Edinburgh Wedding Photography - Denise & Graeme


14th April was the wedding day for Denise & Graeme.  Our couple chose the Queensferry Hotel, with it's fantastic views of the Forth Road & Rail Bridges, as their wedding venue.

We were so lucky with the weather.  When we left Hawick to travel up to Edinburgh in the morning it was pouring with rain.  When we arrived at Denise's parents house in Lasswade, the rain stopped and stayed off right up until the last few photographs.

Denise & Graeme are a fantastic couple to know and we loved working with them & their families.  We hope they have a wonderful life together.

Here are some of  Denise & Graeme's images, they have some stunning Bride & Groom Portraits.


Denise prepared for her big day at her Parents, Mary & David's home in Lasswade.  This shot od Denise was taken before she left for the Queensferry Hotel.

 Almost outshining the Bride, but not quite, was 8 year old flowergirl Sophie. She looked like a little princess on the day and was happy for us to take photos all day long!

 We love this pcture of Denise & Sophie together.

This was a rather nervous Graeme awaiting the arrival of his Bride.

The happy couple with their guests after the ceremony.

 The daffodils were in full bloom so we took full advantage.

There were two "must haves" Denise & Graeme wanted us to photograph.  The Forth Bridges & the vintage Jaguar.  We think the following images say "Mission Accomplished"!!








Loch Lomond Wedding Photography - Louise & Andrew



On Thursday 5th April we travelled to the "bonny bonny banks of Loch Lomond" to photograph the wedding of Louise & Andrew.
Louise & Andrew tied the knot at the Cruin.  Louise was determined to have an outdoor wedding, and luckily the weather held up.  Despite the cold, a beautiful ceremony took place overlooking Loch Lomond.
The whole day was relaxed and fun, we really enjoyed photographing Louise, Andrew and their families and friends.
Here are some of our images from the wedding day.


Louise got ready at one of the Cruin's log cabins before walking the short distance to the outdoor ceremony where she was given away by her Mum Iris.


The ceremony was outside on the terrace overlooking the Loch.  It was so lovely and peaceful.

Louise and Andrew led their guests down to the Loch after the ceremony.

We created some beautiful Bride & Groom Portraits for Louise & Andrew.  This is a lovely romantic shot at Arden Hostel

Beautiful Photo Products


There is no substitute for high quality Profesional Photography and Photographic Products such as albums and frames etc but what do you do with your own family snaps or your guests photographs of your wedding?

Everyone nowadays has a digital camera and sadly in a lot of cases the photographs you take end up never seeing the light of day, they get left on the memory card in your camera or in the depths of your computer.

We would like to introduce our clients and blog visitors to some beautiful photographic products.  By clicking on the link to our photographic products you can access professional quality products that are not available to the general public.  We have teamed up with Pinholepress to offer you the chance to customise calenders, photobooks, thank you cards, notebooks and much more, with your own images and text where appropriate.  These products make great gifts for family and friends and are simple to create.

Many Bride & Grooms who have selected a disk only package from us tell us that a year on they still haven't gotten round to creating a wedding album and ask us if we can recommend somewhere they can go to get great a quality book made.  Up until now we haven't known of any where available to our couples where they can get professional quality photo products so we are delighted to be able to offer these beautiful books and accessories.

These are images of a few of the products available only by clicking on the links we have provided.

This is one of our favourite photo products.  Its the wall calendar which you can add your own images to, one for every month. They make great gifts.

Fashion Portraits

Portrait Photographer Hawick

Portrait Photographer Scottish Borders

We love to something a bit different when it comes to our Portraiture and this weekend we had the perfect opportunity. Emma's parents wanted a Portrait of her but nothing conventional or traditional. They wanted something to hang on their wall which was more like a piece of art.

The result is a very "fashion" style of Portrait, very contemporary yet timeless. We love shooting this style of Portrait so hopefully showing this will inspire other people considering having a Portrait taken, to think outside the box!
