1500 Photography

What a cracking couple Graeme and Nicola are. Really relaxed and laid back.

As usual we started off in Nicolas room getting some of the final preparation shots. With (oddly a first for me) a lovely shot of all the girls in their bath robes first! Then it was onto the ceremony before shooting the rest of the shots around the gardens of Houston House.

I think Nicola looked absolutely stunning and what a beautiful dress.

It is with some amusement I note that the ‘big tree’ in the grounds of  Houston House, a staple of all wedding photography there for goodness knows how long, has developed an alarming lean !! I have no idea what we are all going to do if the hotel take it away. I think a campaign should be launched now, just in case…….

Houston House Wedding photography by 1500

Julie and Grant are one of those couples that I just instantly clicked with, a really nice easy going couple with some good looks and an affable manner. We started at Julies parents house, before moving onto New Wellwynd Parish church in Airdrie before heading out to Houston House. Its been a number of years since I was at Houston House so the month before the wedding Julie, Grant, Gillian and I met up at the venue and had a walk about.

I am really glad we did as it meant I found a few, really cool spots to shoot in, and the couple got a good idea of where we could (and couldn’t) go for pictures. The day itself ran really well…..up to a point. Ally, the best man unfortunately had to stay behind at the church after the ceremony due to a car key mix up. This meant he was missing for a most of the key shots. Undeterred we got Gary, the usher, to stand in Allys spot in the group pictures and then photographed Ally when he arrived about 60 minutes later.

After a long time on the computer I came up with the result above – see what you think. Can you see the join ? Despite a little bit of a delay with the group pictures I am delighted with the shots of Grant and Julie, with the individual shots of Julie at the house being some of my favourites from this year…..and I haven’t even mentioned the champagne getting thrown about by Grants mum!!

Cheers & thank you both
