Limited Offer:
Full Day Wedding Photography Coverage for just £495

Posted in Promotions, Weddings

Yes folks, it’s true, for a very limited period, I’m offering you a full day wedding photography package for just £495 – that’s half the usual cost! No catch! Here’s what you’ll get:

- initial meeting at the studio to discuss your big day and your photography requirements
- full day coverage on your wedding day from bridal prep through to first dance
- all your images fully edited to make them look their absolute best
- an online gallery so that you, your family and friends can view your images
- all the images from your day (approx. 400) presented to you on a disk complete with full licencing to share and print as you wish
- the option to take a post-wedding “Rock the Frock” session

The only condition is that full payment must be made upon booking (all major cards accepted). And, if you wanted to add an album, that’s no problem. I offer two luxurious albums, the Graphistudio from Italy and the Queensberry from New Zealand – these can either be purchased before the wedding or any time up to one year afterwards if you wish to spread your budget.

Glasgow Portrait Photography:
Gillian & Paul’s Pre-Wedding Shoot in Bellahouston Park

Posted in Pre-Wedding Shoots

OK, so back on pre-wedding shoot duty today folks with Gillian & Paul in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. Only time I’ve bee here before is when I cam to see Coldplay back in, let me see, 2005 I think. Of course, coming here to see a band with thousands and thousands of people doesn’t mean that I’m familiar with the lay of the land; far from it, I barely recognise it from when I was here before – no stage, no beer tent and, well, no Coldplay, not unless they’re skulking around in the grounds somewhere – unlikely I would say!

Falkirk Portrait Photography:
Marie & Thomas’ Pre-Wedding Shoot in Callendar Park

Posted in Pre-Wedding Shoots

So, after a couple of weeks off (one planned and one not), I’m back in the groove today (wow, how eighties is that phrase – I sound like a radio DJ from a bygone era), and on pre-wedding shoot duty with Marie & Thomas. And, I’m close to home, just down the road in Falkirk at Callendar Park. I’ve done quite a few shoots here before and it’s a great location to just go off on a wander and see what transpires and that’s exactly what we do today.

Down by the Riverside:
A Pre-Wedding Shoot in Glasgow

Posted in Pre-Wedding Shoots

After a spate of weddings, five in nine days to be precise, back on pre-wedding shoot duty today with Sarah & Martin. In Glasgow, down by the Clyde, SECC and all that, to be exact. I’ve always wanted to do a shoot here – just love all the buildings & bridges and stuff that can be used as backdrops – leaves you in no doubt exactly where you are. And, of course, there’s the Hydro, not finished yet, granted, but boy that’s going to be an impressive venue when completed.

Sarah & Martin are getting married in June and I’m really looking forward to shooting their big day. Like most couples, they were a touch apprehensive about the pre-wedding shoot, not really knowing what to expect, so thanks guys for going along with all my ideas and I hope you enjoyed the shoot.

Stirlingshire Wedding Photography:
Fiona & Andrew at Dunblane Hydro

Posted in Weddings

Weddings coming thick and fast at the moment and a double header this weekend. Off tomorrow to Balbernie House in Fife but today I’m slightly closer to home in and around Stirlingshire for Fiona & Andrew’s big day. The guys live in Hong Kong so we’ve only met just the once before when they initially booked with me last year. But that’s no problem – in fact, I have done a couple of weddings where I’ve never met the couple until the day itself – so, how do I recognise them you may ask; well, the wedding dress is often a bit of a giveaway :-) .

So, to today, and I kick off in Callander, and I think everything’s going to plan as I drive across with plenty of time to spare – oh how wrong can you be sometimes. Just about to head on to the main road into Callander and a police car spins abruptly right in front of me and block the road. Imagine my trepidation as the boys in blue step out of their car and start walking towards me – unpaid car tax? Bald tyres? Am I am fugitive on the run? Perhaps I’ve committed crimes against wedding photography! “Sorry sir, there’s been a bad accident up ahead and the road is closed”. My immediate relief was tempered by the need to seek out a new route, but I guess that’s what satnav’s were invented for right? I arrive about 15 mins later than planned and slightly less calm than I had been half an hour ago.
