and Craig

2008-08-13T00:14:00.002+01:00

The weather forecast was for heavy thunder showers all day and we were keeping our fingers crossed that it would clear up so that we could celebrate Gwen and Craig’s wedding at the Dalmahoy in style.
We were lucky as the weather held beautifully and we were able to capture some truly magnificent pictures of a truly regal couple.

In the morning we arrived at the Dalmahoy to capture some shots of the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready and everything was going according to schedule. Gwen was looking very elegant with her hair pulled up and her make-up being done professionally. Eleonor, her sister and Lynne, a close friend were on hand to help the bride make the finishing touches.

From there we travelled across Edinburgh to the Methodist Church in Nicolson Square and enjoyed a beautiful service with the bridal party and their guests. Gwen’s brother in law sang a beautiful solo with Eleanor accompanying him on the violin. It was a very romantic and touching service.

Once the bridal couple had a chance to greet all the guests outside the church we made our way up to Arthur’s seat to capture some shots with this Scottish landmark in the background. The sky had opened up beautifully and was blue with the sun shining through. We then went back to the Dalmahoy to share the rest of the day with Gwen and Craig.

The couple were greeted by a hundred guests and after taking a number of formal shots we were able to spend some time with Gwen and her husband Craig getting those very important portrait pictures. The backdrop was stunning with the beautiful hotel in the background and the greens of the golf course. We were able to capture some fantastic shots of a couple who were more than willing to please.

We also admired all the beautiful decorations in the Dalmahoy Suite where the reception was being held. In particular, the stunning wedding cake with its delicate flowers which was especially made for Gwen, by her mom, Brenda.

Craig and Gwen, you were fantastic to work with and we loved spending the day with you. Thank you also for the fabulous meal you offered us, it was delicious and certainly gave us the extra strength to finish up the pictures for the rest of the evening. We hope you have a great honeymoon in Brazil and we’ll catch up when you get back.

The Wedding of Catherine and Dougie

2008-08-11T22:43:00.006+01:00

Think of a castle, a prince and princess and you will sum up the wedding of Catherine and Dougie perfectly.

The 26th July dawned bright and beautiful and we knew we were going to have a sweltering day as we made our way across town to Oxenfoord Castle to celebrate their wedding.

On arrival we could hear the chatter and laughter of the bridesmaids who were having a ball getting ready and catching up. Catherine arrived and after putting the final touches to her make-up and hair, she slipped on what can only be described as the perfect wedding gown for her. She looked magical…..

Dougie was waiting patiently at the chapel and very soon Catherine make her entrance walking up through the beautiful gardens to walk down the aisle. All the bridesmaids in their finery were on hand to assist Catherine as she made her way up. The ceremony itself was beautiful and emotional and both Catherine and Dougie looked the picture of happiness when they finally exchanged rings and sealed it with a kiss.

From there it was signing of the register and a slow march back down to the castle to enjoy a champagne reception, dinner and finally the festivities for the evening.We had a superb time photographing the couple not only because they looked like to gorgeous models from Vogue but because of their patience, elegance and enduring charm. They were eager to do all the posing we wanted and managed to paint smiles on their faces throughout. How they put up with us, we’ll never know!!
Catherine and Dougie, we had a great time sharing your wedding day with you and hope you are having a ball during your five week honeymoon across the globe. We look forward to catching up with you when you get back to go through the pictures which we believe are truly fantastic. We wish you much happiness and joy in your marriage going forward.

The Wedding of Kim and Darren

2008-07-06T16:47:00.005+01:00

The 28th June was a beautiful day with barely a cloud in the sky and we were lucky enough to be making our way up to Aberfoyle for Kim and Darren’s wedding at Forest Hills. For those of you that haven’t been there before, it’s the most beautiful setting for a wedding and we were delighted to be able to take photographs there and spend such a glorious day with married couple to be.

Darren arrived nice and early for the 2pm ceremony looking very dapper in his Welsh kilt and not too long thereafter Kim arrived in an old fashioned Bentley. The bridesmaids and flower girl arrived a few minutes before looking elegant in purple and cream. Kim stepped out the car and we all gasped as we saw how beautiful she looked – she reminded us of Elizabeth Shue, the actress who starred with Tom Cruise in Cocktail many moons ago (I know, we are showing our age!!!), totally stunning.

The dress was a lovely creation in gold with pearl beading and it suited Kim really well. Although extremely nervous leading up to the walk down the aisle, Kim managed to hold it together for the rest of the ceremony and thoroughly enjoying the welcome glass of champagne afterwards.

