Wedding photography at Dalhousie Castle – Kirsty & Stuart

Friday, June 25, 2010 Posted in Dalhousie Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland, Weddings

Decent weather, my favourite venue, great people – it must be Kirsty & Stuart’s wedding at Dalhousie Castle. The ceremony was conducted by the wonderful Juliette Wilson from the Humanist Society with her usual blend of passion and panache, and the rings were delivered mid-ceremony by one of the owls from the Falconry Centre at Dalhousie.

Here are a few of the photos from the day, there are loads more on Facebook so head over there and tag yourselves & your friends by clicking here. The rest will be online once Kirsty & Stuart have seen them, but first they are off for a well deserved honeymoon!

Wedding Photography at St Ninian’s Church & Norton House Hotel – Kirsty & Charlie

Monday, June 21, 2010 Posted in Norton House Hotel, Edinburgh, Scotland, Weddings

How can I describe Kirsty & Charlie’s wedding? Simply this – one of the most enjoyable weddings I have ever had the privilege of being part of. Having attended and photographed hundreds of weddings in the last ten or so years there are a few which stand out as being memorable, and Saturday’s wedding at St Ninian’s and Norton House Hotel will definitely be one of them. All the ingredients were there: a beautiful, relaxed, naturally happy bride (I teased her about being Bridezilla but actually she was anything but) and a great groom, accompanied by family and friends who could not have been more welcoming; great venues where both the minister and the hotel staff were friendly & helpful; stunning classic cars from Ecosse Classic Wedding Cars; great speeches (where Charlie didn’t get too much of a hard time!); and rounded off with entertainment from the Scott Leslie band who always lead a great party. And the weather of course. Special mention to young Duncan who was my willing assistant for most of the afternoon. Despite his young age he’s got all the signs of being a talented photographer in his own right in a few years, with plenty of encouragement from Mum & Dad.

All in all it was the perfect wedding, which is probably why there are so many photos – and these are just my favourites! I couldn’t fit them all in here so I’ve picked 20 for the blog and there are loads more here on Facebook, where you are welcome to view & tag as many as you like.

The full collection will be online soon, once Kirsty & Charlie are back from honeymoon and have been up for their viewing, in the meantime please feel free to leave them a message here using the comment function.

Wedding photography at Balgonie Castle & Balbirnie House Hotel – Gillian & Simon

Sunday, June 6, 2010 Posted in Balbirnie House Hotel, Balgonie Castle, Fife, Scotland, Weddings

Hottest day of the year. Ceremony in a windowless chamber with only candles for light. Stampeding cows. These are just some of the challenges that face a wedding photographer in the modern world. Cows? Yes, cows – this is the sight that greeted Gillian and her father when they arrived at Balgonie Castle for her wedding to Simon:

After a bit of cow-shooing from myself, the bus driver and Stuart of Balgonie, they made it through the gate:

The darkness of the wedding chapel at Balgonie Castle was a welcome contrast from the blazing sunshine outside. Thankfully modern professional cameras are amazing – it was way darker than this to the naked eye:

After drinks & nibbles in the grounds of Balgonie Castle it was a short drive through Markinch to the equally magnificent Balbirnie House Hotel where Phyllis and her excellent team would look after Gillian & Simon in style for the rest of the day.
