Christine & Ross Wedding Now Online

Ross & Christine's wedding photos are now available to view online in the gallery. This turned out to be one of the biggest collections we have ever done with almost 500 images in the proofs. It was the first time I had used the new Nikon D3 camera on a job, and the results are simply stunning. Don't take my word for it - check out the collection for yourself here. As always you can view the images online individually (click on the thumbnail for a larger version) or use the slideshow function to go the whole set. There is no obligation to purchase anything, but if you wish to buy any pictures you can place your order on the website and pay online.

We'd love to hear your stories from the day and what you think of the pictures, so please feel free to use the comments function below.

Christine & Ross's Wedding

Four days into the new year and already I've shot two weddings .... it's going to be a busy year!

Christine and Ross, who we photographed a few days before the wedding in the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, got married yesterday. There was snow on the ground, quite a change from their usual place of residence - Grand Cayman.

Christine was transported to the church in great style by Fred Multon of
Wedding Classics in a beautiful 1931 Sunbeam 20. I first met Fred in 1992 and it's always a pleasure to renew the acquaintance, particularly as I have a soft spot for old cars myself. The Wedding Classics collection is run by Fred's daughter Polly and consists of a variety of genuine vintage cars, all in fabulous condition. If you have yet to book your cars you must check them out.

The church was a first for me for despite being in central Edinburgh it is constructed entirely of wood! It looked absolutely stunning inside and out as you can see from the pictures. After the marriage ceremony and a few pictures outside with the children from Christine's former primary school pupils we moved on to the
George Hotel for the reception who laid on a superb function with entertainment by surely the hardest working wedding band in Scotland - Callanish.

Special mention must be made of the superb cake, featuring scenes from around Grand Cayman. I've never seen an iguana on a wedding cake before! It was a fabulous piece of work.

A great time was had by all, though none more so than Christine and Ross themselves - they never stopped smiling throughout the day and photographing them was a huge pleasure. I was assisted throughout the day by my son Callum who did a sterling job of carrying all the bags and generally helping out wherever needed.

Christine and Ross are off to New York for their honeymoon, staying at the
Waldorf in New York before returning to Grand Cayman to rebuild their tans & get back to work!

Here are some of my favourite pictures from the day - normally I try and limit this to about twenty shots, but with Christine & Ross's wedding there was so much going on that I couldn't choose. Enjoy the pictures, and please use the commetns function to leave us a message. The full collection will be on the gallery in a few days.

Christine & Ross Pre-wedding Photoshoot

Happy New Year to all our friends & clients.

The last shoot of 2007 becomes the first post of 2008 - and the first to use our new slideshow too. Christine and Ross look happy don't they - they should do, they're getting married on Friday! They are both currently working in Grand Cayman, but are currently in Edinburgh for Christmas ... and their wedding, so we met up at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh for some pre-wedding pictures. My son Callum will be assisting me at weddings this year and it was a good chance to break him in gently, as well as trying out my two brand-new Nikon cameras (a D3 and a D300 for those that care about such things). Despite it being a miserable overcast day I'm very pleased with the results - it's going to be a great year.



You can view all the pictures from the photoshoot here and the full slideshow is here.
