Amrit & Harneen's Beach Portraits

You wouldn't think that we'd be working on the beach with the weather we've been having recently, but that's just where we were on Saturday 11th December.
It was on with the winter woolies and cosy boots and onto the sand and rocks at one of Scotland's many beautiful beaches.
Amrit & Harneen have booked us to photograph their wedding next year, and they wanted a Pre-Wedding Portrait shoot so they can show the images at their engagement party in January.
We had a great time on this shoot and we think Amrit & Harneen did too! We captured brilliant informal images as well as some romantic shots of the Bride & Groom to be.
Amrit & Harneen, we hope you love your images as much as we do, here's a little taster of the shoot. We can't wait for the Wedding, you're going to have stunning images!

Cashmere Shoot for Noluur 23rd September 2010

These are some of the images we shot at a full day shoot for Noluur Cashmere just outside Langholm in the Scottish Borders. The shoot was in an old derelict house with no heating or water so it was just a bit chilly! Thanks to models Craig and Chantelle for braving the cold and doing a fantastic job. Also to Bill who was our chauffeur for the day, ferrying us back and forwards in his 4 wheel drive!
