Wedding Photography at Oran Mor
Siobhan & Eoin’s Wedding Album

Great to be sharing yet another album design with you today (yes, it’s been a busy time for our DHL delivery guy with all these albums coming and going), and, this one I’m particularly keen to share with you as it features one of the first time’s that I’ve used the lab’s new enoblement programme…but more of that later.

Siobhan and Eoin were married last August with the ceremony taking place at the impressive University of Glasgow chapel, followed by the short hop to one of my favourite venues, Oran Mor.

For their album, the guys opted for one of Graphistudio’s “Original Wedding Books” with 60 pages and opted for the greenish blue cloud leather cover with the die cut picture insert. For the design box, we took advantage of the aforementioned “enoblement” programme, and recreated the design used on the table names and other “bits & bobs”, that had all been created by Siobhan’s sister, Roisin. This all makes your album totally unique and carries on the theme and style of your wedding day :-)…how fabulous!

    Wedding Photography at Oran Mor, Glasgow | Siobhan & Eoin

    My 30th wedding of the year was part two of a wedding “double header” weekend and took me back to a couple of “old haunts” (if that’s the right word to use)…namely the University of Glasgow chapel for the ceremony and then onto Oran Mor for the reception – the reason…Siobhan & Eoin’s wedding day :-).

    Now, I love my Canon 70-200mm lens – yep, that’s the big white one that gets in really close even when shooting from a distance. And boy do you need it in the chapel at Glasgow Uni, as they have a ruling where us photographers are consigned to a seat half way back down the chapel, although if you have a videographer (as the guys did) you’re in luck, as oddly they are allowed the shoot from up front. So guys, anyone reading this, if you’re getting married here in the future, do check that your photographer is well equiped for the job.

    So here’s the thing, and unexpected as it was, the rain that hadn’t stopped at the previoius days wedding and also on the morning of Siobhan & Eoin’s big day, suddenly…stopped! And, even gave way to some sunshine, just in time for the shots in and around the cloisters, which I love so much…happy days!

      Wedding Photography at Seamill Hydro | Moira & Vinny

      Back at the start of June, I set out for  what was to be the first of three visits to Seamill Hydro in as many months, and what a stunning location it is :-). The reason…Moira & Vinny’s wedding day. But, to kick things off, and with no bridal prep shots for me this time around, it was down to the University of Glasgow chapel first up for the ceremony before the drive west to Seamill.

      At this time of year, with daylight hours continuing through to long after I’ve finished for the day, I never have an issue with doing the bride & groom photo-shoot after the wedding breakfast and, let’s just say, this time around it played in our favour. Post dinner, long gone were the grey skies under which we had shot all the family and wedding party groups, to be replaced by some glorious early evening sun…perfect for those shots down on the beach…and some balloons…as you do :-).

      Glasgow Portrait Photography:
      Kerrie Ann & Garry’s Pre-Wedding Shoot at the University of Glasgow

      Second shoot in as many days today, and this time I’m back in the University of Glasgow grounds for Kerrie Ann & Garry’s pre-wedding shoot. The guys live in Dubai so, until today, we’d never actually met, so it was great to finally catch up and talk more about their forthcoming wedding day at Hamilton racecourse, and,...

        Glasgow Wedding Photography:
        Laura & Ian at the University of Glasgow

        End of a really busy week and my third wedding in the last six days and, believe it or not, the glorious weather just keeps on coming. Today I’m with Laura & Ian for their wedding at the University of Glasgow followed up with their reception at the fabulous Oran Mor. It wasn’t that long ago that we did their pre-wedding shoot and, if memory serves me correctly, it was a bit misty and murky that day, so today’s weather is most welcome.
