James & Amanda!

Posted in Wedding with tags on October 22, 2008 by Chris

It was a pleasure shooting James & Amanda’s wedding in Hamilton.  James arrived with plenty of time, Amanda arrived on time….but all we needed was Amanda’s sister….. Thankfully she arrived and we were ready to go. The day before the wedding I checked the weather forecast like I always. It wasn’t good!  The BBC Weather site had it for very heavy rain, which would be a shame as the park behind the Town Hall is beautiful and I was really hoping to get some cracking shots of the 2 of them after the ceremony. Thankfully for the 2 hours before and about an hour after it, the sun was shining. I literally took the last image when the heavens opened…. so it was off to the reception!

I’ve never met anyone who hates getting their photos taken as much as Amanda. My style is to keep things modern and natural and I personally think Amanda looks absolutely stunning in these images! 

Guys I had great fun at your wedding, you made me feel very welcome and part of the crowd and I thank you again for including me in your meal! It was a pleasure!

Elaine and Angela are 2 sisters with 2 children who wanted a family shoot for friends and family!  Why venture off to a big studio when you can have your portraits shot at your location?

We had great fun that afternoon, I hope your family enjoy your portraits!

The wedding of Amy & Peter

Posted in Wedding on October 2, 2008 by Chris

I had the honour and privilege of photographing Amy & Peter’s wedding on September the 19th, 2008. Amy & Peter were married in Grangemouth with their reception held at The Glenbervie Hotel, Larbert. I started off the day capturing the dizzy preparations at Amy’s house where all the girls were getting ready, before moving onto Pete’s place where all the guys seemed remarkably calm and organised! The ceremony was at 1pm and Amy arrived, on time, cool as a cucumber and looking stunning!  The Glenbervie Hotel was a lovely setting for some beautiful ‘couple shots’ around the scenic grounds. After the speeches and meal, I was spoiled for choice for photo opportunities with the dance floor packed for every song! The only fright we had all day was when it started to drizzle with rain on our arrival at the hotel, but, thankfully, it only lasted 10 minutes, which gave everyone time to enjoy the champagne and canapes! It was an amazing day, everyone looked fabulous…hope you enjoy this sneak peek!
