SUZANNE & ALISTAIR 30TH MAY 2009

The third wedding this week saw us travelling just up the road to the prestigious Cameron House Hotel in Loch lomond for Suzanne and Alistairs wedding, again the weather was fantastic .
Suzanne arrived for the ceremony looking lovely in the one of the cutest wedding cars we have ever seen, an Ivory coloured convertible volkswagon beetle.
After the vows the entire wedding party went out to the lawn for champagne and strawberries with the stunning backdrop of Ben Lomond in the background.
There was a brief moment of hilarity when the couple were having some photographs on the jetty, a passing speedboat caused the jetty to sway from side to side so much everyone nearly ended in the water.
Back in the hotel the couple where surprised to find that when they went to cut the cake there was not one but two cakes, one was in the shape of the stage at T in the park complete with Pete Docherty.

SIOBHAN & CRIAG 30TH MAY

The second of our weddings this weekend was with a couple known to us for a long time, as the bride was a bridesmaid at a wedding we did last year, but as a bride Siobhan was even more lovely .

Siobhan and Craig picked the fantastic venue of Burnhouse Manor to tie the knot, again we were blessed with fantastic weather with the temps being even higher that the previous day.

Most of the photos were taken around the Manor, but the couple did manage to get away for a few moments alone to get some photos taken at a lovely little cottage at the end of driveway.

The happy couple are now away to Cancun for a well earned honeymoon.

KIRSTY & JAMES 29TH MAY 2009

This weekend we had the pleasure of photographing 3 lovely weddings , the first was at the Gorgeous Glenskirlie House in Banknock, where Kirsty and James chose to hold their wedding ceremony . The weather could not have been better for a change with temperatures reaching over 73degrees.

Kirsty looked radient when she arrived, and there were even a few tears during the vows too.

After the ceremony the couple went Colzium country park for their photo shoot.

They are now away on a fantastic honeymoon to the Maldives.

MARK AND NATHAN

This morning we had one of our favourite grooms into the studio with his lovely son Nathan, Mark asked if Nathan could have a portrait taken as surprise for his grans birthday, these are a couple from the shoot .

NICOLA & CRAIG 23RD MAY 2009

Well as previously mentioned we had a busy weekend last week with two weddings being held. The second of our two lovely couples were Nicola and Craig who chose to hold the ceremony in the gorgeous Dalmeny Park Country House Hotel in Barrhead .

The morning of the wedding was a little bit wet and windy but it soon dried up when Nicola arrived in a lovely open top vintage limo.

The ceremony held in the Garden Suite was full of laughter and tears when Nicola managed to fluff her vows , throwing the minister off his stride.

After the ceremony the couple and their guests went into the gardens for the photos , the whole time we were there the rain managed to stay off .

Nicola and Craig are now off for a luxurious honeymoon to Mexico ...........

EILEEN AND DEREK 23RD MAY 2009

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing two lovely couples weddings.
The first wedding was with Eileen and Derek a couple who we have known for a while as Eileens dad works in the place where our previous studio used to be based.
Eileen and Derek held their wedding in the Holiday Inn Glasgow airport , and although the day started off a bit cold and windy they were still able to travel to the grounds of our studio at Finlaystone Country Estate for the bridal shoot to be done with their wedding party.
After the photos were taken everyone travelled back to the Holiday Inn for the remainder of their photos to be taken and the reception to begin.
Eileen and Derek are now taking a well earned rest before returning to work next week.

Caroline,Chris and Zara

The second of our couples who we had their shoot last week was Caroline, Chris and their gorgeous little girl Zara .

Caroline and Chris are getting married very soon so thought it would be a good idea to come in and get some photos together as a family before the big day.

Tracy ,Brian and Rebecca

Last week was a busy one in the Studio as we had several portrait bookings , the first was Tracy Brian and Rebecca a great wee family who are also using us for their wedding photography in a few weeks time.

We took them out into the grounds of Finlaystone for a short taster in how it would be like on their wedding day .

below are a few results .....

OLIVER

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by one our favourite wedding couples from 2007 to say they now had a gorgeous little boy called Oliver and they wanted some family photographs together.

Pamela and Stuart brought Oliver into to see us and we had a great time photographing the 3 of them both in the studio and out in the grounds of Finlaystone.

here are a few examples

BABY JACK HAS ARRIVED.

Well last weekend was one of our busiest and most interesting ever as we had several unusual photo sessions to do , one of which was the first portrait of a gorgeous little boy named Jack.
Jack was only born 7 days before, in fact his parents Lynn and Richard one of our bride and grooms emailed us only a matter of a few days after his birth to make sure they were able to get him to us while he was "just fresh out of the wrapper" .
The strange thing is in our experience we find that all newborns sleep through their first portrait, so because of this we planned each shot before Jack came up with him sleeping, but this little lad decided that he wanted to be different and stayed awake for most of the shots, he even embarrassed his mum and dad by weeing on his dad and then onto our floor.
Its not hard to fall in love with this little boy, and we're sure when his family see his gorgeous photos they will love them too.

DONNA AND PAULS MATERNITY SHOOT,

This week we had the pleasure of doing our first maternity shoot in our new studio at Finlaystone. One of our favourite wedding couples from last year

Donna and Paul kindly agreed to be our models for this shoot depicting one of the most wonderful times in a couples life, the closeness of the couple is clearly shown in the photographs, so it made the entire shoot a complete joy.

These photographs will be cherished for years to come we're sure, and as the baby is due in under 4 weeks we look forward to continuing with the new born session soon after he or she arrives .

Good luck to both of you in the next few weeks.
