Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

The end of 2011 is upon us and I have photographed a great bunch of weddings this year, which I shall show you over the next couple of months.

Have an AWESOME 2012 everyone!

Sneak peek - Jool's & Kirsti's wedding, Edinburgh Castle & the Witchery

My last wedding of the year was one to remember - a beautiful small intimate wedding with a hurricane forcing major changes of plans for the day! But all was good and these two got hitched! Watch out for their full on blogging in 2012!

Pardeep & Michael's wedding, Moorpark House - part five

Cake cutting on the impressive staircase preceded the very funny speeches, I think Michael had a few embarrassed faces on!

 The Knox Room has the most impressive ornate ceiling.

 And in the Marble Room, I had a laugh with the family and friends.

 As I left Moorpark in the rain, I was honoured to have spent the day with Par and Michael and their friends and family. Thanks guys.

Pardeep & Michael's wedding, Moorpark House - part three

Post wedding mingling, kisses, cuddles and congratulations were in order.

 

 Then it was time to steal the newlyweds away for some photos in the crisp autumnal air.

 The Marble Room in Moorpark has impressive windows for beautiful natural light images.

 Loved Par's henna.

Meanwhile, outside the groom was greeting guests and having fun with his boys.

 The ceremony in the conservatory was really sweet, with a real personal touch when some young family members added their musical note to the proceedings.

Pardeep & Michael's wedding, Moorpark House - part one

One wintery day I made the journey to the West Coast and to Moorpark Country House, a hidden gem in Ayrshire countryside.

Par & Michael's day may have looked overcast and dreary weather-wise but the love and hilarity inside the house made up for it!

I joined the bride and her girls in the bridal suite, and immediately loved Par's style and taste - she had the same Irregular Choice shoes that I had for my 10th anniversary vow renewal! Only difference being the colour as she went for bridal ivory (while I went for purple of course!) and the shoes went perfectly with her amazing Ian Stuart dress. I was told that the dress fittings were done by the man himself, with many adjustments made to the style of the dress in order for it to be as personalised to the bride as possible.

 The previous nights henna party was in full evidence.

These girls knew how to have a good laugh!

Merry Christmas!

Whatever you are doing over this holiday period, have a good one!

Karen & Chris' wedding, Glasgow City Halls - part five

Back at the City Halls, the Recital Room had been turned around into a beautiful wedding breakfast.

where Karen spotted for the first time, the amazing cake topper!

We nipped out for some grub ourselves as the setting sun cast beautiful contrast on local buildings.

Post-meal speeches were funny and heart-felt.

Whereas the choreographed first dance was photography heaven!

Many thanks Karen and Chris for letting me join your special day. Chilled and personal, and full of fun!

And their honeymoon was as unique as the couple themselves; no sunning on the beach, or city life style - no a fantastic trip to Bolivia ensued, a once in a lifetime experience!

The resulting album for Karen and Chris was a joy to hand over, and I hope a much treasured heirloom now.
