2008 - what a year!

It really has been a year to remember.

25 fantastic weddings.

From the top of the country at Loch Ness, to the south in Surrey, England.

From ferries to the islands of Inchcolm and Arran, to the many trips to the wonderful town of St Andrews.

From golf resorts, to castles, to small hotels, and palaces.

From horse & carriages, to walks around city centres.

From local couples, to those living as far away as Hong Kong.

I am so lucky to have this as my full time profession.

Enjoy this look back at the weddings of 2008.

Jack's 4th birthday

A bit behind in this, the joys in having album design to do till the cows come home.

Can't believe our boy is 4....

Scary.

He asked for his party to be at his favourite place in the world, the Play Planet, a local soft play centre, the Disco Room was booked, and he danced his wee heart out, with friends old and new (I invited his best friends from his old nursery, I think he was well chuffed to see them again after 5 months!)

A Spongebob cake was brought out by Zimmy the Alien, and lots of cake and sandwiches and jelly to scoff (why are kids parties so much more fun?)

He then went to his friend's Rosemary's party as he shares a birthday with her, and ended the evening at the ice rink watching his uncle Scott attempt to play hockey!

Click the play button, give a second or two, and then enjoy a bunch of crazy kids having a fun time (and the children had fun too!)

Jennifer's model shoot - Forrester Park Resort

At this quiet time of year, you could easily stagnate with no weddings to shoot; well not me.

Jennifer and I met on a wedding forum, and Jennifer very kindly helped me at another shoot a couple of months ago.

Today we ventured to one of my favourite venues Forrester Park Golf Resort near Dunfermline to do a model shoot; time for me to practice some new techniques, and the chance for Jennifer to wear her wedding dress since her big day in Malta in September (though I believe it isn't the first time she has had it on since then.......)

Here is a sneak peak at what we got up to today..

"Breathless" news........

I have been drowning in Christmas print orders, and finally finishing off the album designing but I think I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

In the meantime, this is a little sneak blog post to ask you to watch out for a big "Breathless" promotion coming soon.

The closing date for the Scottish Wedding Directory's competition for a free Breathless session and album was just this past weekend, so all those that entered and left their details for further information about Breathless, will recieve first dibs on the promo before it gets released onto the blog.

Don't forget if you are still looking for that last minute Christmas present....

Buy a NMP gift voucher for any value over £50 and when that voucher is used, whether it be wedding or portraits, the recipient of the voucher gets a complimentary FRAMED 7" x 5" image!

Closing date for this is December 19th.
