MELANIE & GAVIN 25TH SEPT 2009

This weekend we had the great pleasure of being part of Melanie and Gavins long awaited wedding in the gorgeous Luss Parish Church in Loch Lomond.

Driving up to Melanie's house for the preparation photos we were a little worried as the weather started to get a bit dull, but this was only an advantage in the end as the dark skies only made the photographs look so much more dramatic.

After the service the couple walked from the church along to the famous jetty for some stunning photographs with the wind blowing through Melanie's 10ft long veil.

The couple held their reception in the lovely Duck Bay Marina, and at the end of the night had a surprise for the guests with a fabulous firework display.

AMANDA & JAMES 5TH SEPT 2009

This Saturday we had the pleasure of attending Amanda and James's wedding in Mosspark parish church. The weather when we arrived at Amanda's house was quite wet and windy, but when she came out of her house with her Dad it started to clear up a bit, which was just as well as there must have been over 50 neighbours waiting to see her leave.

The service went really well after which Amanda and James decided to brave the weather to go to Pollok House for their photos, allowing the rest of the wedding party to carry on the the Normandy Hotel in Renfrew for the reception.

TRACY AND STEPHEN

Our next couple of this weekend was Tracy and Stephen , The wedding took place in Merrylee Parish church Glasgow then onto the Bruce Hotel in East Kilbride for the reception.

Tracy had everyone on tenterhooks when she was held up at the hairdressers and didn't arrive back at her house until only 10 minutes before the ceremony leaving her in the house alone with her dad after all the bridesmaids had left for the church, fortunately we [ Angela ] stayed behind at the house and managed to dress the bride and take her photos in only 5 minutes.

The service conducted by the Rev Hood went perfectly , after which the wedding party went to the lovely Greenbank gardens for the formal photographs , we even managed to dodge the rain .

Tracy and Stephen are now away for a well earned honeymoon to Tenerife

DIANE & DAVID 28TH AUG 2009

This week we travelled to the Strathaven hotel for Diane and Davids wedding. The day started off a bit wet but soon cleared up in the afternoon leaving us with some pretty high winds to contend with. The service conducted by a registrar went without a hitch even though Dianne was physically rattling with nerves as she walked down the aisle, but as soon as she saw David waiting on her she soon calmed down .

The photographs were taken at the hotel, which had a unique feature of an old red telephone box in the garden.

Diane and David are now away on a fantastic honeymoon to Jamaica.

JULIE AND RICHARD 23RD AUG

Many of you who are regulars to our blog site will remember the names of this weekends bride and groom as they were recently featured when they had an engagement shoot at our studio.

Well yesterday they were married in the wonderful House of an Art Lover in Glasgow. The weather in the morning was pretty wet, which prompted Julie to cancel a guard of honer by her majorettes class, but as the time for the wedding grew near we had one or two dry moments enough to let us get out and get some photos in the walled gardens.

Once the formals were finished it started to rain again so it was a mad dash back inside to finish the photographs in the gorgeous room designed by Charles Rennie McIntosh .......

Richard and Julie are now away on a fabulous 3 week honeymoon to Hong Kong

Wedding show fever

This weekend for us is the start of a very busy wedding show season , it started with a special 2 day preview in the Braehead shopping centre to promote the The Scottish wedding exhibition in 2 weeks time on the 5th and 6th Sept . We were delighted to be the only photographer to be at this special preview which turned out to be a lot of fun for us especially as we made a lot of new friends.

After the Braehead Exhibition we are delighted to have been asked to exhibit at the first wedding show ever held in the Reid Mckeown Centre in Erskine Hospital, this show is also in part to raise funds for the ex servicemens appeal and also to promote the centre as a new wedding venue.This show will take place on the 12th Sept.

Our next exhibition will take place on Sat 10th October , this time we will be at Rangers Football Stadium for which we are over the moon at being chosen as the only photographer to asked to attend . This is a new venue for us so it should be an exciting day all round .

After the Wedding show in Ibrox stadium we will then be exhibiting in one of our old haunts , The Normandy Hotel in Renfrew , we say this as we had our studio based in this hotel just over a year ago so it will be like going back to see an old friend .

ANNETTE AND GAVIN 15TH AUG 2009.

Our second wedding this week had us travelling to St Peters church in Paisley for Annette and Gavins lovely wedding.

The weather was a bit better than the day before so after the ceremony conducted by Father Cameron the main bridal party travelled to our home turf of Finlayston for the photos.

The reception was held in the Holiday Inn where Annette works on the reception desk , and when the couple arrived the entire staff where waiting at the door to greet them with Champagne which was a lovely touch.

I,m sure that made them both feel really special.
