Vu Beauty!:
Last Wedding of the Year

Last wedding of the year for me today and what a way to go out! With Angela & Charles for their big day at The Vu and, honestly, the weather is simply atrocious – I can truthfully say that this is the worst that I’ve ever photographed in – I really feel sorry for the guys. Just look at the images below of guests crossing from Oasis to the Water Lily and you’ll get the gist – I probably don’t need to say any more. I know that we can’t always rely on the weather to play ball, but there’s usually some point in the day where it lets up enough to get outside…but not today. We even have to fore-go the usual iconic shots on the jetty as it’s so wet and windy it would be downright dangerous to step out onto it.

Weather matters aside though, there’s a real intimate feel to today’s proceedings. Some of the usual formalities of a wedding day, such as the speeches by the father of the bride and the groom, have been put to one side; and what really matters, which is the bride & groom celebrating and enjoying their day with family and friends, just shines through for all to see.

    Autumn Leaves:
    Angela & Charles’ Pre-Wedding Shoot in Callendar Park, Falkirk

    portrait photography in falkirk

    Early start today, but fairly local on the flip side, for the first of two pre-wedding shoots this weekend. Heading off to Brig o’ Doon tomorrow for Lee & Craig’s shoot, but today I’m just down the road from base camp in Callendar Park, Falkirk. Done a few pre-wedding shoots here before and it never disappoints – always seem to have been pretty lucky with the weather and today’s no exception – a bit chilly mind, but bright and sunny with it and that just looks great at this time of year – some great colourful backdrops to be found and flattering light with the sun low in the sky.
