Summer is a bad time for a wedding photographer to keep up to date with his blog. A better bet is have a look at what I have been posting on Facebook. As an option for couples I now offer to put some of the official photos on Facebook the next day. I have found couples love this for a few reasons; they get to

Eilidh and Alan had chosen to be married in St Columba’s Free Church of Scotland, at the top of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, early on a Friday afternoon. I probably don’t need to tell anyone how popular the the Royal Mile is with tourists, or just how close we were to the castle. If the place wasn’t busy enough when we arrived, it certainly

I had already met Yvonne and Tim near to the wedding venue for their engagement photo shoot (see earlier blog entry). After the shoot we took the opportunity to visit the church and reception venue together. It is always useful, if possible, to visit venues with couples. That way we can choose photo locations together and make sure that I understand the timings of the

Selina and Andy have already left a great review on Facebook and Google+. I thought it was about time I posted a few photos. Selina and Andy were married in the impressive St Andrew’s in the Square in Glasgow. An 18th century category A listed former church and now Glasgow’s Centre for Scottish Culture. It is a magnificent building inside and out. This being Glasgow

Before they were married Yvonne and Tim wanted to do a pre-wedding photo-shoot. These are great to give you some practice in front of the camera and to get some photos that can be used on a signing-board for guests on the wedding day. Yvonne, Tim, and I went to the beach at Elie in Fife, which was very close to the wedding venue. We

Danielle and Calum had their wedding and reception in the Grange Manor Hotel in Grangemouth, Falkirk. They had been planning their Christmas wedding for some time and while they didn’t get snow they did have a Christmas tree and decorations. It all felt pretty christmassy, which is a good vibe to start a wedding with. I began by photographing the bride and her party in

I love it when I see my work being used. It’s even nicer when it is in the form of a card saying “thank you”:

Lana and Stuart chose St Andrews University old College Halls for their wedding this October. Access to them is under the university clock tower and through an impressive quadrangle, making for a grand entrance. The couple had put a lot of time and effort in to planning the day and adding lots of personal touches. They had thought of everything – even a large bunch

Jennifer and Andrew had their wedding at the Barony Castle Hotel in the Scottish Borders near Peebles. The couple booked me nearly two years ago so it was good to finally get to do the job for them. The Castle and its grounds are both very good for photos (the service and the ambiance aren’t bad either!). Also, the autumn colours always add a bit

Nicole and Simon had their wedding at Melville Castle in Midlothian, just outside Edinburgh. With a late November wedding in Scotland you never can predict what the weather will do. The weather was awful the day before with the rain lashing down for hours. But the day itself dawned dry and just got better. I arrived early to take some photos of the bride and