The pictures were easy to do as both Darren and Kim were more than happy to “trepse” alone the stony paths and wet grass to the best locations. We captured them from across the pond, at the waterfall and at the little bridge and the pictures did not disappoint.

Everyone present were great sports and a big thank you to Greg for doing all the “shouting” when we needed to get the relevant bridal groups together. Greg, you were a great help!

From the photographs to the reception, good fun was had by all at what can only be considered a very stylish elegant affair. We loved the day, guys and hope you had a superb honeymoon. I’m sure we’ll hear all about it when you get back and all the best to you both.

The Wedding of Kerry and Andy

2008-07-03T22:29:00.004+01:00

All I can say about Kerry and Andy's wedding is ..Wow!! A stunning Church, an incredible spread at the Hilton Grosvenor, a band that had the folk getting down until the early hours of the morning and a couple that were an absolute pleasure to be around.

The Old Parish Church in Costorphine was perhaps one of the most beautiful churches I have seen in years. We took our position for the service at the back of the church overlooking the ceremony. The fun part was that we has to squeeze up a very tiny and dusty staircase, dating back a few hundred years. (I'm sure folk were smaller back then as there is no way that you could climb those stairs in a hurry).

Kerry arrived with her bridesmaids looking stunning and quite relaxed. Andy too was as cool as a cucumber as he waited for his bride looking very dashing in his finest.

The service ended with a very "happy" version of "He's got the whole world in his hands", which was ended with a round of applause. Great Fun!

It was then off to the Hilton and some time in the gardens at the end of the street for some photography. Kerry's best pals provided the song and dance, much to the surprise of the neighbours around:) What a laugh that was. The bridesmaids made the garden session even better as they were all too willing to do some serious posing without any prompting - Cosmopolitan will be calling gals, you were great.

Once we had the photos we needed it was back to the Hilton for a cracking evening's entertainment highlighted by the Soul Kings, who were fantastic.

A great day in Edinburgh and a fantastic couple. We wish you all the best guys and thanks for inviting us to your celebration!!

The Wedding of Louise & Alan

2008-06-19T22:29:00.005+01:00

Louise and Alan were married in the East Larbert Church in Larbert on 14 June 2008. Arriving at Louise’s mum’s house to capture pictures of the bride getting ready it was pleasing to see how very calm and excited everyone was.
Louise already appeared to be having such a good time and when the bridesmaids appeared in their beautiful lime green dresses, it was evident the pictures were going to turn out great with the contrasting colours. Louise looked like a fairy tale princess, her dress was simply beautiful, a stylish romantic affair which added to the beauty of the pictures.

From the church everyone moved onto the reception venue, the Three Kings in Falkirk where the rest of the wedding was held. Everyone was so friendly and engaging and taking photo’s of the bridal party was an absolute pleasure. Louise and Alan in particular were great at posing and doing what we wanted without a single complaint, even though we’re sure we wrecked your shoes, Louise!!!! During the photo session, the weather took a turn for the worse and the rain came pelting down so it was a frantic run for the trees in order to get good cover but this certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and it added some drama to the day.

Both Alan and Louise were outstanding throughout which made our jobs really easy. Louise and Alan, we had a great time on your big day and want to thank you both for being such a great and engaging couple. This truly makes what we do such a pleasure and it shows in your pictures which are simply stunning, even if we do say so ourselves (ha! ha!)….

It’s been a while…..

2008-06-19T21:02:00.000+01:00

Feels like ages since we last posted a blog but it’s been one heck of a time. With our wedding season jam packed, portraiture sessions in full swing and a long awaited adoption over, we are finally getting back to our usual day to day activities.
Yes, after 3 very long years we have welcomed a new arrival to our family, a beautiful 13 month old baby girl called Summer Riley and she has certainly turned out to be a ray of sunshine in our lives.
Summer arrived on the 5th June and we are enjoying every spare minute we have with her. She is as cute as a button – well that’s what everyone tells us when they meet her and she’s learning new things every day.

To add to this, we are certainly getting in lots of practice on the photography side as little Summer is being snapped on a daily basis….we just can’t help ourselves!!!

The Wedding of Jayne and Dave

2008-06-18T22:11:00.003+01:00

Jayne and David’s wedding was certainly something to be remembered. Arriving at their home in the morning to take shots of the bride, it was great to see the sun streaming across a beautiful blue sky. Jayne was in fine spirits and was aptly assisted by her Mum and two bridesmaids in getting ready.

