Denis and Stevan’s Civil Partnership at Balbirnie House Hotel

Last month saw us at the stunning wedding venue of Balbirnie House, which is located in the village of Markinch, Fife, for Denis and Stevan’s Civil Partnership.

Denis is Irish and a contingent of friends and family were flying in from the Emerald Isle, so I knew this was going to be a fun wedding and it certainly proved to be. The wit and wisdom of the Irish “craic” was never far away and the speeches were some of the funniest and heart-felt that I’ve heard.

Later that day news started to filter through the wedding party that flights from Scotland back to Ireland were being disrupted due to the volcanic ash cloud situation.  Did that dampen their spirits – not one bit!

Meanwhile, the staff at Balbirnie House clearly demonstrated why they are one of the most popular wedding and civil partnership venues in Scotland, with fantastic customer service throughout the day.

As a venue, Balbirnie House offers a great backdrop for wedding photography and Denis and Stevan were absolutely delighted with their photographs.

Here is an extract of an email I received from the guys after they received their images:

“We are delighted with the pictures they are amazing worth every penny, we have watched the slideshow three times in a row now laughing and crying through it each time. A big thank you for all the hard work you put into them we couldn’t be more happy.“

Thanks guys it was a pleasure.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day:-

P.S. Apologies for the lack of blog updates lately – we had a two week holiday in Crete recently followed very rapidly with a trip over to Tuscany, so it’s all been a little bit manic at this end.  Normal service has now resumed however, so watch out for more blog updates as we play catch-up on the website.

P.P.S. Another reason for the lack of blog updates is I have been engrossed with my new Apple iPad.  It is absolutely awesome and a gadget lover’s dream device.  I went for the 32GB iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G.  I can see lots of areas where I can use this in my photography business (well that’s my excuse anyway). If you haven’t seen one yet, get yourself along to an Apple Store.  This also reminds me that I need to tweak a couple of the areas on this website, particularly the portfolio area to ensure it is indeed iPad (and iPhone) friendly – watch this space…
