John & Fiona

Every now and then I get the opportunity to photograph a friends wedding. Over the years I have had the privilege to shoot many of my friends but as most of us are now married the opprtunity gets slimmer each year.

John and Fiona have been friends for longer than I care to think about. We have shared lots of great times together and on Sunday 6th July we all get to share their wedding day with them. They are getting married at the beautiful Roman Camp Hotel in Callander. The plan is for an outdoor ceremony on the lawn by the river. Outdoor ceremonies are so rare in Scotland it will be awesome. Good luck guys and I can't wait for the big day.

Leslie & Barry eSession

I recently had the privilege of shooting a wonderful engagement session at Glasgow University. These two were great fun and really natural in front of the camera. Lots of nice relaxed portraits and some lovely backdrops also. Role on the 5th of June.

Check out their slide show here!!!!!

Happy Birthday Babe

Blair and I just want to wish the most wonderful girl in the world a Happy Birthday.

We love you!!!

Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius

I was fortunate enough recently to visit the Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius exhibition at the City Arts Centre in Edinburgh.

I think every photographer, if not a fan, has an appreciation for how good Ansel was. A true genius. It is the first time and probably last, that his original photographs were on display in Scotland. The collection is owned by George Eastman House International Museum of Photography in NY.

Easter Sunday - Gary & Lynn

Gary and Lynn are home from an amazing honeymoon and are over the moon with their photographs. What a great way to start the 2008 wedding season with such a beautiful wedding on Easter Sunday.The weather was a little cold but the sunlight was beautiful and the little bit of snow,well we just called it 'cold confetti'.

As for Gary and Lynn, what can I say, a beautiful, fun loving and very relaxed couple. Both Gary and Lynn and indeed the two families were great fun to photograph. Lynn looked amazing in her gorgeous dress and watching the tears in her mums eyes as she helped to fasten the dress was very emotional.

They had planned some lovely details for the day such as a wonderful string quartet playing while the guests arrived, the flowers by De Bloemist were as beautiful as ever and of course Glenskirlie Castle is just stunning.

Enjoy the photographs everyone. The slideshow will follow tomorrow.

Time is Flying

Where has the last 5 and a half months gone. I can not believe how fast time seems to be going at the moment. I guess when life is busy with work and a new family it is hard to keep it from going faster than you want.

Your wish is my..................
