Wedding & Portrait Photographer Edinburgh | Glasgow | Falkirk | Stirling – Mike Cook Photography

Dear blog, I’m very sorry that I’ve neglected you this week and haven’t added anything shiny and new for a while now! So, to put that right, and today guys, I’m delighted to share some shots that we took recently on a “Rock the Frock” shoot with Marie-Louise & Neil. So, I didn’t actually shoot the guys’ wedding day but that never gets in the way of a good old “Rock the Frock” shoot, as it’s open to anyone who wants to give it a shot. And, I would add as well that it can be as adventurous as you want it to be, or not, and that’s the beauty of these shoots, you do whatever you feel comfortable with.

So, the guys chose Aberdour over in Fife for the location. Always a favourite with me – I’ve been here a couple of times before both for a wedding and a pre-wedding shoot and it never fails to disappoint, whatever the weather which is just as well as it was a bit blustery. Anyway, here’s a few of my own favourite shots from the day which I hope you like. Marie-Louise & Neil, a big thank you for just “going along” with everything on the day and I hope you didn’t get too cold!

New wedding to post for you today guys and, I know I must be catching up on my blogging, when I tell you that it’s only from last month, middle of October to be precise and, that day, I was honoured to be shooting Siobhan & Jamie’s wedding day, kicking off at St. Mark’s Church in Rutherglen before moving on to the Crutherland House Hotel in East Kilbride. We’d not long before done the guys’ pre-wedding shoot in Glasgow, in fact, if memory serves me right (and trust me, these days I’m more often wrong than right ), it was only in August that Siobhan and Jamie first came to see me and ended up booking, so things have moved pretty quickly all round.

I kicked off as usual with a few shots of Siobhan and the girls pre-ceremony at her parents house before moving on to the church. I must give a big shout out to the priest at St. Mark’s for being very accommodating towards the photography, even suggesting ways in which I could move from one part of the church to the other unseen. I don’t often find this very much these days, especially with church ceremonies, where most of the time I’m banished to a small corner to do the best I can (and sometimes not allowed to photograph at all), so very refreshing to find a church that is very accommodating in this day and age .