The wedding dress was magical, metres of material in a rich champagne shade with bits of sparkle scattered here and there. Adding to the beauty of the dress was when Jayne stepped into it and all the straps across the back had been tied.

From the brides home the bridal party made its way down to Aberdour Castle to celebrate the union of Jayne and David. The service was touching and humorous at the same time with the minister having some interesting moments…Jayne and David’s vows were completed. We were eager to get some formal shots whilst the weather was holding up and we certainly couldn’t have asked for a better day – the sun was beaming!

With the backdrop of the castle we were able to capture stunning shots of the couple and bridal party. Jayne and David were so patient during our time together and this certainly showed throughout the photo’s. They both looked so happy and were certainly having a fun time.
Once the photo’s were completed, everyone made their way across the Forth Road Bridge to continue the festivities at Orocco Pier. With the Forth Road Bridge in the background, it was the perfect backdrop to the day. It was an awesome experience working with Jayne and David and we enjoyed every minute and can only say they were great fun and professional throughout the day. A big thanks from us for letting us share your day with you both…..

Kerry and Andy's Engagement Session - Saughton Park

2008-05-18T18:50:00.002+01:00

This morning I had the pleasure of sharing the company of Kerry and Andy and to shoot the pre wedding "E" Session. It was great to get to bond with the fab couple who tie the knot in a few weeks at the Costorphine Old Parish Church, followed by a huge reception at the Grosvenor Hilton Hotel in Edinburgh.

We are really looking forward to your big day folks and thanks for this morning, it was great fun.

Stefan

Linda and Aaron do Norton House with style!!

2008-05-14T15:17:00.010+01:00

Saturday, 10th May 2008 dawned a bright and beautiful day. It started off a real “swealter” and by the time we arrived at Norton House Hotel for Aaron and Linda’s wedding, the day looked glorious. It was good to see the enthusiasm from Aaron who was literally dressed and ready way ahead of schedule. Aaron and his best man, Liam were soon “downing” the beers to keep the heat at bay and to help with the nerves, I suspect.

A couple of casual shots of the two blokes turned out great and who said women were the “posers” – these two did themselves proud and we captured some great shots in a matter of minutes.
Linda arrived at about 1pm and was soon in the bridal suite putting the finishing touches to her make-up and getting her dress on. Both her Mum and Tracey, the maid of honour were on hand to help Linda who was in fine spirits and to say the very least, the most relaxed bride to be we have ever seen.

The ceremony kicked off with Linda on the arm of her Dad walking down the red carpet in the Norton House Ballroom with all the guests eagerly appraising this stunning bride. Linda was beautiful with her long dark hair and her fairy tale princess dress. It was beautiful – all white and sparkly. And soon the couple were saying their vows which was hugely emotional and not a dry eye was left in the house as Aaron showed his softer side with a few tears escaping…. and more!!!

That said, the ceremony was soon over and it was time for the pictures. And being in Scotland the sun wasn’t going to stay, not a chance as very soon the rain started pelting down. We did our best with the formals in doors and made the most of the beautiful backdrops – the staircase and entrance to the hotel. Linda and Aaron were the perfect customers as they were so helpful and eager to get those perfect shots.

We can only say a huge thanks to the most patient and engaging couple we have ever met. They were utterly charming and the fabulous shots we got of them together proved that all the hard work was certainly worth it in the end.

Aaron and Linda, thank you for being perfect on the day. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the time with you and wish you much happiness, love and joy for the rest of your lives together.

The stunning flowers of the day were provided by Lilium of Edinburgh and the fabulous cake by Sucre Coeur.

E Session with Jayne and David - Aberdour Castle

Jayne and David are getting married at Aberdour Castle at the end of May and we arranged a final briefing this afternoon and managed to capture some great images of the fantastic couple just weeks before the big day. Here are some tasters. Thanks for today guys and we are really looking forward to sharing your special day with you.

Hey folks,

Take a look at this, what an excellent act - Britain truly has talent. Nothing to do with photography but hey everyone needs a laugh.

Cheers

I thought that I would pop in this post following some observations about how couples search for their wedding photographer these days. The trend seems to dictate that most couples choose a wedding photographer that is local to where they live under the assumption that there will not be any travel inconvenience or additional costs involved. Whilst this may be true in certain cases we welcome enquiries from couples from all over Scotland without any hidden costs or hassles.

