As most of you will recall, July was not the driest of months for Central Scotland and once again the Scottish weather was challenging to say the least, brollies were up and down on a very frequent basis.

After the ceremony it was a short drive along the foot of the Ochil Hills to the Wedding reception venue, Stirling Management Centre, which is located within the beautiful grounds of Stirling University.

Eilidh and Peter have a great sense of humour and the two of them were smiling and laughing all day long, making it a very pleasant day indeed.

Here are my own personal favourite wedding photographs from the day. Family and friends can view the rest of the photographs in our Clients Gallery.

The ceremony was held at Logie Kirk Church which is a small traditional Scottish Church (or “Kirk“) sitting in a lovely spot at the foot of the Ochil Hills in Stirling.   Sadly photographers (and videographers) are only allowed to shoot from the balcony during the main ceremony at this church, but with our long lens we were still able to get some nice photographs of the key parts of the wedding ceremony.   Then it was off to the wedding reception which was being held at Stirling Management Centre in the grounds of Stirling University.

This was yet another Anglo-French wedding, as Ollie (or Aurélien to give him his full name) hails from France.   There was a very large French contingent who made it over to Scotland for the wedding.  One of the highlights of the day was when the French ladies all burst into song with a traditional French tune apparently often sung at weddings.   Interestingly we had a similar thing happen at our recent Spanish wedding – must be a European thing – mind you I suppose we Scots do the exact same thing with a rendition of Auld Lang Syne often belted out at the end of a Wedding.

Whilst cute dog Sam wasn’t at the Wedding to upstage them, they did overlook the charms (or should I say Glasgow “patter”) of joint Best Man Eric.   Now Eric also hails from France, but has spent a few years living in Glasgow, so has the weirdest French/Glaswegian accent you have ever heard.   Eric and fellow Best Man Nico obviously put a lot of planning into their speech, even to the point of printing up large photographs and graphics to illustrate the “colourful” life of said Groom – of course we know the average Best Man will exaggerate the odd tale or two, but lets just say if Eric was made of wood he may well have a very big nose by now LOL

Anyway it was a wonderful wedding with a wonderful couple – friends and family can view the whole set of images in our clients gallery.

Here are a few of my favourite images from the day.

P.S. We are at the peak of our wedding season so I have a ton of Blog posts to catch up on, so if you have attended one of our weddings recently and are looking for the photographs but don’t see a blog post yet, head on over to the gallery and you will find the images on there. Remember we won’t post a gallery until our Bride and Grooms have seen them first, so you need to wait for them to come back from their honeymoon before they will appear in the gallery. Thank you for your patience.

P.P.S. It’s my Birthday today (the 27th) – woohoo – and Morag’s made me Millionaire Shortbread – my favourite!

Now that we are back home in Scotland, today’s blog post shows the results of the pre-wedding photoshoot I did with Eilidh and Peter just before I left on holiday.

Eilidh and Peter are getting married next July at Alloa Baptist Church and then onwards to Stirling Management Centre, which is located within the grounds of Stirling University (one of Scotland’s finest Educational establishments).  Stirling Management Centre is an excellent Wedding Venue which is often overlooked by couples in favour of the traditional hotel function suite.  So if you are planning a wedding in the Stirlingshire area, be sure to add them to you shortlist of potential venues.

I arranged to meet Eilidh and Peter at the Stirling University Campus and we took some shots in the beautiful grounds there.  Then we nipped down to the area surrounding the “new” Stirling Bridge, which links Stirling Town Centre and the Railway Station with the new part of town. This area is currently being re-developed from the remnants of the old Players Cigarette factory (how time passes!).  The pace of the re-development has been very very slow and I really feel for the businesses located over there – however it does present some excellent photography opportunities.

As a Scottish wedding photographer I am always looking for new locations and this was the first time I’d taken a couple to this particular spot and fortunately it worked out great and we got some really cool images.

Just before jumping on a plane for the States I emailed the images to Eilidh and Peter and I was very pleased to receive a lovely reply from them when I was away, saying how much they loved the photos.  Thanks guys, it was great fun taking the images and I’m really looking forward to your wedding next year.
