During June & July 2016 we are giving a free album upgrade to our 14" x 11" Storybook Album with all bookings made for our Ultimate combined Photo/Video/Storybook package!

We couldn't have picked a better day for it as we had some nice spring sunshine. We shot some lovely family pics of them all and also did some couple and individual photos of Louise & Andrew to give them a feel for what it will be like on their wedding day - which won't be long now! :)

Some photos from Louise & Andrew's photo shoot.......

I was in Glasgow's botanic gardens last week doing some pre wedding photos for Cheryl & Garry. The plan was to take them all inside but as it was reasonably mild we headed out in to the park. A pre wedding photo shoot is great preparation for your wedding day as it lets me see how you are in front of the camera and also lets you see me at work.......oh and they are great fun too! :)

Here area few pics from Cheryl & Garry's shoot...

Nowadays a lot of our clients want the flexibility of having their photos as high resolution digital files for their own use, for many this may be because they want to design their own album. This is why we have always offered high resolution images on disk (and now on USB too).  Now, new for 2016, we offer a wide range of wedding albums and storybooks from one of the UK's top album manufacturers (voted best photographic lab in 2015). Our range of albums include storybooks with a choice of covers including Photographic, Acrylic, Nubuck or Suede leather. They come in a range of sizes and page options.

If you are not a fan of storybook albums and prefer the more traditional look, why not check out our new Matted Overlay albums. These books are the ultimate in luxury and quality.

Full details of all our albums and books can be found on our Albums page.

Here is an example of a storybook album page layout. This is a 30 page book (15 2-page spreads) and holds approx. 65 photos.
 

Although I don't manage to get out much these days to do landscape photography, I love it when I do. The image below was shot on a recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales. After a very early start we were on the landscape pavements above Malham in the Dales for sunrise. There as a bit more cloud than I wanted, but felt it suited monochrome images.
 

Limestone Pavement, Malham.
 

I've photographed a few pre wedding shoots this year and the latest one was in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow yesterday. I was there with Jillian & Chris who are being married in April at Airth Castle - one of my favourite wedding venues! :)

Here some photos from Jillian & Chris' pre wedding shoot.

Here are a couple of examples of my photos from the trip...

We are also delighted to announce details of our new reportage/photo-journalism photography option. Details below:

Reportage photography also known as documentary or photo-journalism photography is all about story telling. It is not simply candid photography, it's about documenting the greatest day in a couples lives, capturing the moments, the humour, the tears and the laughter. It's not about posing or taking time away from your guests. It's not about creating or posing the perfect picture, it's about capturing the truth and realism of the actual moment. Reportage photos may not be flawless but they are perfect at capturing the atmosphere and raw emotion of a wedding day! For us, it's about standing back and letting things happen naturally. We do realise that some couples will want some posed photos together and that a few group shots may also be needed, but to keep the photography to a more documentary style we limit these to 15 minutes with the bride & groom for a few photos together and a maximum of four group shots.

So if you don't like posing for photos and want to spend the whole day with your guests this is the package for you. Like many photographers, we love black & white photos, we also feel that black & white works great for photo-journalism. Although you can have your photos in colour, we will give you a discount if you decide to have them all 100% black & white. Check out the slide show above to see some of our black & white reportage work.

Package Includes:

• Two photographers
• Coverage from bride/groom prep to end of 4th dance
• Disc/USB of approx. 400 high resolution digital photos with print licence
• Online album
• Handcrafted Show Box with 15 lustre Black & White Matted Prints.

Here are a few photos from Laura & Angus' shoot.....
