Testimonial from Anita Williamson, married to Grant at Balcardine Castle, near Oban, who also had a "bling" pre-wedding shoot, a "breathless" boudoir shoot and a "Back Again" post wedding shoot!!

"When we got engaged in September 09 we started the rather daunting task of finding a photographer. I joined the Scottish Wedding Directory Forum and this is where I found Nikki first. I liked a comment she had made and looked at her website and just knew that her style would really suit us. She had a "win your wedding photography" competition going and I entered. We didn't win but still met up..well the rest is history really. We just clicked and booked her straight away.

I then decided to have a Boudoir Shoot as a surprise wedding present for my husband. I'm still not quite sure how I talked myself into it in the first place lol
I was really nervous but there was no need. Nikki had put me at ease in no time and before I knew it I was posing away and really enjoying the experience. In fact I was buzzing for days after.
Once I got the pictures online I had the hard task of picking the ones I wanted for the album,there were sooo many awesome pictures,it was hard to pick what I thought would be the nicest for my husband.....well lets just say the end result had my poor man in tears on our wedding day :)

Then Grant and I had an engagement shoot. Neither of us liked to get our picture taken and we felt really awkward,so doing this shoot really helped us to relax in front of the camera and we got to know how Nikki works. we had loads of fun and in the end settled on one picture (I wanted all of them really) which we used for a signature frame that our guests signed at the wedding instead of a traditional guest book, its now hanging in our hall and makes me emotional every time I look at it.

Over time Nikki an I got to know each other well and by the time of our wedding we were firm friends and without her I think I would have lost the plot in a rather stressful run up to the day :) She did an amazing job, our pictures are AWESOME and it was hard to pick pics we didn't like lol Now we can't wait to get our album!!

We also did a post wedding shoot which was awesome fun!

All I can say is...finding Nikki was the best thing that could have happened to us. We have the most amazing wedding pictures and memories and I have an awesome friend in her :) Thanks so much Nikki for everything you have done over the last year..all those lovely pictures and for going above and beyond on our wedding day ;) You are truly amazing and I love you to bits :) xxx"

Testimonial from Alison Tinlin, from her Blast Off session of her family.

"Back in May, Nikki did a portrait session with myself and my family.
What patience she has, and a great eye and the ability to make a picture. Anyone that can tame my 3 and 5 year old has my upmost respect, and we were delighted with the outstanding images she took of us as a family.
Thanks Nikki, have always been impressed by your work but this was top notch x"

Testimonial from Pardeep Cassells, married to Michael at Moorpark House, Ayrshire.

"Nikki travelled all the way down to Ayrshire on a yucky October Saturday to take our wedding photos...Well, weren't they worth it? Seriously cannot believe how gorgeous the photos are and how amazing the album is. Everyone who has seen them has been super impressed and Michael's family were so, so pleased that we got the album in time to take it over for Christmas (thanks for that!!)

Some of the pictures are just unbelievable - still don't remember either of us looking that good on the day!! And, Michael is never going to live down his new nickname "Blue Steel" (courtesy of the full page spread of him?)...Thanks so much for an incredible album to remind us of an incredible day. You were awesome xxx"

Testimonial from Kerri Miller, from her Blast Off session of her family.

" Tonight we got to see our online viewing of the photos Nikki took at our family portrait session last weekend. I have been buzzing for the last 72 hours, waiting for them to be put up for us to see, I had a feeling they were going to be good. WOW. I had no idea how good they would be! We thought it would be easy to pick 5 for our package, and then 1 more to get blown up nice and big for the wall at home...yeah right...! I'm not sure that I could pick 5 that I DONT want!

Out of almost 200 images, I have no idea how to pick the best ones, there are no best ones, they are all so brilliant.

Nikki made the session so easy and relaxed, and most importantly (with 2 children!) it was FUN. At times it seemed a bit chaotic with the 2 children runing riot, but you'd never guess that from the photos that we're looking at. Every single one seems to capture the essence of our family, in such a way that I have actually found myself welling up over more than one of our beautiful pictures.

Thank you so much Nikki, you have captured moments that will never ever happen again for us, especially our sons first ever steps. I simply can't put into words how happy we are, and i've alread said once today that you are worth EVERY penny!

