For my 28th wedding of the year, I was out and about at a new venue for me, Boclair House just outside Glasgow. I love shooting at new places…I know there is a theory sometimes that couples will choose a photographer who is familiar with a venue and sure, there is some merit in that but there’s also, I think, a downside as well in that being so familiar with a venue means that just do the same thing every time, just with different couples.

Shooting at a new venue brings with it a new perspective on things, perhaps doing things that haven’t been done before and therefore often you’re getting shots that are unique. Of course, any good photographer will have done a recce at a new venue, just to familiarise themselves with the new surroundings, and I’m no different in that respect…it’s just good preparations.
