What a Baaad couple of weeks!

I have really neglected this blog, personal life has been pretty crapola recently; more details about that later!
Kelli and Ewan popped into the studio before returning home to the US. I felt so sorry for them, they had both fallen ill the day after their fabulous wedding at Dalhousie! Their trip to the Highlands wasn't enjoyed as much as it could be. I hoped the wedding photographs cheered them up. I loved shooting this wedding; it was so classy, Kelli was so elegant and so modern and yet so simple. Just shows that you don't need tons of sparkle and jazz for elegance.
This is my favourite photo of Kelli; shows her beautiful curves and the elegant back of the dress (Only got low res copyrighted files on this computer sorry!)

Kelli and Ewan were such a lovely couple and it clearly showed in their photos; I hope they both returned safely to the United States, for a happy (and sickness-free!) start to married life.



I have been working on Susan and Iain's wedding album; they loved their photos so much, they bought them all for their album!! I just ADORED their daughter Erin; she is just a little older than my son Jack but just as cute; infact they would love stunning together! Erin so stole the show; and thanks to Susan and Iain, I am now booked to photograph the bridesmaid Gillian's wedding in Arran in 2008!!

Talking of bookings, I got my first booking for 2007 this month too! Leanne and Allan came to see me a few weeks ago about their Dunfermline wedding in May 2007, and booked me on the spot!


I am always amazed at these couples who are so organised with their weddings; I never expect to get 2007 wedding bookings this early, let alone 2008! I know when Graham and I were planning our wedding, we took just over a year to plan everything. Any time longer and I think we would have been divorced before we were married!



I have been busy with baby sessions recently; I had the followup to the Bump session end of last year of the V family; the bump developed into a gorgeous little girl! As stunning as her mother, and as cute as her older brother! I also had Jacob come to the studio for a session, what a cutie! Both familes will be receiving their CDs for viewing this week, I shall post a teaser from each after that.


Today I met up with David and Jacqueline who are getting married in 3 weeks time at Kilconquhar Castle. All the paperwork was gone over, timings checked, monies paid. All exciting, the buildup to a wedding and I know that David and Jacqui will have a stunning wedding.



Plans have been set for me to be accompanied by a second shooter if need be for David and Jacqui's wedding, thanks to the news I got recently that the results of an MRI scan on my legs showed the possibility of a tumour............................ Surgery this Thursday and therefore I shall be resting after that, so no portrait sessions and I hope to be fit enough for David and Jacqui's wedding on my own. If not, I know I have the backup of many photographers throughout the UK who have kindly offered to help. What a great profession to be in, where your competitors can help you in heartbeat..........
