14th July Newcastle

Gosh, nice to be popular!!

A bride-to-be on one of the wedding forums asked if I would come back down to Newcastle for another Marathon, as she would love to give a "Breathless" album to her hubby-to-be at their wedding in August; another B2B added her name to the list and if I can get another one down on the list, looks like I shall be going back for Newcastle Marathon number 3!!

So, again if there is anyone interested in a "Breathless" session (or a Bump session, or I could even do a Bloodline family or couples session, esp if the weather is good we could go and get piccies down at the Millenium Bridge!) please contact me on nmcleodphoto@aol.com

19th July London, 2nd August Ayrshire

Those 2 dates are the most current "away" dates!!

What I mean is, I am going to be away from home, and in these areas on these dates and am open for portrait sessions of any kind on these dates.

Bloodline, Breathless, Bump or Baby; if you are interested, give me a shout on

"Thank you"

"Dear Nikki

Many thanks, the photos are wonderful and well admired by all who have seen them. Your professional happy presence put us at ease and was a tribute to you on the day and after Jen and Jon's wedding. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done to make this a special even for us all.
Thank you again and take care.

Mother of the Bride"

New Marathon in August

I shall be on the West Coast (near Saltcoats/Largs) and am available for the following types of photography on the 2nd and 4th of August ;

"Bloodline" - family portraiture with a contemporary slant, probably beach-led but open to suggestions

"Breathless" - boudoir photography in a luxury hotel room, contemporary and modern, for ladies of all ages

"Bump" - pregnancy photography, can be done in the hotel room, and/or on the beach

Sessions fees start at £80 for the session plus studio viewing of the images, and normally there is a travel fee but for this marathon, there is NO travel fee!

April & Dave's wedding

There are so many elements of a wedding that you as a photographer can't control, and the weather is one of them, especially in Scotland, even in the summertime!

When you plan an outdoor wedding in Scotland, you HAVE to make alternative arrangements. Unfortunately April and Dave's wedding had to be turned from an outdoor wedding in the gardens of Fernie Castle, to an indoor ceremony in the Grand Hall thanks to the horizontal drizzle this weekend.

All weddings are emotional but this wedding was extra emotional, April's parents unfortunately no longer with us but they were never forgotten on the day, and there were certainly times of laughter along with the tears.

Fernie Castle has probably the most totally unique honeymoon suite, a Treehouse on the edge of the castle grounds, which has had so many personal little touches given to it. The staircase is just a photographers dream!

And when the couple think of only each other, you get amazing images like this!

Enjoy St Lucia guys I am SO jealous, we were there in 2000 and it was amazing!

The "Breathless" marathon last weekend was fun, shame one of the appointments cancelled at the last minute but I got some great images. It was also nice to meet past Breathless clients who were picking up albums and prints and even Andy the groom from last months wedding in Newcastle came to collect his finished album!

"Breathless" Newcastle marathon.......AGAIN!

Yup, so quick after the first one, I have ended up with another Marathon, back in Newcastle on 9th June!!

And I shall be meeting up with some of the ladies from the previous Marathon who will be picking up their albums etc!

And if there is anyone looking for a "Breathless" session in the North East, I have ONE space left!
