Wedding Photography at Kings College Aberdeen - Lynne & Scott 27th May 2011

Thursday, June 2, 2011












Friday 27th May was the big day for Lynne Anderson & Scott Brymer. Lynne & Scott met when they both attended Kings College in Aberdeen so it was the perfect place for them to take their wedding vows followed by a reception at the Marcliffe at Pitfodels.



Lynne's dress was beautiful and the first ever wedding dress we have photographed with pockets!



Lynne & Scott were a great couple to photograph, we always explain to our brides & Grooms that although we take the pictures, they actually make them. The more relaxed they are and the more they interact with each other, the better our photographs will be. This was proved to be true with Lynne & Scott, they were both so natural and so obviously in love that we couldn't help but take beautiful photographs of them!



We'd like to thank Lynne & Scott and both their families for making us welcome at the wedding and for making our job an easy one!



Here are some of the shots from Lynne & Scott's big day, we hope you like them.





We love this shot as it shows off not only the flowers but also the gorgeous lace detail on the bodice of Lynne's dress.

Our handsome Groom Scott with best friend and best Man Alastair McKendrick.

Our Bridal Party in all their glory! Lynne & Scott with Best Man, Groomsmen, Bridesmaids and both sets of Parents.

This was a very special shot to Lynne & Scott as they used to walk along these cobbles together when they first met as students. The antique sepia tone worked beautifully.




A lovely romantic moment!

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.

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!

Sian & Alan's Wedding 25th July 2010, Wedding Photography at the Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh

Sunday, August 1, 2010

Sunday 25th July was Sian & Alan's Wedding day. The ceremony and reception was at the Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street in Edinburgh.

Sian & Alan had booked us after seeing the wedding album we had produced for their friends Jill & Russel Queen, who were married at Dundas Castle a couple of years ago. Jill & Russel have a stunning album so the pressure was on!

We don't think we dissapointed! Sian & Alan were keen to spend time on creating beautiful images of the two of them which is what we love doing best, so after the groups were photographed we took Sian & Alan around the hotel and shot some amazing interior pictures with low light.

After that we whisked the Bride & Groom off to Princes Street Gardens where we got absolutely stunnning images by the fountain, the steps up to Princes Street itself and also St Cuthbert's Church Yard.

Here's a few of the shots we took.

Really fun shot at the fountain in Princes Street Gardens