THANK YOU!!! xxxxx
Kerri x"

" We chose Nikki to be our wedding photographer 5 years ago and never regretted it. Our photos were amazing and there were so many to choose from. Neither of us were confident in front of the camera but Nikki made us feel so relaxed, it made the end product just stunning. We would both recommend Nikki very highly"

Testimonial from Janice Murphy, married to Anthony at St Patricks Church, Dumbarton & 29 Glasgow.

" Having our photographs taken was one of the favourite parts of our day as we had a chance to sneak off with Nikki and spend some time together. Nikki was a real pleasure to work with. She filled us with confidence and had some fantastic ideas. She took advantage of the fantastic backdrop and asked us to do some night shots out on Royal Exchange Square. These worked out brilliantly and are my favourite shots of the day.

Nikki was a true professional and knew exactly what would work. We actually booked Nikki purely on the work we had seen in RLW then on her website. We didn’t even meet her beforehand. I was that sure I wanted her to photograph our wedding. Her style was exactly what we were looking for.

I would highly recommend Nikki McLeod Photography to anyone who is getting married.

Thanks Nikki.. I'm sure you will see us again soon!

{blush} reviews from Facebook

Facebook are removing their Reviews part of a business page from the end of the month. Total bummer, as I have a load of lovely testimonials on there from wedding, boudoir and portrait clients.

So please excuse me while I copy them all onto this blog.....

{blush} lovely words on one of my own Thank You cards!

It is crazy busy season at NMP and Blast Off, hence the reason why the blog has been a little neglected.........shame too, as I have so many weddings and portraits to blog! It's not as if I don't have anything to blog!

Before I start up another wedding, I just had to put up this testimonial.

Anita and Grant have become very well-known to NMP, as I have photographed for them;

- a "Bling" pre-wedding shoot

- their wedding in Oban

- Anita's "breathless" boudoir shoot

- a "Back Again" post-wedding shoot!

Anita has even helped me with some assisting jobs. It's not surprising to hear that Anita has become one of my bestest friends and to receive a Thank You card from her was super lovely (especially when it was one of my own photographed and designed cards! LOL!)

(Please excuse the rubbish iPhone shots!)

"Dear Nikki,

This is just a wee note to thank you, not just for being our photographer, and making such a good job of it - but also for being such an awesome friend! You certainly went above and beyond on our big day! Our wedding day was special because we were lucky enough to be surrounded by the people we love, and that certainly includes you! Thank you lots of love Anita & Grant"

NMP on Facebook!

Whoop, I am very blessed to have over 1000 people on Facebook "liking" my NMP Facebook page!!

There is a lot of good stuff on there, including some lovely words from past clients for weddings, boudoir and portraits.

Another great place for some lovely words is here on this blog - click 'testimonials' on the list down the side and it will come up with a whole load of blog posts that have been lovely words from past clients.

I always put some wedding photos on there a day or so after the wedding, as a sneak peek so the bride and groom and their friends and family can see some of the flabby images I took on the day!

So if you are getting married and are having NMP photographing your wedding, make sure you "like" Nikki McLeod Photography on Facebook!

Lovely words! {blush}

I received some lovely cards and presents from some of from my wonderful clients before the holidays.

"Nikki


We would like to say a HUGE Thank You for our fantastic wedding album. It captures memories from every part of our special day and brings a smile to our faces every time we look at it! (normally twice a day!)

We have had loads of fantastic comments so far and we can't wait to show it off over Christmas

We hope you and your family have a great Christmas and Happy New Year 2011!

Love Colin & Julie"

{blush}ing again

"Don't think we have quite said just how much we both love the pics and I still just can't get over just how much I didn't realise you were even there taking pics yet you seemed to of captured everything!!

Thanks so much once again,

Mr and Mrs Douglas!!!!"

{blushing}

Another happy NMP bride -

"Hi Nikki

I hope you are well and are managing to get some time off.

We have spent a lot of time looking at our wedding photographs trying to absorb every little detail from our day. They are fantastic and we are delighted with the results. You did such an amazing job, capturing everything perfectly. You really managed to include every little detail and we will have this forever. We are so grateful!

We love all of the photos from the couples session, however our favourites are probably the ones taken in St Monans and at the cathedral. Those are just fantastic! We also love the ones at the beach and on the bridge. The sky looks so dramatic, its just a shame the wind picked up for the bridge shots. Its just such a difficult choice.

Thanks again for all your hard work. We had such a wonderful day and you have brought it together perfectly for us. Please also send our thanks to Beverly. She was a fantastic help on the day and could not have done more for me. I am so grateful."

Sheryll & Andy
