From Bump to Baby: Kevin, Leanne and Baby Grace

Friday, June 26, 2009 Posted in Portraits

As a Photographer who specialises in wedding photojournalism I’m not often asked to do family portrait sessions too often by new clients.

However it is an area of photography that I do enjoy, and is very similar in approach to a pre-wedding photoshoot in terms of camera technique and general style of shooting. So when approached by Kevin and Leanne (who were married last year) to do a maternity shot for them I was more than happy to oblige.

We shot the maternity session in and around Stirling in Scotland – firstly in the Clackmannanshire countryside at the foot of the Ochil Hills and then into Stirling itself just beside the Old Stirling Bridge.

Fast forward a few weeks and say hello to Baby Grace, Kevin and Leanne’s delightful daughter. Grace is a natural poser and her first formal baby pictures turned out rather well.

Thinking about a Wedding Guest Book? Take a look at this.

Monday, June 22, 2009 Posted in Pre-Wedding Shoot, Special Offers, Weddings

We have been offering a pre-wedding photoshoot (or engagement photoshoot) to all our clients since early Spring. This complimentary add-on included a free 20 x 16 print of your favourite image which you can have all your guests sign on your wedding day.

We recently enhanced this package by replacing the mounted print with a brand new offering that is designed to showcase the best images of the day and to present them in a truly unique manner.

The Wedding Guest Book is a customised product designed to showcase the images taken of you both on your pre-wedding shoot and incorporating lots of space for your guests to write their messages of congratulations. This is a wedding guest book that is truly like no other.

What better way to start of your wedding preparations than to get out into the Scottish countryside and take some wonderful images. Although we are based near Stirling, we can actually organise a pre-wedding photoshoot almost anywhere convenient. So whether its a favourite haunt in Glasgow, or a beauty spot in Edinburgh, (or even your marriage venue itself), we’ll find the perfect backdrop to the start of your wedding preparations.

Featured in these images is the Wedding Guest Book we created for Alicia and Paul who are getting married in July. This photoshoot took place at Glamis Castle in Perthshire.

Pre-Wedding Photoshoot – Ian and Jill

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 Posted in Pre-Wedding Shoot

Pre-Wedding Photography from Alan Hutchison - Ian and Jill #1

A couple of weeks ago on a delightfully sunny weekend I found myself up at the great wedding venue of Dalmunzie Castle in Glenshee, Perthshire to do a pre-wedding photoshoot with Ian and Jill.

Although I am based in Stirling, as a Wedding Photographer I market my services throughout the whole of Scotland, so it was not unusual to find myself in the Central Highlands of Scotland.

I will be photographing Ian and Jill’s wedding day at Dalmunzie Castle in July 2010 and this was an opportunity for all of us to get to know each other better and most importantly for them to assess my skills as their wedding photographer.

On a pre-wedding photoshoot such as this we’ll typically aim to capture around 10-15 great images that the couple can then use however they wish (many couples use them for save the date cards or frame their favourite image as a family keepsake) .

Ian and Jill were great fun to work with and in the end we presented them with around 25 images which we will use to create a fully customised Wedding Guest book (more about that in an upcoming post). Family and friends can view the full collection of images in the clients area.

Great Scottish Wedding Venues #1 – Dalmunzie Castle, Perthshire

Friday, June 5, 2009 Posted in Weddings

Dalmunzie Castle Hotel

As Scottish wedding photographers we get to visit a lot of good wedding venues. Occasionally we also come across a special venue that can truly be identified as a “Great Scottish wedding venue”. One such place is Dalmunzie Castle in Glenshee, Perthshire.

I was fortunate enough to visit Dalmunzie Castle last weekend when doing a pre-wedding photoshoot for Jill and Iain who are getting married there next year (watch out for their photos appearing on the site in the next few days).

Dalmunzie dates back to 1510, and is a picture-postcard turreted mansion house. The venue is located in the Perthshire countryside, just outside the village of Spittal of Glenshee which lies a few miles north of Blairgowrie on the A93.

As locations go, this is truly a magnificent spot and it is apparently one of the highest hotels in the United Kingdom. Not surprising when you discover that the venue is just a few miles south of the famous Glenshee Ski resort area.

For the Bride looking to host a classic Scottish wedding, you would struggle to find a better place in terms of romantic location and character. The venue can cope with weddings from the smallest intimate affair, right up to parties of 70 people. The 17 bedroom hotel also offers ample space for the bridal party to unwind after an energetic ceilidh.

The wedding ceremony can be held at the nearby Kirk of Glenshee or at the hotel itself either in the Drawing Room or on the spacious front lawn.

The scottish castle boasts beautiful grounds that extend to 6500 acres and which include tennis courts, walking trails, and even a 9 hole golf course. Mountain bikes and four wheel drive estate tours can also be arranged.

The last thing that makes a wedding venue truly special is its customer service. In the brief time I was at Dalmunzie, the owner, Brianna Poole, made a special effort to say hello and her staff were very attentive. I also witnessed how Brianna and her staff attended to a previous day’s wedding party, and I was very impressed by their customer focus and attention to detail.

Lastly, as a wedding photographer the location offers a wonderful backdrop with lots of outdoor and indoor locations to work with.

So if you have yet to decide on your wedding venue, and are looking to experience a real Scottish Castle Wedding, why not give Brianna at Dalmunzie Castle a call. The hotel also has a lot to offer the overseas bride and groom who may be considering a Wedding in Scotland.
