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
