2010 KODAK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR!

We were absolutely blown away on Sunday night when John received the title of
"2010 Kodak Wedding Photographer of the Year".
John's image, below, beat thousands of entries across Britain and was announced as the winner at the Master Photographers Association Awards ceremony held at the Hilton Hotel, Birmingham, with special guest comedian Tom O'Connor.
It was a fantastic night and we were more than happy to pass the news on to Gemma & Alan, Morton who were our Bride & Groom in the image which won, and will shortly receive a cheque for £1000 from Kodak!

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!

Fashion Shoot for Noluur 16th September,. Photography at Hoscote House



Have literally just got in the door from a Fashion Shoot at Hoscote House just outside Roberton, near Hawick. What a beautiful place! The grounds are stunning and the interior is classic & contemporary all at the same time. It's been beautifully & tastefully decorated throughout, and everyone there is so friendly and helpful, we just loved it!

We were doing a Fashion Shoot for Noluur a company based in Langholm in the Scottish Borders who design luxury Mongolian cashmere. What gorgeous pieces they have and the colours are beautiful.

We were very lucky to be able to have singer/songwriter Esther O'Connor to model the garments for us. Esther is about to release her 3rd album and has appeared at 'T' in the Park, 'V' Festival & Celtic Connections to name but a few. Esther looked stunning modelling the garments she has a mass of strawberry blonde curls and porcelain skin & everything looked great, modelling definately suits her! Check out Esther's website by clicking on the link at the top of this paragraph.

We had a ball doing this shoot, we could have carried on for hours more! Thanks to Esther & Hubby Tim, (Tim did a great job directing reflectors and video light!), & Ray & Laura our clients at Noluur , it's great to have a free reign over the style of the shoot and choice of garments to use.

Here are some of the images we shot of Esther at Hoscote House for Noluur as well as the AV Show. Please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Suz & Mark's Wedding Heiton, Kelso. Wedding Photography at Roxburghe Hotel


Suz & Mark got married at the Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course at Heiton near Kelso, on the 4th September.

The weather was glorious so the ceremony took place outside in the garden against the backdrop of the main house.

We had great fun shooting the pictures for Suz & Mark, they both wanted a natural relaxed approach to their wedding photography alongside our trademark WOW shots! They certainly have that, and with over 200 edited images to choose from it's going to be a hard job narrowing them down for the album. Good luck guys!

Here are some of the images we took on Suz & Mark's big day, we hope you enjoy!
