We started the day at Christines parents house before making our way to the New Kilpatrick Parish church in Bearsden.  Andrew and Christine had come ‘home’ from Autralia for their wedding and had made all their arrangements via late night phone calls and email.  With Christines mum helping the organisation though, everything went as smoothly as possible.

As usual Cameron House provided a stunning backdrop and great service on the day.

A really lovely couple, who were an absolute delight to photograph. A perfect wedding.

We started off with Kate at Cameron House just as she was putting her finishing touches together, before catching some shots of the lads at Luss Church. After the typically excellent service at Luss we took Kate and Paul on a short walk down to the jetty before heading onto Luss Peir. As usual Luss Peir was absolutley mobbed which would not have looked so good for the pictures, but for photoshop………………….

We then headed back to Cameron House for our bridal party shots. Kate and Paul were a lovely couple and they had a really nice bunch of guests at the wedding including Dale, the best man, who somehow or other managed to get, sort of run, over by the wedding car (nothing serious, just a tyre mark left on his sock….) It was only after the wedding that I discovered than Paul was quite and accomplished photographer himself. He has even had one of his wedding feature in Hello ! Apparently he was under instruction from Kate not to let me know….and to be honest I think I am glad I didn’t know.

The fact that Paul and Kate are delighted with their pictures and even chose me in the first place given Pauls credentials is a huge compliment. Thank you both for choosing 1500 Photography

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.

The day started off relatively calm with the groom, Sat being escorted to church by a piper and drummer along the Main St to Cardross Parish Church. Dressed in brown kilts the entire wedding party looked superb making their way to the wedding. We then headed up to the bride and got some shots of Lynda getting ready too.  After the ceremony the couple mingled with the guests for a few minutes before leaving the church with a traditional ‘scramble‘. Then the clouds moved in and this was the scene that greeted us at Cameron House…..

It was torrential !! Fortunately the couple got escorted from the car to the entrance by the excellent Cameron House staff, the poor photographer on the other hand………..

Once we dried off a little and everyone got their breath back we took a tour of the interior of Cameron House and came up with some new and really nice pictures. As we usually have such a stunning vista to play with we dont use the inside of Cameron House as much as we should, however on this day, as there was no vista, we knew it was all going to be indoor shots.

However, being 1500 Photography we werent satisfied with stunning indoor shots.

I mean, come on – it is Cameron House, it is pretty much on our doorstep and it does have ‘that’ vista…… so we popped up again in the evening and took Lynda and Sat out onto the jetty. As you can see 4/5 hours after the deluge it was a beautiful evening and the perfect way to round off the pictures of the day.

Congratulations to Lynda and Satwant a lovely couple who were an absolute joy to photograph. Their great humour and supportive family made what could have been a traumatic day a pleasure from start to finish…….even with a soaking !!

After the civil ceremony the couple mingled with their guests before heading outside for some pictures around Cameron House……then went back inside and mingled with their guests, then nipped back outside for their groups shots. All lovely and relaxed, all calm and easy, with no rushing about or urgency. A wonderful, leisurely day with some beautiful shots, great company and a lovely couple.

As a professional you are never supposed to have favourites……….but I would shoot this wedding again tomorrow, I loved it !!! Thank you Julie and Kevin x

Iain and Aine had an absolutely stunning day for their wedding, as oppose to J&J’s downpour

It was a superb day with two large families mingling in the sun, posing for pictures and generally having a great time.

As you can see from above Aine had a little trouble getting Iain’s ring on his finger !! But that was the only mishap on the day. We even managed a full group of everyone at the church and got some cracking shots at the Loch side (despite the attention of the geese, again) A smashing couple who sadly, stay down south. My very best wishes to you both. In fact there is only one way to some up this couple (……..right Iain?)

Legendery

In a nice little coincidence I didn’t know that I was being watched at this wedding by my next bride and groom……… I’ll post Julie and Kevin’s wedding soon.

However Elsie and Toms wedding was completely different in every other respect. We started off at Elsies parents (stunning) house on the banks of the Loch Long, before making our way to the lovely church in Garelochhead. Elsie’s father drove her to the church in his own beautifully restored Triumph TR2 and then, after the ceremony, handed the keys over to Tom who then drove the classic car and his new bride to Cameron House (no pressure there then!)

Elspeth and Toms mischievious sense of fun really shows through their shots and made the day an absolute pleasure to be part of. Congratulations to you both.

Andy and Elspeth tied the knot at Luss Church before receiving their guests at Cameron House. We managed to catch up with the couple at Cameron House as they were getting ready before they headed for the church. As you can see Andy made his way to the church by speedboat. You may also notice Andy is painfully shy……..

Elspeth on the other hand looked absolutely gorgeous with a very stylish dress and (warm) stole.

With two lovely families and a great sense of fun throughout the day we managed to capture some brilliant shots, the perfect way to launch the 2009 campaign. Complete with a belting first waltz, you could say I had ‘the time of my life’ at their wedding.

One of the main factors in these guys choosing Cameron House for their venue, was the stunning scenery. And who could blame them? The Loch, The Ben, the greenery stretching out across one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland …… and (unfortunately) all hidden under blanket of rain on the day!

Thankfully, not only is Cameron House a great venue, regardless of the weather, but I also had two of the most affable people I have ever met in my life to photograph. Both Jacqueline and Jonathan were calm, gracious and in great spirits all day.  (In the shot below the rain was bouncing so hard off the water, a mist cloud started to rise)

It was also great to see the wedding officiated by Ian Miller, surely Scotlands most popular (and prolific?) minister. Ian was the minister at the very first wedding I shot, on a small boat, in the shallows, on Loch Lomond way back in 1990. That was a very small wedding too, and one which I remember with great fondness.
I bet I will still remember Stuart and Irene’s wedding in 18 years time too…….
