Highlands and Islands Portrait Photography – Autumn Diary now open!

So the weather hasn’t been the best over the last few weeks, but we’re hoping that means there will be a delayed burst of warmth and sunshine to come! My diary is now open for the Autumn months and I’ll be shooting portrait sessions throughout the Highlands and Islands.

Autumn is a great time to have some family or kids portraits taken, and even better to have some up to date images ready for the perfect Christmas present for grandparents and relatives.

My diary for Autumn is now open and I’m now taking bookings for family and kids portrait sessions for September and October – including the long weekends and school holidays!

Candid portrait images are a great way to capture some images of you, your family or friends, and with sessions shot through the Autumn you have plenty content for great christmas presents!

I’ll be offering sessions throughout Inverness and the Highlands, and expect also to be in Lewis and Glasgow – get in touch now if you’d like to enquire about booking a session.

I’ll also be offering two packages at a discounted price for the duration of the October holidays – 12th – 26th October, but available session times are limited!

During the October school holidays – (10th – 26th October 2015) I’ll be offering a range of discounts on my portraiture sessions, with two of my most popular packages on offer!

In addition I also offer a £25 referral credit, meaning that when both you and a friend/family member book a session, you’ll both save £25 on the cost!

Alex and Suzie – An Aultmore House Wedding

Alex and Suzie’s wedding at Aultmore House and Inverallan Church was a cracker – a fantastic wedding to go with a great story.
As well as being clients for the day Alex and Suzie are also good friends and it was a special privilege to both shoot the wedding photographs and also be there to witness them taking their vows and celebrating in style.
My recollection of the story of Alex and Suzie goes back a few years when I collected Suzie from the airport after her study abroad semester in New Zealand. She had shared a flat with my wife, Fiona and had headed off to study in NZ not long after she and her sister Cairine had both been a bridesmaid for Fiona when we were married. Anyway, Sooz came through the doors of the airport overloaded with too many bags, and a smile a mile wide. We heard the stories of life in NZ and meeting Alex, and then progress a few years later, and they’re married!
Alex and Suzie had booked Aultmore House for their wedding, an absolute gem of a venue in Nethy Bridge with beautiful views of the Cairngorm Mountains as a backdrop. They were joined in the run up to the wedding by their friends and family gathered from all over the world including friends from their time in New Zealand and Alex’s family from Minnesota.
After morning preperations at Aultmore House we made our way along to Inverallan Church in Grantown, a beautiful building and somewhere Suzi knew well from taking family holidays in the area when growing up. David Meredith married them and a beautiful and deliberate ceremony marked a real sense of celebration – I’ve never seen a couple smile so much!
We stopped off for a couple of quick photos en route back to Aultmore where we shot the group shots before guests were entertained with dancing into the marquee – a beautiful meal and a fanstastic round of speeches.
I too Suzie and Alex for a quick drive after dinner to get some shots with the two of them before we lost the last of the light and then headed back to the Marquee at Aultmore for a night full of dancing – watching Americans learn to Strip the Willow is great entertainment!
If you’d like to see the full set of images from the day you can send me an e-mail here.

Alex and Suzi – An Inverallan Church Wedding

After yesterdays wedding of Niall and Catherine at Airth Castle I was delighted to have another wedding to head to – this time for Alex and Suzie at Inverallan Church followed by their reception at Aultmore House in Nethybridge.

I’m always honoured when asked to be with a couple to shoot their images for them but Alex and Suzie’s was an extra special wedding for me, they are dear friends and their page boy was none other than Ally, our son.

As I watched them take their vows I was reminded of when I picked up Suzie from the airport after she had returned from her study abroad semester in New Zealand – while there she had met a pile of new friends, including a guy from Minnesota called Alex. The rest as they say – is history!