We never expect a couple to pay any additional costs for travel on your wedding day and even arrange to come to you for your initial wedding consultation and pre -wedding briefing meetings if you wish. This means that there is no additional need for you to travel long distances to meet with us - it's so simple really!

In certain cases we also work in locations that we have not covered before and it is our standard business practice to do a complete scoping of all the venues involved on your wedding day prior to your final briefing meeting. What this means is that there are no surprises on the big day and we will know our way around the Church and Reception Venue weeks ahead of the wedding - the best photo locations are also discovered during these scopings.

So whether you live in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Glasgow, Stirling, Ayr, Inverness or Skye for that matter, we will offer you an outstanding service no matter the distance.

The Wedding of Susan and Michael

2008-03-01T17:51:00.004Z

Little Maya did not seem to impressed by all the photography and could not wait to make a quick retreat!

Yesterday we had the honour of shooting Susan and Mikes wedding in Bathgate. The weather had decided not to be kind to us and we were pelted with rain and blown to bits by the wind. As a result we had to stay confined to the Kaim Park Hotel which turned out to be fabulous. Susan and Mike are such a fantastic couple that sharing their wedding with them was an absolute treat. Susan looked stunning in her dress and Michael wore the most amazing kilt. A special thanks goes out to the staff of the Kaim Park for running such a smooth and professional event. We posted a pic of Alison and her team which we are sure they will be excited about!

Susan and Mike thanks for letting us share your day with you and we wish you both a lifetime of wonderful memories. See you when you get back from Thailand.

Braving the elements at Linlithgow Loch

2008-03-01T15:47:00.004Z

This morning we had the pleasure of spending time with four stunning sisters at Linlithgow Loch on one of our environmental shoots. Given that the wind felt like it was at gale force levels and it was absolutely freezing, we still managed to get some great shots that mum will be delighted with. We are completely proud of the girls for being so patient and full of fun. What stars you all were. Here are a few tasters of some of our favs.

Hey Folks,

This is one of our favourite songs of the moment and we thought that we would offer it up as a 1st dance suggestion if you need any inspiration. It's God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts.

The words are amazing.

Take care

Compliments of the Season

2007-12-29T14:50:00.000Z

It's been a few weeks since the last post which has been mainly due to us focussing on so many other things and getting ready for the new season. It has also been a time to recharge the batteries after a fantastic 2007. We were away over Christmas to our regular Christmas get away in Kinlochard near Stirling, (Rob Roy Country), which was really awesome at this time of year. I was really geared up to taking some lovely landscape shots but actually enjoyed the walks without the camera this time round, much to the delight of the dogs. Here is one snap that I managed to get of the Loch though just as the sun was trying to get through the clouds on Christmas Eve.

May we also take this opportunity to wish all our clients and friends a very prosperous and happy 2008.

The Wedding of Francesca and David

2007-10-31T18:20:00.000Z

From last week in Lanarkshire and this week in Stirling, we are certainly getting to see Scotland and understand its history and heritage, great for us South African’s who don’t have many castles back home.

David and Francesa’s wedding at Stirling Castle was really special and celebrated both the Christian and Jewish faith. Pastor Scott had some great words as his wedding talk and focussed on marriage and learning to compromise, although it was clear that in marriage the husband ends up doing most of that (Stefan, you’ll understand).

David looked very dapper, with his tails and yamulkah and all the ushers were especially helpful when trying to sort out some great shots. The church was spectacular inside and with soloist Catriona Scott, everything was perfect in time for the bride to arrive.

Francesca arrived shortly, led in by her bridesmaids and on the arm of her Dad and she looked radiant, like a forest princess in gold to the sounds of Catriona’s angelic voice and the hairs on my neck stood up. I suddenly had tears in my eyes and was hoping that I wasn’t messing up the pictures in this very emotional moment – thank goodness they came out better than ever, even if I do say so myself.
After the ceremony, all the group shots were taken and very shortly thereafter whilst the guests made their way to the reception we were left with Francesca and David on their own for their portrait shots. The day was gorgeous and with the church in the background and the colours of autumn around and on the ground, this was certainly the most perfect setting for such a young and gorgeous couple.

We were absolutely delighted with how well the couple took direction for the photographs and how they helped us make the best use of what I can only describe as a most surreal background. Francesca and David, you did such a fine job and it’s clearly evident in the pictures that we took. It looks like you’re in a movie!!!! Thank-you both and we trust you are enjoying Italy……see you when you get back.

