Pre-Wedding Photoshoot – Margaret and Stuart

A few days ago I loaded up a sneak peak of the pre-wedding photoshoot with Margaret and Stuart – here are some more images from the shoot.

The location for this photoshoot was North Third Reservoir which lies up in the hills just South of Stirling in Central Scotland.  This was where Stuart originally proposed to Margaret so it was an ideal location.  Stuart did however propose at the top of the cliffs you can see in these photos – However, I think he took one look at me and figured it might be safer for us to take the low road and head for the waters edge rather than consider the potential danger that he might have to carry me (and my camera equipment) back to the car. Wise choice.

Weather is always a potential concern for an outdoor photoshoot in Scotland, but whilst it had been threatening rain all day, it stayed dry and we even got got a few rays of gorgeous evening sunshine.

The other problem us Scottish Wedding Photographers have to contend with now and again is the mighty Scottish midge (aka mosquito).  The midges and horseflies were rampant that day and I have the bites to prove it.  I also had to clone a few of the little flying beasties out of these shots, and ditch more than a few out of focus shots as I wafted the little blighters away.

Fortunately all ended well and we had a fabulous photoshoot with great results.  Margaret and Stuart are having a Marquee wedding next year in Kippen near Stirling, Central Scotland.  Let’s hope the midges give us a little peace that day.
