Pre-Wedding Photoshoot – Laura and Ollie (and introducing Sam)

They say you should never work with children or animals, and in recent weeks I’ve worked with both.

For my latest pre-wedding photoshoot, Stirling-based couple Laura and Ollie had asked me if they could bring along their dog Sam. I was more than happy to oblige (although I must admit to a little trepidation). I’d never considered myself a pet photographer, but fortunately it all worked out fine, and Sam proved to be an absolute star.

Laura and Ollie are getting married in July 2010 at Logie Kirk in Stirling and then on to Stirling Management Centre, in the grounds of Stirling University, for their wedding reception.

For their pre-wedding photographs we headed up to Bridge of Allan Reservoir on the outskirts of Stirling, a favourite dog-walking spot for the couple, and an excellent location for photography.

Although nervous at first Sam soon settled down in front of the camera and as you can see from these images, was very quickly vying to steal the limelight away from Laura and Ollie.

Of course we can’t have the Scottish countryside without a little rain, but it all turned out well and we had a wonderful photoshoot resulting in some stunning images.