The Wedding of Ann Marie and Jason

2007-10-31T18:17:00.001Z

Arriving at the venue of Ann Marie and Jason’s wedding we were totally bowled over at how breath-taking it was. Chatelherault is a restored hunting set in 500 acre country park with superb views north to Ben Lomond. It has around 10 miles of footpath in historic landscape and Avon River gorge including ancient oaks and extensive semi-natural woodland and is a sight to see.

Jason arrived well in time and shortly thereafter Ann Marie arrived with her brother on arm to take up her nuptials. Ann Marie looked like a princess with gold in her hair and a almost antique looking dress that suited her beautifully and the look on Jason’s face as she walked down the aisle said it all. The vows were beautiful and a short verse on marriage was ready by Ann Marie’s sister, Fiona.

Unfortunately Ann Marie’s mum was unable to make the day but we make a quick trip past the hospital to visit her and she was totally overwhelmed to see Ann Marie and to be given the bridal bouquet. This was first for us as photographers but we were only too glad to see Ann Marie and her mom together – what a beautiful and memorable moment. We hope your mom loved the flowers, Ann Marie. From there it was off to Inn on the Loch for lunch and then off to the evening event to party the night away.

And watching both Ann Marie and Jason dancing together, it was evident that they truly love one another and couldn’t take their eyes off each other. It was great to see and we trust they are having a ball on your honeymoon in the East for 5 weeks – no work for 5 weeks, we are jealous. All the best to you both and a safe trip!

The Wedding of Belinda and John

2007-10-31T18:14:00.000Z

The 29th of September dawned an overcast and grey day but not long after the sun came streaming through just in time to see Belinda walk down the aisle, a gorgeous vision in gold. With two stunning bridesmaids dressed in versions of Reese Wetherspoon’s red carpet dress on either side, the trio looked beautiful as they walked down the aisle.The beautiful Kirk of Calder hosted the union of Belinda and John – the present site of the church around having been around since 1150. Originally the The Abbot of Dunfermline controlled the church and appointed the vicar so lot's of history surrounding this background. From the church the bridal party and all the guests moved onto the Pumpherston Golf Club for the reception and what a elegant and lavish affair. All the details in gold were delightfully hand crafted and placed on the tables and for a special touch pictures of John and Belinda of their years growing up which was great to see. Not that either had changed very much…..

The meal was just like home-made with choices of steak pie or chicken with compliments to the chef. We wolfed down the food it was so good. And then onto the evening festivities with disco lights, the first dance and everyone joining in to dance the night away. Belinda and John, we wish you and your family much happiness now that you have tied the knot.

The Wedding of Kasey and Ryan

2007-09-30T16:56:00.000+01:00

Kasey and Ryan’s wedding day dawned bright and beautiful with the sun shining through the blue skies. What a way to start one of the happiest days of your life.
Stefan and I packed up our photographic equipment and drove through to Fauldhouse bright and early on the 7th September in order to catch Kasey getting her hair and make-up done.

We were welcomed at Kasey’s gran's house where champagne was in full flow and Kasey was getting her hair done in curls. We managed to catch a few great shots of the girls getting ready and were quite chuffed to be the first to see Kasey’s wedding dress upstairs.

And what a sight it was to behold – beautiful crystal beaded bodice and full bodied skirt which we realised would make for some stunning pictures. Nothing like taking pictures of a bride looking like a princess and Kasey did not disappoint.

Luckily for us, Ryan, who usually doesn’t like getting his picture taken, was in full swing and he did a fine job posing for us. We knew you had it in you, Ryan and we managed to click away merrily catching some great moments of the guys in their kilts overall.

From the arrival at the church to having their pictures taken, both Kasey and Ryan were and ideal pair to deal with and we had some fun posing them for some breathtaking shots. We were especially pleased to see how photogenic the couple were which certainly made our job easier and we were able to capture some artistic shots down at the bridge at Polkemmet Country Park.

Then we were off to the reception at Fauldhouse Miners and once again, Kasey outdid herself – the venue was decorated in a charming and stylish way and we were giving a full 3 course meal which made us feel very much part of the family. What a great family too, everyone was so concerned that we were having a good time and we were only the photographers. Thank you to Kasey and Ryan for making us feel so welcome – we had the very best time and were talking about your wedding for weeks after.

