Blog Updates – or lack of them

As you know the blog has taken a bit of a dip recently despite me being even busier than usual. The reason is that I am having a new blog designed at the moment and the designer cant guarantee that all the blog postings will transfer over easily. So, to avoid having to type a load of blogs twice I am holding out at the moment for the new blog. I expect this to happen in 2-3 weeks

 



Thanks for your patience

Weddings in Gleneagles, Edinburgh Zoo, Forbes of Kingennie, Blair Castle, Dunkeld Cathedral and Huntingtower Hotel

My apologies for lack of posting here so far, a holiday and a whole load of commercial work has taken up every minute of my time.

 



Coming up very soon I have Weddings in all of the above places to blog about and I will do that just as soon as I can

Family portrait photographer in Perthshire

As the Weddings pile up waiting for processing I’ll blog another family portrait session. The Arthur family live in a beautiful home in rural perthshire, one of the nicest houses I have seen, the annoying thing is that it is currently up for sale. I’d have bought it in a flash had we not just moved last year. If anyone is interested I can email details!

Family Portrait Photographer – Perth, Scotland

Recently I had the absolute privilege of meeting and working with the Watkins family when I was asked to photograph them and their lovely little girl. These are just a tiny sample of the photographs we created in the couple of hours I was with them.

Wedding Photographer in Dunkeld, Jen and James

Jen and James wedding at Dunkeld Cathedral continued, Caroline worked her way through the group shots and I generally helped out finding people and shooting some random shots of people having fun, we then headed back to Blairgowrie where the celebrations carried on in the grounds of James family farm

Dunkeld Wedding Photographer, James and Jen, Dunkeld Cathedral

James is an old School friend of Carolines so he had asked her to photograph his Wedding to Jen, being free that day and knowing how hard a big wedding can be on your own I offered my services to Caroline as a second shooter. Having had Caroline as a second shooter for ages it was weird that the tables were turned.

James and Jen tied the knot in the beautiful Cathedral at Dunkeld, I am convinced that the architect designed that building with a Wedding Photographer in mind as the sun streams through those windows just about 2pm in Summer.

The sun was out, people were happy and I didn’t have to do the family groups – that was Carolines job, after all I was just the second shooter!

Wedding Photographer in St Andrews, Andrey and Susanna - St Salvators

Andrey and Susanna had identified a few locations round St Andrews that they wanted to go and get photographs taken at and with my local knowledge we were able to pick a good number of locations to visit. However, firstly we had a few family groups to photograph in the Quad.

Susanna looked stunning and the backlight from the doorway to the cathedral in St Andrews just makes this shot (in my opinion)

Sometimes as a Wedding Photographer it just comes together, this was one of those days and I am delighted with the photographs as are Andrey and Susanna, and lets be frank, thats all that really matters.

Once the service was over Susanna and Andrey spent a bit of time chatting to their guests in the Quad before we had to leave on a fast walk round St Andrews for a few pictures.

St Andrews Wedding Photographer, St Salvators, Andrey and Susanna

A Swedish Bride, A Russian Groom and a Wedding in St Andrews – a typical day out for a Wedding Photographer. Andrey and Susanna met at St Andrews University so where else to hold their traditional Scottish Wedding in Late July. They choose the Golf Hotel for their reception and the famous and beautiful St Salvators Chapel in the grounds of the University.

St Salvators is the choice for so many University students who meet at St Andrews, this beautiful example of late gothic architecture was founded in 1450. In 1582 Patrick Hamilton was burned at the stake for being a protestant, nothing quite as sinister happening this day.

Being based in London, Andrey and Susanna were organising their St Andrews Wedding from afar, they chose me as their Wedding Photographer as they liked my style, had seen my website and decided I was the guy for them. Thankfully we had the opportunity to meet up a couple of times in the run up to the big day.

As usual I started with Susanna and the Girls
