Last Sunday saw the official start of our 2010 wedding season with a Pre-Wedding photoshoot for Nicola and Paul.
It’s fair to say that Scotland has had an interesting Winter so far this year, so the weather was always at the back of our mind when planning this particular shoot.
Nicola and Paul elected to have their photoshoot in Edinburgh’s fabulous Royal Botanic Gardens – the idea being that if the heaven’s opened we could get inside the famous Glasshouses for some shelter.
As luck would have it, the rain stayed away for most of the time and we managed to do all our shots outside.
Although I’m sure we would all like to have a nice sunny day when getting our photographs taken, you can see from this set that you can still get lovely colourful shots even on a dull overcast day, just like it was last Sunday.
Nicola and Paul will be using the shots from this session to be made up into a custom designed Wedding Guest Book – we will also make up some cool Moo cards which will feature their pictures and the website address where their guests will be able to view their final wedding pictures.
The couple’s big day is just a couple of weeks away now and will be held at the Orocco Pier in South Queensferry. Orocco Pier is a fabulous wedding venue with its stunning location between the two Forth Bridges and its own little private beach area, so we’re really looking forward to this one.
I’m off to check the tide timetables to see if we can get them down onto the Beach. Okay, I know it’s still the middle of Winter but we’re hardy us Scots, don’t you know!