The Wedding of Karen and James

2007-08-27T22:00:00.001+01:00

August, the 10th started out as any other day in Scotland, grey, dull and miserable. We were a little stressed to say the least as Karen and James had chosen a stunning venue to celebrate their big day and with the weather being erratic we weren’t sure what to expect.

We were keeping our fingers crossed that the rain would let up and woe and behold after leaving Karen’s family home, the weather took a turn for the better. Slowly the skies dried up and the sun started peeping through.

From Kilcaldy taking pictures of the bride and her immediate family back across the bridge, we celebrated James and Karen’s wedding at Orrocco Pier in South Queensferry. A venue that allows for the most creative and stunning pictures with both bridges across the Firth of Forth serving as the backdrop.

Everything at Karen’s house was calm and everyone was very relaxed and the 4 page boys in their kilts were eager to pose for the camera, pulling some really “interesting faces”.

At the venue James was ready well in advance and enjoyed the time chatting to family and friends as he waited for his bride to arrive. Karen arrived shortly looking radiant in her beautiful ivory shade dress with silver detail and walked down the red carpeted aisle with a huge grin on her face.

As photographers we had a field day capturing images with the bridges in the back and with the sun shining down we had a great amount of fun taking photo’s of James and Karen on the beach. We had a good laugh and James especially enjoyed the “posing”.

It was a great day and ever thing ran according to plan from the start of the day to the cutting of the cake and the great dancing that followed. The band was superb and everyone was out in full swing jiving to the beat. We loved every minute of it – thanks to Mr and Mrs Sutherland for allowing us to share such a great and memorable day.

Moments with Angels

2007-08-09T01:28:00.000+01:00

Today was one of those life changing moments.....I had the wonderful opportunity to do some child portraiture with true professionals. And who says the "wee ones" can't pose like real models. Leila, Kalaih, Chloe and Kyla were angels and made my job so easy. I had a ball and realise that taking pics like this is so rewarding. Patience is all it takes and you can capture such real and innocent shots. I love these, not sure what you think but it was a great experience for me.

The Wedding of Kristiina and Eric

2007-08-08T22:15:00.000+01:00

Stefan and I jumped out of bed after having watched the weather forecast and realising that for one day at least, Scotland was going to have a good one. And it never disappointed – a beautiful warm summer’s day dawned and we couldn’t wait to get started.

We made our way up to Crieff, such a scenic drive and arrived 10:30 sharp to catch Kristiina getting ready. Kristiina did not disappoint even posing whilst getting her dress tied and always with a smile. Her elegance was so easy to capture and I had a field day getting those ultimate shots.
Stefan, on the other hand, rushed across to the Crieff Hydro to get the “boys” in action and had great fun getting them to pose. From standing looking smug outside the main reception to being pushed on the luggage trolley, there were smiles all round. The chaps looked dapper indeed.
A short drive away and by 12:30 we were at the church ready and waiting. The sun continued to shine and by the time the bride arrived, our camera lenses were well posed.

The ceremony went on without a hitch and pictures were taken in the grounds of the church and shortly thereafter we made our way up to Loch Turret past the Famous Grouse experience to capture Eric and Kristiina on their own. And what an unforgettable experience!

We had so much fun and Kristiina was a real trouper climbing over the fence in her beautiful gown, but we got those stunning shots that had been requested and lots more. From champagne squirting all over the place (I think both Eric and Kristiina were dripping in it) when the cork popped to chasing a nearby car that had stalled, we have never laughed so much.

From there it was back to the Famous Grouse for the reception but we decided to take a few of those last minute shots on the bridge and Kristiina ended up losing a heel in the process and watching it float down the river. But she never lost her composure and laughed through it all. You’d swear we are amateurs at this rate!!!

It was perfect and we can only say to both Kristiina and Eric – you guys were amazing. Your smiles never faded throughout the day and you both made this such an amazing experience for us. Kristiina, you were such an adventurous bride for which we were so grateful as we captured truly memorable images. Thank-you!

The Wedding of Tracy and Brian

2007-08-07T18:14:00.000+01:00

There really is no better job in the world than being able to capture the special day of a very special couple. Brian and Tracy could not have chosen a more wonderful, sunny May day for their wedding in Kircaldy. Tracy looked absolutely stunning in her dress, which made the equally dapper Brian very proud. After the ceremony we had a chance to run around the Memorial Gardens for some photos and were the subject of some serious horn blowing from the passing motorists. The entire wedding party were great sports making the best of the lovely gardens. Then it was off to the reception for an evening of family, friends and festivity. It was a fab day folks and we loved being part of it.

