Edna and Dave's wedding

Last wedding of the year and what a lovely one to finish with! And the first time I have done getting ready with the bride through to post-dinner speeches all within 4 hours!

Edna of Georgia USA and Dave of Dalgety Bay, Fife were married at the Woodside Hotel in Aberdour with friends and family come from all over the UK and the States. Edna's wee boy Francisco looked very dapper in his black kilt to match Dave and Edna looked wonderfully classic and elegant in her gold dress and veil.

Best of luck living in the States Dave; I am sure you will have a fab time.





Have a great New Year eeryone; I am so excited to be photographing so many weddings and portraits in 2007!

"Breathless" takes your breath away!

Want something HOT for your Valentine?

"Breathless" sessions are HOT HOT HOT at NMP!

Want to give your husband-to-be with a wedding day present with a difference, or your long standing love a Valentines Day pressie to remember? "Breathless" sessions are glamorous female photographic sessions by a female photographer, but without the Page 3 glamour! Private personal photos for you and your husband to enjoy for years to come, "Breathless" sessions are done at the compact studio of NMP in Dalgety Bay.


The session can last up to an hour, with as many changes as you prefer. You can also provide props or use the ones at the studio. Previous personal props have included a football scarf, wedding veil and tiara, hubby's war medals, even a motorbike! (Use of motorbikes require the use of your own garage!!)







"Breathless" sessions have become very popular with Scottish lassies for several years now, some coming over 60 miles for their session! The work produced from each and every girl has been stunning, but very personal and private. The following pictures are produced publically on this blog by the girls photographed, as they gave me their kind permission to use them here. Normally "Breathless" sessions are private and not available for viewing without permission, so please do not worry about your photos being plastered over the WWW!

So what happens with a "Breathless" sesssion?

Well, when you book a session, all you normally choose is what kind of viewing you want; studio, private online or CD slideshow. All sessions include up to an hour of photography and your choice of viewing the finished results.

A session plus Studio viewing normally costs £60.
A session plus Online private password-protected viewing for 1 month normally costs £80.
A session plus your own personal CD, with all your photos set to music as a slideshow, PLUS all your photos as low resolution copyrighted images for web, email and viewing purposes for £140.
At your viewing, you can choose individual prints starting at £10, or a beautiful Italian hand-made leather album containing 15 of your favourite photos for £150.

BUT........

For January, Nikki McLeod Photography gives you the opportunity to partake in a "Breathless" session for a great reduced fee.

Sen and Michelle with Fides

In September I had the amazing opportunity to go to the wonderful country of Switzerland, and visit and work with the lovely Fides Scheifele Fierz of Weddings In Style. Fides and I have"spoken" a lot over the 'water-cooler' of DWF, a professional wedding photographers forum. And we always said to each other, that we should go and shoot with each other.

Fides let me know that she was in need of a second shooter for a wedding in September on Lake Geneva, and it was the same weekend as a totally cookin' wedding in Lausanne so I could second shoot at that one too.

Talk about ROCKING!! I had a ball! Fides and her husband and her daughter are just wonderful people and the weddings were just an unbelieveable experience.

The Lake Geneva wedding hasnt been blogged yet by Fides on her own blog so I better not put any of those images online just yet, but lets just say, I have NEVER been to a wedding where the drinks reception was held on a paddle steamer on a lake; the weather made the scenery so amazing.

The second wedding was Sen and Michelle's big day in a luxurious 5 star hotel in Lausanne, infact the hotel has been named Best Swiss Hotel! It certainly lived up to it's title, it was beuuuuuutiful!! And Sen and Michelle were the most loveiest, sweetest and good-looking couple I have ever met. They were so easy to work with, and so ameniable to getting loads of photos done. Fides and I got so many great shots from their wedding, even though the weather wasnt good to us, it didnt matter!

Here are some shots I took on the day

Thank you Sen and Michelle for allowing me to shoot at your wedding, I hope you love the shots!

More pictures can be viewed on Fides' own blog

I would like to thank Fides for giving me this amazing opportunity, not only to shoot with her and get some amazing shots in the bag, but also for allowing me into her home, and showing me her beautiful country. Kisses to Nerissa!

NMP in the press!

It's the first time I have splashed out on a full page advert in one of the glossies, but this time I decided to bite the bullet and go for it!

So look out for Jill and Craig featured in the Best Scottish Weddings magazine, out now!

NMP was also featured in the local Dalgety Bay Diary, when the work I did for the "Multiplay" group. "Multiplay in the Bay" is a group formed by local mums of twins, triplets and more! There was a deluge of multiples in the Bay in 2004 and this group was formed in order for the parents to get together and give support to each other. For the past 2 years I have been asked to photograph the sets of twins for a fundraising calender for the group and it has probably been my most challenging of photographic jobs! This year was the theme of "Noah's Ark"!
If you want to buy a calender, contact Simone on simone@simodean.freeserve.co.uk

Gail and Derek's "Bliss" session

Today, the weather from the inside looked lovely. But boy, when you got out there, it was bleedin' freezing!! None detered, Derek and Gail and I spent a great half hour at the Dalgety Bay Sailing Club for a "Bliss" session.

With my Ultimate packages, you can choose to have a pre-wedding ("Bling") session, or a post wedding ("Bliss") session. Gail and Derek chose to have a "Bliss" session on the same day as the viewing of their wedding photos.

Gail and Derek's wedding photos are now online
