A pre-wedding shoot can help you get comfortable in front of the camera, which will come in handy on your wedding day! It also provides a great way for your Photographer to get used to working with both of you before the big day arrives. Not only does this mean more time spent getting photos captured but it also means you’ll be more familiar with how both parties interact with each other which makes capturing those special moments even easier!

Cornhill Castle just outside of Biggar was host to the wedding of Rachael & Daniel and it was a place that I had been looking forward to shooting for a while. Rachael along with her mum and bridesmaids all got ready in the balmoral room which was grand in itself with incredible windows and plenty of space to entertain the little ones.

Anna & James celebrated in style with their luxury wedding at Oxenfoord Castle. With morning preparations here it was the perfect setting to get ready for the big day. They chose to get married at their own church, Carrubbers situated on the Royal Mile. The groom and his best men arrived to greet guests from far and wide and whilst he was taking position at the alter, Anna arrived in a beautiful vintage white wedding car and for a few moments brought the entirety of the high street to a standstill with onlookers stopping for a glimpse at the bride and her entourage.

Mairéad & Jordan got engaged in the Scottish Highlands in Glencoe, more specifically the most famous little white cottage around and it was perfect! There were gaps of sun, cloud and even rain… What a shock, but it made for some atmospheric conditions.

Capturing special moments is what it is all about and this was one of them. When Danial reached out to plan his proposal to his partner Ellie I was instantly keen for it! We had emailed back and forth and nailed down some fine details regarding the where, when and how. The how being that the reason I was there was that it was in fact a birthday surprise for Ellie so that they would have some nice photographs together.

Hodsock Priory was the location chosen by Eleanor & Shrey to get married in the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside. This was my first time photographing one of my own weddings in England I was very excited for it. I have to say it was everything I expected and more. A sole use venue, the couple along with their family & friends had the entire place to themselves and we took full advantage of it.

Tyninghame Beach is hands down one of my favourites, it just has everything you could want. Incredible sand dunes, woodlands and more shoreline than you could need so lets just say I was more than happy to meet Anna & James here for their pre-wedding shoot! We had hoped for some golden hour light but it did not quite happen that way but we had so much fun playing around and getting more photos than I imagined.

St. Ninians Church was where Stephanie & Santino were set to marry and what a day they picked for it. Stephanie was getting ready at the Hilton with her bridesmaids, Mum & daughter whilst Santino was getting ready at his parents house with the guys. St. Ninians was very impressive and beautiful inside, a grand aisle leading to a gloriously spacious alter.

A lovely evening walk around the fringe of Loch Lomond with Giulia & Luis for their pre-wedding session. We had arranged to meet in the early evening as they preferred to have a chance of some soft light and planned to sit by the shore and make a fire, something they normally do from time to time.

The Rhynd was the setting for Yoxin & Kyle to celebrate in style with their family & friends from far and wide. Both getting ready on site in the cottage but somehow managing to stay apart was quite impressive. Yoxin boasting the larger suite with the girls to get ready whilst Kyle had the run of the house with the boys.

Alexandra & Matthew celebrated in front of their best friends and family at the wonderful Marshall Meadows in Berwick. Alexandra, the girls along with Mums’s and Gran all got ready together in the bridal suite and Matthew got ready with his groomsmen in the cottages to the rear of the main building.

Joanne & Ryan celebrated their wedding day at Logie Country House, Inverurie situated in Aberdeenshire. With beautiful surroundings this is the ideal all in one wedding venue to share your special day with all your closest family and friends.