The Wedding Of Sharon and Rob Coles

2007-04-25T23:03:00.000+01:00

Guthrie Castle served as the background for Sharon and Rob’s wedding on the
19th April.This beautiful private residence that has opened its doors to guests over the past few years has the most beautiful surroundings - from the secret garden, surrounding greens of the golf course, the quaint cottages spotted in the grounds and the James Bond Aston Martin parked out front, it was the perfect setting for such a glamorous and elegant affair.

The day began unusually with not the groom worrying about when the bride may arrive but instead it was the bride who was kept waiting as the groom was running late but all for good reason…... Rob had spent the time not taking ages to get ready but rather being roped into having to press everyone’s shirts. Unlucky Rob although he did a fab job – Sharon can always hire him out for ironing services!!!

Rob and Sharon were the epitome of elegance and the joy shared with their loved ones was evident throughout the day. In particular was the touching and memorable ceremony when they shared their vows, which certainly added to the romance of the day.

Sharon looked like a movie star with a designer gown and the most beautiful train that flowed gently behind her. From petals being gently thrown as she entered the garden to reaching the altar where Rob was waiting looking very dapper and filled with pride, everything about this day had a sense of style about it and with many touching moments this was certainly a wedding to remember.

To entertain the younger guests, everyone joined in playing croquet with Sharon’s daughter Samantha having the most fun trying to work out creative ways of hitting the ball. We captured a few fun shots of that!!!!

Besides one moment of pure panic when there was a frantic search for the schedule, the event was seamless and everyone had a good visit to Scotland to celebrate this awesome day. Sharon and Rob, it was an honour to share this happy event with you and your family.

The Wedding of Trish and Mike Carlisle

2007-04-16T15:43:00.001+01:00

What a fantastic weekend we just had, not only was it gloriously hot but we also attended and captured the wedding of Trish and Mike. The only word that can describe their special day is "Awesome". The handsome couple looked dashing in the combinations of subtle shades of gold, which really complimented the summer colours of the day.

The service was held at the Viewfield Church in Stirling which stood proud against the rich blue sky of the historic city.

The reception was held at the amazing Kilbryde Castle in Dumblane, which provided manicured gardens and a glorious feast that was enjoyed by all.

It was a truly wondeful day and an honour to be part of the union of Trish and Mike.

We wish you a lifetime of love and memories guys.

Stefan and Charmaine

The Wedding of Clair and Toby Morton

2007-04-11T14:51:00.000+01:00

Morning broke on the 25th of Feb and when I looked outside at the weather, the skies were grey and grumpy. However in the distance was a little glimmer of blue sky, it was then that I knew it was going to be a glorious day. Charmaine and I jumped into action and left for the Bride and Grooms getting ready locations. Clair and Toby were filled with excitement for the big day ahead, which made our jobs a pleasure. Not to mention the fantastic wedding party that surrounded them that were more than willing to give us their best poses and smiles.

After a lesson in the "Zoolander" pose, I made my way from Toby's house to the Kingdom Halls to prepare for the arrival of the Bride. After the lovely ceremony filled with both laughter and tears of joy we made our way to the Houstoun House Hotel for the reception.

After braving the brief spells of rain for some photos, the wedding party joined the guests for the champagne reception before heading off to a glorious reception dinner and an evening of some "serious" dance moves.

We had a great day and loved sharing it with you folks. I especially liked the fact that I got the whole group to shout Arsenal during the big group shot!! or maybe I was the only one shouting and everyone else was saying something that I can't repeat:). Nonetheless may you both have a lifetime of happiness and joy..

Stefan and Charmaine

Clair and Toby's Engagement Session

2007-03-06T16:25:00.000Z

With Spring only a matter of weeks away and the wedding season close on it's heels, love is most definately in the air. We recently spent an afternoon with Clair and Toby for an engagement shoot at Linlithgow Loch. The local dog walkers must have thought that the much in love couple were movie stars by the way that we were running after them with our cameras:) Very Paparazzi!!

We managed to capture some lovely images on the day and have just shared the big day with Clair and Toby on the 25th of Feb. Watch this space for the images!!

Thanks to you both for introducing us to The Four Mary's, we had a great time at the briefing and will most definately be going there again.

