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.

Fife Wedding Photography:
Alana and Scott at Balbirnie House

Posted in Weddings

So guys, last of my five weddings in nine days and, curiously, the second wedding in three days where I’m a guest as well as the photographer. Today with Alana & Scott at the very beautiful Balbirnie House and, wouldn’t you know it, it’s a bit on the chilly side once again. What on earth is happening with the weather at the moment – we really should be at the point by now where we’re not getting goosebumps each time we step outside. Funnily enough, Alana & Scott’s pre-wedding shoot will always stick in my mind as well, as it was by far the coldest shoot I’ve ever done, and will probably remain so for some time, unless I get a destination wedding in Russia in winter anytime soon :-) .

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.

Falkirk Wedding Photography:
Lesley & Mark at Glenbervie House

Posted in Weddings

Back at Glenbervie today for the second time in four days – honestly, wedding venues are like buses sometimes; nothing for ages and then two come along together! Not that I’m complaining though, as I love shooting at Glenbervie and, here’s the thing, it’s only five minutes up the road from me, so Match of the Day is a distinct possibility. But not today though…firstly because, well, it’s a Thursday and also, more importantly, I have the honour of being a guest at the wedding as well.

Lesley & Mark are friends of ours and I was delighted when they asked if I would photograph their big day. And, being a guest meant, for once, that I was able to sit down at the reception and enjoy the meal, rather than bringing the usual sandwiches and a bag of crisps :-) . And the great thing about today is that we’ve finally got some half decent weather – slightly chilly but the sun is shining and, believe me, I haven’t been able to use that line very much this year in my blog posts!

Falkirk Wedding Photography:
Shonagh & Andrew at Glenbervie House

Posted in Weddings

Busy times at “Chez Cook” Photography – not sure if that phrase even makes sense but he who dares and all that! Second of five weddings in the space of nine days – gotta love numbers. The eagle eyed among you are probably wondering where the first of the five weddings went to; well, that was a couple of days ago but the bride & groom preferred that I didn’t blog their images, and I respect that of course.

So, here we are at Glenbervie House, my local venue, literally. And, wouldn’t you know it, I’m here again in four days time. Anyway, enough of all these numbers; today I’m with Shonagh and Andrew for their big day and, very much like their pre-wedding shoot a few weeks back, it’s very chilly – “can I remove goosebumps in Photoshop” someone said while we were doing the group shots :-) . But, a little chill isn’t going to spoil anything today and everyone seems to be having a great time.
