Angela & Andrew...Married {Lochlomond, Scotland}

Angela & Andrew were married last month at the beautiful Luss Parish Church situated on the western shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland, with their reception taking place a short distance away at the Lodge on Loch Lomond hotel.

Unusually for my normal wedding coverage Angela didn’t want any of the bridal preparations photographing so I caught up with the boys at The Carrick Golf Club during the morning where they took in 18-holes of this stunning course.

Angela & Andrew’s pre-wedding shoot can be seen here and it was great to meet up with them again in Scotland for their wedding.

It was a beautiful day with a lovely church service shared with Angela & Andrew by their lovely family and friends and it was an absolute pleasure to share their special day with them.

'Willow'....{Children's Portrait Photography}

I had the absolute pleasure to photograph 9 month old Willow at the weekend - she was just the best 'model'!

All of the images were shot in a space no more than 6 feet by 8 feet in Willow's parent's house! If you would like some contemporary portraits of your child captured at home to hang on the wall, put in an album or share with friends and family simply get in touch!

Angela & Andrew...pre-wedding shoot {Northampton Wedding Photography- in Scotland!}

I caught up with Angela & Andrew at the weekend in the Bedfordshire countryside for their pre-wedding shoot. Having been 'rained off' the previous weekend it was lovely to be blessed with some glorious sunshine for our time together.

Angela & Andrew get married on Easter Monday at the beautiful Luss Parish Church in Luss, Scotland, followed by a reception at the Lodge on Lochlomond just down the road.

I've known Andrew for a number of years through my corporate commissions and only met Angela recently, they're a lovely couple and the same things make us laugh - I can't wait to share their wedding day with them in Scotland.

From the archive...

This image was taken at a wedding in Woburn, Bedfordshire where the chaps met for a 'pre-wedding' drink to settle the nerves at the Black Horse pub.

I'd noticed the illustration of the ladies face on the wall in the background as soon as I walked in the pub and wanted to include her in an image of the guys if I could. I got in the right position and waited for the right moment.

The image captures a lovely moment of the groom sharing a laugh with his male friends and family whilst quietly being 'watched-over' by a strikingly feminine presence clearly keeping an eye on the boys and making sure that everything is in order.

'Under the Bridge' - Chelsea Football Club

A recent corporate commission took me down to London town and the home of Chelsea Football Club, Stamford Bridge.

Under the Bridge is a unique London music venue that has been purpose built with state-of-the-art sound and lighting. It's a really cool space and has around 150 images from the music industry sourced from rockarchive.com beautifully printed and framed on the walls throughout the club. The images cover many decades of music photography featuring live performances, collaborations with musicians and documentary images. I was blown away by the quality of the images and the quality of framing, it really was an unexpected treat.

The job was for Audi UK who had laid on a celebration evening for their head office staff to celebrate their success in 2013. The entertainment for the evening was kicked-off by the 'Sparklers' LED Drummers, who I'd never seen before and performed a really unique act. The main act followed, whom I can't mention and couldn't take photos of and the evening was wrapped up by the legend that is Trevor Nelson.

Despite the professional disappointment of not being able to photograph the main act I came away with some very satisfying images. A couple from the night...click any thumbnail to enlarge.
