No Distance Too Far:
A Very Joyous Wedding at Airth Castle

First wedding of the year for me and it’s freezing…brrrr! I’m even sporting a jumper for the first time in what seems like ages. Could do the sensible thing and wear a coat I guess but that just feels so restrictive, especially when I go into “crazy photographer” mode and start lying on floors and the like.

With Nikki & Josh today, kicking off with their ceremony at Cathcart Trinity Church before hotfooting it up to Airth Castle for their reception. Been to Airth Castle a few times before but Cathcart Trinity is a new venue for me. Naturally, I’ve been at quite a few church ceremonies in the past but I can honestly say that today was one of the most upbeat and joyous I’ve ever attended, complete with a cracking band and choral singers. Rather stupidly, I positioned myself next to the band to kick off with and was rudely shaken to the core as soon as the drums kicked in…swiftly I moved to the other side of the room :-).

Glasgow Portrait Photography:
Nikki & Josh’s Pre-Wedding Shoot at Linn Park

Last but one of my eight shoots this month and today I’m on pre-wedding duty with Nikki and Josh who are getting married in January and I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding up at Airth Castle, a venue I know really well as I’m holding all my meetings with new couples there at the moment while my new studio is being built. Sadly, the same cannot be said of Linn Park, having not been here before, I madly relied on sat nav to guide me in – of course, sat nav doesn’t know where roadworks have been put in place so blindly leads you down a dead-end! Twenty minutes later I finally arrive via a round about route that took me miles away from the park before heading back in on the other side – I love technology, but boy it does make you lazy sometimes. Thanks guys for hanging around for me – hope the wait was worthwhile.
