Environmental Portrait Photography - Hannah

Saturday, May 21, 2011




We had a lovely Portrait Photography session recently with Hannah. She's off to university soon and Mum & Dad wanted some natural shots of her before she goes.


We opted for an outdoor shoot and a casual look in the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders.


Good luck with University Hannah, the pics are great!

Classic Portrait Photographer of the Year

Tuesday, May 10, 2011







The annual Master Photographers Associaton Scottish Awards were held yesterday at Dunblane Hydro . We are delighted to announce that we have won the overall title of Scottish Classic Portrait Photographer of the Year 2011.



The winning image which is shown below is our client Don Nedler from Texas USA, whom we were commisioned to photograph in Australia back in March.



The winning image was shot in Black & White, in studio, with a single light to give a classic look. We wanted to create a more edgy feel though with the facial expression. Dark clothing was chosen to compliment the whole look.



Thanks goes to the judges for acknowledging the artistry and creativity of the image, and most of all thanks to Don for commisioning us to begin with.



As well as the overall title of Classic Portrait Photographer of the Year we also received



Classic Wedding Photographer of the Year - Award of Merit & Award of Excellence


Contemporary Wedding Photographer of the Year - Award of Excellence


Reportage Wedding Photographer of the Year - Award of Merit

Amrit & Harneen's Beach Portraits

Tuesday, December 14, 2010
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!

Emma's Shot!

Friday, August 20, 2010

We wanted to show what can be done to an image to give it that aged look of a very old photograph.


We took a portrait we did of Emma and transformed it into an image that could have been taken a long long time ago.

MPA Scotland Awards 2010

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Last night was the annual Master Photographers Association Scottish Awards.

This year it was held at Dunblane Hydro which is looking amazing having just undergone a 12 million pound makeover.

We are "totally chuffed" to announce that John won the overall Scottish Photographer of the Year 2010!

As well as the overall title, John also bagged the following:

Complete Wedding Photographer of the Year 2010 (10 images from 1 wedding)
Overall Portrait Photographer of the Year 2010
Complete Portrait Photographer of the Year 2010 (5 images from 1 sitting)
Family Portrait Photographer of the Year 2010
Contemporary Portrait Photographer of the Year 2010

Sandra also did brilliantly winning the title of Reportage Wedding Photographer of the Year 2010.

Along with these titles we have also been awarded an unbelievable 18 awards of Merit and Excellence between us.

It's been a huge scoop for us especially as John also won Scottish Photographer of the Year with the BIPP at their awards ceremony on Loch Lomond a few weeks ago. It's great to see our hard work paying off!

We couldn't have done it without our Bride & Grooms and Portrait clients though, so thank you to you all.

CD Cover Shoot, 3rd June 2010

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Over the last few years we've been lucky enough to work with triple platinum, country & folk artist, Isla Grant.

This time we were shooting the CD cover for Isla's new album which is due out later this year.

We'd decided we wanted a relaxed shoot on the beach which, as we all know in Scotland, was tempting fate! However, the weather was on our side and we got a fabulous day at St Abbs, you'd have thought we were abroad, so no need to call the album "Windswept"!

Isla bravely put her fear of heights aside and agreed to pose on some rocks overlooking the bay. We love these ones they look really relaxed and modern with Isla in her jeans and sandals.

Then we did some stunning shots with Isla walking along the beach in her bare feet and sun hat, followed by some fun shots of Isla spinning round so the floaty material on the top she was wearing billowed out in the breeze.

We also got a fun shot of Isla in her new Mercedes convertible with the blue sky in the background which looks like it could be an advert for the car!

As Isla's off to Canada on tour, some images will follow shortly as soon as we get the go ahead from her, so keep checking back!