The Wedding of Lesley and Gareth Brown

2006-12-28T23:34:00.000Z

Lesley was introduced to us through Helen (the wedding we had done in Dunkeld) and one evening, we took a drive out to Dunblane to meet up with Gareth, Lesley and little Ellie. And what a treat it was as we seriously thought we had just met two top models – a delight for any photographer.

Lesley and Gareth had a nice Irish twist to their wedding and we thought “The Corrs” had been invited because we had truly never seen so many good-looking people in one room. What a day it was – the Stirling Highland served as backdrop for this wedding with it old stone walls and although the light was fading fast on the day, the smiles of all the family and friends brightened up the setting. Not only was the bride a picture to behold, but Ellie, Lesley and Gareth’s little girl looked simply lovely in her white dress and ballet shoes. The wedding cake was not only a tribute to their day but also to Ellie’s first birthday with a teddy bear’s picnic cake at the top and the wedding cake at the bottom.

This day was filled with so much happiness and humour that we can only say that being in the company of so many Irish folk can certainly put a smile on one’s face and make the day working furiously so much more relaxed.

Lesley, Gareth and Ellie – your wedding was great and your pictures are simply stunning, even if we do say so ourselves (ha! ha) - thank-you for making this job so enjoyable.

The Wedding of Lauren and Andy Sweeney

2006-12-28T23:33:00.000Z

Aberdour Castle with it's resident ghost Margaret and scenic and historic backdrop provided the perfect setting for the wedding of Lauren and Andy. Not even the howling winds, periods of torrential Scottish rain and freezing cold could spoil the magic of the day. We were fortunate enough to get a few brief moments of sunshine in between to capture some of the wedding images. Both Lauren and Andy were fantastic and braved the cold to do all that was necessary to get those much needed pics . Andy looked fantastic in his kilt and Lauren was a vision in white with deep ruby red and purple accessories. She looked serene and beautiful and the pictures captured the warmth and depth of these magnificent colours.

Following the drinks reception in the courtyard, the wedding party headed to the Woodside Hotel, a few hundred yards from the castle to celebrate the rest of the day. The Woodside ensured that Andy and Lauren had a day to remember with fantastic food, great music and the bringing together of family and friends to celebrate the marriage of two magic people. Andy and Lauren – thanks for letting us capture your big day, guys, it was an absolute pleasure!

The Wedding of Helen and Rog Jeffrey

2006-12-28T23:32:00.000Z

Helen and Rog chose the beautiful Dunkeld House Hotel as the perfect setting for their big day. Helen arrived looking very excited and could not drop the cheeky grin from her face. Rog, on the other hand, looked confident and filled with pride each time he looked at Helen. The weather was as challenging as only the Scottish weather can be, but overall nothing could dampen the spirits of the bride, groom and their guests.

Close family attended this great day in order to honour the very special union of Helen and Rog and the pictures we took captured the Helen and Rog we had come to know and love. What a spectacular couple who had good fun in the rain and down at the river – although we did have to stop Rog from trying to kiss Helen too many times – there are only so many side pics a photographer can take…..(ha! ha!).

Helen was the perfect bride, smiling beautifully for the camera and looking very elegant in pale lilac and Rog looked very dapper in his pink shirt (not sure he will be happy that we mention this but he looked very dashing indeed). From a few raindrops to some sunny skies we captured many beautiful and memorable shots and want to thank both Helen and Rog for a fabulous day. We felt privileged to be part of it…..

The Wedding of Helen and Stuart Lawson

2006-12-28T23:30:00.000Z

Nothing could have prepared us for the wedding of Helen and Stuart after only knowing a week or so before the event that we would be taking their wedding pictures and what a delight it was for us both.

Helen and Stuarts wedding in Oban was beautiful with the most memorable sunny skies we have ever experienced since moving to Scotland. It felt like a day on the French Riviera and Helen and Stuart’s wedding added to the glamour. With blue skies, sun reflecting across the water and the bride looking radiant and happy, we were able to take some unbelievable pictures. Helen was such a relaxed bride and had great fun getting ready in the morning – although it was a sweltering day and we had her and her bridesmaids standing in the sun for what felt like ages.

We were the only ones that seemed to be breaking out in sweat…..running from the brides family home to the church and then to the reception venue. It was hard work but worth every minute and Helen and Stuart posed naturally throughout. What a stunning couple and who could forget Stuart’s song to his bride when she entered the church nor the wonderful wedding cake that highlighted their love of travelling. Helen and Stuart, thank-you for believing in us and for letting us share a truly magic day with you both!
