A really really nice couple. Gill and Chris are from the Hull area but had chosen to have their wedding at Lochside House in Ayrshire with just close friends and family (before having a major party back home). Plaudits have to go to Gill straight away for wearing the biggest dress I have seen this year.

She looked absolutely amazing in her ‘Hollywood Dreams’ style dress and boy did she carry it off.  It was also a refereshing change to have the groom in a morning suit (as oppse to a kilt).

Finally I got to pose a groom with his hands in his pockets !!!

As is usual with Ayrshire, the weather changed every 10 minutes but between wind, rain and shine we managed to escape outdoors for a little while and capture some simply stunning shots. The fast changing weather made for some fantastic sky’s as you can see from above.

Chris and Gill were just brilliant to photograph and  really enjoy themselves. Despite previous reservations Chris relaxed and we we got some cracking shots of him and the only way to sum up Gills pictures is ….WOW!!

As usual the staff at Lochside looked after everyone and made sure the day went smoothly, before the couple sat down to an intimate dinner and an evening casio!

Brilliant couple, lovely family, super venue and just a great day. Thanks Gill and Chris

The final wedding we shot in 2008 and what a smashing day it was too.

Things could have got off to a smoother start right enough….. both bride and groom committed the cardinal sin of arriving late at Park Circus. As you can see the only ‘before’ shots of the bride and groom are slightly rushed !! After the ceremony however the rest of the day was excellent with the wedding party heading to One Devonshire Gardens for the reception. I have to say I am always impressed with the service and attention you get from this venue – simply outstanding. Less outstanding was the photographers request to get everyone outside for a mass group photo – this went down like a lead balloon as everyone knew how cold it was. But fair play to the guests, they all made the effort to get the shot for Bryan and Morven.

..

All in all with the excellent venue, great crowd of people and just a lovely couple – it was the ideal way to top off 2008 for 1500 Photography !!

I haven’t really covered Lee-Ann and Kierans wedding in the blog as it took place towards the end of the year. We started off at Our Lady of Lourdes we then travelled up to Glenskirlie Castle for the reception. When we got to Glenskirlie the light began to fade fast but as we took a couple of shots on the ‘love seat’ at the back of the gardens Gillian spotted the dramatic skyline where the sun had just set. The slope up the little hill side was soft and muddy but Lee-Ann was very keen to get this shot. So we managed to negotiate a path for Lee-Ann and Kieran to make their way and as you can see from the result below we were rewarded with a stunning image (our shot of the year)

Since you have already seen some of the best images from the wedding I thought I would post a couple of ‘different’ shots that I really like. Shot 1 I love how the little boy is rocking back on his heels at being introduced to the flower girl, shot 2 was leaving the church after a quick photo session on the alter and the geusts bus had just pulled away and shots no3 and 4 were taken about 1 second apart – its just to let you see the guest ‘paparazzi’

...

You will see more of Lee-Ann and Kierans wedding soon as I have taken a shot from their wedding to be used as our advert in the Real Life Weddings magazine. Its a bit different so watch this space for an update.
