Hopetoun House Wedding – South Queensferry

Adam and Sabha’s Wedding

Well what can I say about the wedding of Sabha  and Adam apart from the fact that they were an amazing couple to photograph and  that they picked the stunning location of Hopetoun House for their wedding reception. For me Hopetoun House was a great choice as it  just suits my style of wedding photography and gives you an amazing background for the couple’s photographs.  The surrounding area around the house is equally fantastic to photograph.

Hope you both had a fantastic honeymoon and thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of your wedding day. It was a fantastic day and I really do look forward to seeing you both soon.

29 Club Glasgow Wedding

Linda and Stuart’s Wedding

Just had an amazing fun wedding with Linda and Stuart who were married in the heart of Glasgow at the 29 Club in Royal Exchange Square. It was great to get some different fashion style images for their wedding album and in the process have a lot of fun taking them. The couple were open to any suggestion for a photograph I could throw at them and it was just so refreshing to be able to do that on a wedding day.

Looking forward to seeing you guys soon and hope you had a great honeymoon.

Holiday Inn Wedding – East Kilbride

Janie and Simon’s Wedding


A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Janie and Simon at the Holiday Inn, East Kilbride.  As the Scottish weather wasn’t that great as usual,  most of the wedding photographs had to be taken inside the venue. However, this didn’t dampen the spirits of the bridal couple, who were just great to photograph on their special day.

Nearby, on the outskirts of the town  there is the  Calderglen Country Park which provides an alternative backdrop.

Ross Priory Wedding

Calum and Lisa’s Wedding

It was back once again to one of my favourite locations – Ross Priory on the banks of Loch Lomond –  for the wedding of Calum and Lisa.  The weather was simply awful but we managed to get about a half  hour dry spell before the heavens opened up again.  We had to move fast to get all the shots that we wanted in the can before the rain started again
Hope you have  both enjoyed your honeymoon and I look forward to seeing you both when I have finished working on your images.

Ross Priory is a great venue for Scottish Wedding Photography.  The beautiful walled garden, the Priory itself, and the stunning backdrop of Loch Lomond ensures that there will be no lack of fantastic backdrops for your wedding photographs even if the Scottish weather isn’t kind. Loch Lomond and. in particular, Ross Priory is the perfect fairytale location for a Scottish Wedding.
