They liked this shot – not that there was any similarity to the signs of course

It’s not as high as it looks – honest!

Of course I had to end on a silhouette shot, and they don’t really come any more dramatic than this … what a sky!

The weather on the day was fantastic, okay, well maybe a little too hot for us people that aren’t used to heat like that, but apart from that it was a great day. Here are just a few shots from the day to give you an idea.

Alistair getting ready, with Mum sorting the buttonhole  and Dad watching closely

It’s time for Dad to let his daughter go … 

The Kiss just before exiting the Church

Just one a a number of images we captured after we went back into the Church for a quick Bridal session

Yes, I’ve shot this scene in the past, but never has the light been as defined as it was on this occasion .. Wow !   

A funny moment while we were doing the group shots 

I know, but I just had to 

One of my “alternate” group shots – what can I say … it works !

A cute moment … 

Just another fun shot

and to finish off, just one from the first dance ..

Mary and Alistair, what a great day we had … and I’m looking forward to designing your set of albums  .. J-Sol

I recently had the pleasure of covering the wedding of Louise and John-Paul who got married at the Holy Trinity and all saints Church near Coatbridge and had their reception at the MacDonald Inchyra Grange Hotel 

Here are just a few very select shots from their day …   

All of the Bridesmaids getting ready ..

Just one of the Bridal shots that I took while Louise was getting ready

The girls looking very pretty…

and finally a few first dance shots …

Louise and John Paul, congratulations once again, and all the very best to you both for the future

They decided that they wanted to do the shoot in the small Perthshire village of Kenmore, as this is where the wedding was to be held. In fact, the wedding is actually at the Kenmore Hotel which is apparently Scotland’s oldest Inn.  So, early one morning we set off to see what we could do in this quiet little village, without waking the neighbours! 

So much for a surprise, it looks like the village already knew we were coming .. okay so I might be kidding, this may just be the work of Photoshop

The actual wedding venue in the background

This is the main bridge over the river Tay, which then flows into Loch Tay, so it’s a pretty symbolic feature in this area. Sarah and Scott are actually standing on the jetty at the rear of the hotel, the very jetty that they will be married on … now that’s just a little bit different !! 

Just me being a little artistic as always

I really liked this one, in fact it was only one of a set that we did on the beach .. and we were having great fun !!

Later in the shoot, we went for a few dark, romantic shots, which came out rather well I thought

and as regular viewers will testify, a silhouette shot is generally expected in an E-Session, so why not… 

Sarah and Scott, the next post will be a few of your wedding images

As usual, there was a lot of laughter with the girls during the getting ready stage

Pamela just getting the final touches..

The Bridesmaids

Just a couple of shots of Rick getting ready  

The Boys, temporarily taking ownership of the main road through their home village  

So it was then back to the girls, and Pam’s stunning dress..

An “alternative shot” from just one of the many group shots that we did on the day

Boys … will be boys   

Pam and Rick, it was my pleasure to work with you both. You had a fantastic day, and it shows in the images that we captured. As you already know, I wish you both all the very best together, forever.

For a change I’m going to start with a silhouette shot, why? well because we ended in one too, but it was slightly different from this one      

something a little bit different ?

Just playing with the shadows on this one

Now for the silhouette shot that’s just a little bit different … comments on a postcard please ..  

Karen and Scott, not long now and I’m looking forward to the big day !!

This was the view from the honeymoon suite – Malcolm was actually watching the RAF jets fly down the valley early in the morning, and they were lower than his room!

Back to the wedding … Lena and her mum as they were getting ready    

Lena’s Bridesmaid 

Malcolm and the boys were getting ready over on the other side of the Hotel

who says it’s hard work getting ready for a wedding ???

Just a few final shots of Lena before she heads down to the ceremony .. 

The flowers that were everywhere on the day, were fantastic, and were supplied by Emma from Coach House Flowers  Emma also did the flowers on the cake and the bouquet, which can be seen further down this post. She’s an extremely nice girl, and as you can see, very talented at her work too, so give her a call on 0787 655 6713

Lena walking down the aisle with her Dad 

Just a few images after the ceremony ..

One of the many shots of the speeches

The cake and flowers mentioned above ..

What a fantastic day. The weather just after the ceremony was actually terrible, but we got out later in the evening to grab all of the formal shots, so it ended well.

Lena and Malcolm, thanks once again, and all the very best for the future.
