Wedding Photography at the National Mining Museum | Stacy & Murray

It’s not often these days that I get to work at new venues…having been doing this thing called wedding photography for quite a few years now, usually, it’s back to the same places more often than not. So, for Stacy & Murray’s big day, was great to get to (if you include the bridal prep) four new locations all in the one day – Newbattle Abbey College for the reception (after the bridal prep), The Sun Inn in Dalkeith for the wedding breakfast and, finally, the National Mining Museum for the evening reception…never let it be said that I don’t get around :-).

One question that I get asked from time to time, mainly from brides (but also grooms), is how they as a couple can get the best from their wedding photography on the day and my answer is the same every time – it’s not about learning the best poses, how to smile without looking cheesy or anything else like that for that matter – my answer…”enjoy yourself and have a bloody good time”!!! Nothing makes your wedding pictures “sing” than if you are having an absolute blast…and that was very much the case with Stacy & Murray’s day…you can just tell from the pictures!

Pre-Wedding Shoot in the Dean Village | Stacy & Murray

I seem to have pre-wedding shoots coming out of my ear at the moment…not literally of course, but you know what I mean :-). That time of the year…busy wedding season now in full swing and a lot of pre-wedding shoots to go along with them. I’m a big fan of pre-wedding shoots – just gets everyone used to being in front of the camera for a bit and seeing how I work…which I hope is a good thing! In turn, I get a good feel for the type of the shots that the guys like, which is a win-win come the wedding day.

Stacy & Murray are getting married in just a few weeks time and it was great to get down to the Dean Village again for the shoot…love it here…totally hidden away in the heart of Edinburgh with lots of quirky places for shots.
