Location, Location, Location

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.

Welcome to Spring

on Tuesday, 1 April 2008


It's April Fools day and the beginning of Spring finally!!! We thought that we would kick off the new season with a great promotion to accompany all "Something Blue" and "The Ultimate Something" wedding packages booked in April (and it's not a joke).

All clients booking the above this month will receive a one nights bed and breakfast stay at the fantastic Fairmont St Andrews Bay Hotel. Take a look at the following link: http://www.fairmont.com/standrews
Sitting on the summit of a spectacular formation, the hotel and its two stunning golf courses have breathtaking panoramic views of the Eden estuary and the medieval skyline of St Andrews. Fairmont St Andrews is the premier conference and leisure destination in Scotland.

The Wedding of Susan and Michael




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








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

S&C



Thrilling Moves!!



Found this clip today which makes for some great first dance ideas...Nothing like getting all the guests involved. Enjoy!!

The studio update

on Saturday, 16 February 2008

A recent photograph by Charmaine after a most delicious lunch in St Marks Square. Is there anywhere in the world like Venice?

Compliments of the Season

on Saturday, 29 December 2007


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.
