Master Photographer of the Year 2012

Award Winning Portrait Photographer

Portrait Photographer Scottish Borders

The annual Master Photographers Association Scottish Awards have just been held in Edinburgh. Parris Photography have been named not only Portrait Photographer of the Year but overall Master Photographer of the Year for 2012!

The winning image for Portrait Photographer of the Year is below. We love this image for it's "quirkyness" and to us it has a very British feel to it! The couple in the picture are John & Ursula Rigg originally from England now living in South Carolina.

We had a great laugh with John & Ursula and would like to say a huge thank you to them for choosing us to take their Portraits. They love the shot as much as we do and it will soon be on permanent display in their home. We hope it brings a smile every time they look at it!

As well as this amazing acheivement we at Parris Photography also received certificates of excellence for our Wedding Photography, a couple of samples of the images are below.

This image is of one of our Brides, Lucy. She and husband Greg were married at Lennoxlove, Haddington. Lennoxlove have beautiful grounds and we loved the classic pose and the detail of the trees in the background giving depth to the image.

This is a selection of images from Joanne & Peters wedding in Dumfries. Chrichton Church is one of our favourite places to photograph. The stonework and pillars of the church are amazing!

Culzean Castle Wedding Photography - Amrit & Harneen's Scottish Wedding Reception

Award Winning Wedding Photographers

Culzean Castle Wedding Photographer

WOW! What a party!

Amrit & Harneen's wedding ceremony took place down in Nottingham, but they decided to have a reception in Scotland where they are now both living. Culzean Castle on the West Coast of Scotland was chosen as the venue and it's not hard to see why. Culzean Castle and its gardens are simply stunning!

The whole day was a fairytale from start to finish. We started off with taking some beautiful romantic shots of Amrit & Harneen around the castle before the guests arrived, then it was informal from there on in. Amrit & Harneen mingled with guests outside on the lawn after arriving on a white horse drawn carriage, before being piped down to the marquee, which was decorated in an enchanted forest theme, for dinner and speeches.

After dinner it really was party time! Amrit & Harneen had brought in a DJ from Birmingham who kept the guests dancing and partying all night. The floor was literally jumping up and down and the atmosphere was amazing! We were really tempted to down cameras and join in!

At the stroke of midnight a pipe band played a selection of Scottish favourites providing a perfect end to what was an amazing day.

Thanks go out to Amrit & Harneen, we thoroughly enjoyed photographing you and your families and friends, the photos are great!

Harneen's Makeup was immaculate and her dress was amazing, she looked absolutely stunning!

As the Bride & Groom officially arrived to greet their guests, they were accompanied by 2 pipers and 2 dohl drummers.

The amazing wedding cake was a three foot high tree made from chocolate, it was completely edible!

The floor was packed all night and the floor was literally bouncing!
