Tony & Leah's Wedding

Tony and Leah's wedding on 25th Feb provided us with some fantastic opportunities for photographs. The service took place in Garnet Hill Synagogue and the reception at Mar Hall, Bishopton (about a mile from our doorstep!)

Leah's fabulous dress is shown here while she and Tony stole a quite moment in their suite at Mar Hall.

During the reception the Tony, Leah and guests took to the dance floor for a bout of fast and furious Israeli dancing.

They were a great couple to work with as they were so natural in front of the camera. Leah was a brilliantly happy bride and even in her more candid shots she was radiant and always expressing a smile.

Special thanks to Ken for second shooting and grabbing some great candids!

February Weddings

My next busy spell took me to The Isle of Eriska Hotel, near Oban, for the wedding of Suzy and Thomas Finkle. Susy and Thomas's celebration was an intimate affair surrounded by their family. The photo opportunities were abundant at as I had the luxury of bags of time to spend with the bride and groom before their evening ceremony. I spent time with the guys on a clay pigeon shoot and time with girls as they relaxed and prepared. My special thanks to Susy and Tommy who made us feel more like wedding guests than photgraphers for the day.

New Award & Latest news

We have fought our way out of a mountain of wedding albums and decided it was time to take stock of what's been happening lately. Apologies for the big time lapse since the last update - but it seems a photgrapher's work is never done.

Probably the biggest thing to date was David picking up an award at the annual MPA Scotland awards. Yes, my brilliant husband got himself an 'Award of Excellence' in the Avant Garde Portrait category for the entry posted below. This is a portrait of Lisa on the pier at Irvine.

The next biggest thing was probably the wedding of our great friends, Martin and Louise. This wedding is probably so special because it was at Martin and Louise's housewarming party in '95 that David and I met. So why did it take them 19 years to get married?

It was a great, if unconventional, wedding which took place on 27th January in The Pierhouse cottage at Loch Melfort near Oban. It was small, intimate and really good fun. The Humanist ceremony was really personal, they had a treasure hunt for the kids, Louise made her own wedding cake and bouquet as well as an impressive spread of canapes and pink champagne.
A house party followed the meal at a local restaurant; then a poker game in the evening - which ended in the groom causing himself some GBH when he split his chin open mucking around outside in the dark. Being in very remote place with a severe lack of first aid supplies the best he could do for sticking the open wound was the 'best before' tape from a loaf of bread.


We were also thrilled that Louise asked Antonia to be a flowergirl
