For my 25th wedding of the year, I found myself at a new place, which I don’t get too often these days…a sure sign that you’ve been around for a while :-). Balmule House, just outside Dunfermline, was that very venue and delighted to be there I was too for Gayle & Andrew’s big day. In actual fact, the wedding was originally to be at a venue where I had indeed shot many times, Solsgirth House but, due to the sudden closer of that venue, the guys had to seek out an alternative.

I guess the one thing that couples always hope for come their big day is some glorious sunny weather, especially in the summer months. But, as any photographer will tell you, bright sunshine can be one of the most challenging conditions to shoot in…sometimes worse even (and this may come as a surprise) than rain! From recollection, this very wedding was probably one of the hottest, blue sky, cloudless days that we had all year and given these conditions, you’ll often find me running for the shade in order to avoid the obvious squinting into the sun and the “panda eye” look common with the sun high in the sky casting shadows across the eyes!
