Its weddings like Simon and Natalie’s that remind you why you love your job so much in the first place. With their kids Ewen and Erin and both of their Dads in attendance, Simon and Natalie got married on the Celtic Warrior on Loch Lomond. This very small wedding party lead to a wonderfully warm and memorable day, The civil ceremony took place on the boat before we headed back to Cameron House for pictures and The Boat House for dinner.

There were so many lovely little moments on the day including Ewen being quickly promoted to assistant captain and steering us home, the captain, quite literally, moving the mountains (turning the boat) for my pictures and of course two cracking older gents with a very dry sense of humour. Most of all though the day will be remembered for the brilliant couple we met, Simon and Natalie. They were an absolute pleasure to shoot on the day and I look forward to meeting up with them both again soon.

It was with great excitement Gillian and I made the trek to Newcastle for this years MPA National Awards which incorporated the Kodak Awards. I am sorry to report that we didn’t win. The winner was Ken Lam from Newcastle who won the ‘wedding photographer of the year’ with a lovely shot taken at a pre-wedding portrait shoot in Paris. I am sure Ken’s bride to be is delighted and looking forward to getting her wedding shots taken soon.

Although a little downhearted we are still very proud to get two images into the final 10 of a national competition.

The awards ceremony was a fairly lengthy process so when the lovely Ms Price and myself finally managed to get a picture of the two of us together it was almost midnight (and that’s why I look so ‘tired’ in the shot. Honest.)

Ah well, it gives us something to aim for next year.
