1500 Photography

The dress for the wedding listed below was supplied by Peaches Bridal, in Killearn. I have been very impressed with the service and attention that Amanda got from Tracey at Peaches, not to mention the quality of the work.
If you are still hunting for your dress may I suggest a trip to the countryside to see someone who not only cares what you are wearing but also cares how you wear it.

This was a very special wedding for me.

Amanda, Paul and I hit it off right from the start. They were among the first people to book me and put their faith in 1500 Photography. Amanda had some brilliant ideas for how her wedding was going to look and feel, different to most weddings with an ‘Urban Chic’ vibe. We were going to start off at the house first, then onto Park Circus for the ceremony, Botanic Gardens for pictures and then The Universal in Sauchiehall Lane, for the reception.

I have been trying to write this blog entry for a while now, but I keep getting caught up in superlatives and mush when I talk about these guys. So I thought instead of me trying to put into words how great this day was for me - I would post Amandas perspective on her wedding pictures.

Paul and I are so lucky, we have the most glorious, unique and beautifully shot photographs of our special day, add to that two new treasured friends in Stuart and Gillian. From our first appointment we knew instantly that we could put our hopes and trust in Stuart and his creative ideas were just sublime.

His direction gave Paul and I endless confidence, his repoire with our guests was so wonderful, with everyone at great ease and big smiles. His interpersonal skills and friendly while responsive nature was fantastic, even when coordinating our party in their high spirits. (Yes champagne was involved!)

We especially enjoyed the picture that arrived as a screensaver on our phones to the next day, that we showed off with pride, while on honeymoon.

I can’t thank you enough, for the fantastic memories you have helped make for my husband and I. With great warmth, respect and gratitude always, Amanda.

Not bad, eh ? I have never had such a wonderful thank you in all my life. This was wedding where I felt a real part of the day rather than an observer. To be caught up emotionally in their wedding was a very special exprience and perhaps that shows in the pictures too. I am immensely proud of these shots and am delighted to now have two great friends in Paul and Amanda.

A terrific couple who are just the best. Thanks Guys

The origonal post here disappeared, mysteriously…… so  here it is again.

We had a great day with Alix and Dave at the Barony Hall in Glasgow. After catching both parties getting ready at the Millenium Hotel, it was on to the stunning setting of the Barony. Alix looked absolutely beautiful, the hall looked amazing and David looked great in his morning suit (a very refreshing change for a Scottish groom)

There was a real connection the day, and I think it shows in the pictures. I am hughly grateful to Dave and Alix, not only for choosing me, but for all the effort they put into getting the pictures and their enthusiasm for the photography too. Thank you both.

*UPDATE* Every year I advertise in the Real Life Weddings magazine.I make up about 4/5 dummy adverts then show them to prospective bride and grooms, take votes and print the favourite. Dave and Alix’s advert was by far the favourite from this years selection.

I always knew Alix would be a stunning bride, but who knew Dave would be model material too !!

Well this was my first visit to Western House and it was a very memorable day, for two reasons.

One - Nicola and Paul, a great couple

Two - Jane, the wedding co-ordinator at Western House. I used to work with Jane a lot when she was at Brig O’Doon but I havent seen her for many years. It was lovely to see her again and to see that she is still as enthusiastic with her weddings as ever.

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this day. Nicola and Paul made my life very easy on the day and were superb to work with (as were all the bridal party). We got some terrific shots in and around the grounds of the hotel despite the very changeable weather, thanks to Nicola and Paul and their willingness to get the shots.

I look forward to returning to Western House next year but I will always look back to this wedding with great fondness mostly due to a brilliant couple.

Josephine and John recently had their wedding at St Andrews in the Square. A cracking venue for a cracking couple. These guys were amongst the first couples to book 1500 Photography and we hit it off right from the get go. I have never laughed so much at a pre wedding meeting than with these two and the laughter carried through onto the day and into the pictures.

Im really proud of the pictures that John and Josephine helped me achieve. As you can see we stayed on a little later and got an brilliant shot of St Andrews in the Square floodlit (eventually ! - the sun refused to go down !!!) Thank you both for being such good sports.

Ah ! Back to lovely Luss again. And in the sunshine too ! A beautiful day with a great couple. We took most of our pictures in and around Luss with a whole set on the pier. I love the shots of them at the shop !!

We finished the day at The Cruin Hotel just further up the Loch.

Paul and Sally’s wedding at Barony Castle was the only wedding this year where the ceremony took place outside. A glorious day in Peebles was enjoyed by everyone as the two music teachers tied the knot in one the most picturesque parts of Scotland.

After the ceremony we took a quick tour of the grounds and found a field with a stunning vista. Unfortunately the field was closed off with a rather large padlocked gate……… but that wasnt going to stop Sally from getting the pictures she wanted. She was up and over the fence in no time and the couple were rewarded with this stunning picture

The perfect reminder of a perfect day - well done guys

As you can see from the previous post, Loretta got some stunning results. However I thought it would be fun to put up some shots taken of me as I set up their pictures 

And with this set here you can see me directing, shooting and “chimping” ***

To see more shots from this wedding have a look here

** Chimping - (The phrase is most likely derived from comparison between the sounds and actions some photographers make while reviewing images and those of an excited primate (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!), or when a photographer is absorbed in the act of analysing, admiring or proudly displaying a shot to others.)
