Gemma and Jon, King's Head Hotel, Richmond, August 2011

2012-01-26T13:51:00.000+01:00

What we love is when a couple drops us a line, and they completely "get" our style, and we completely "get" the vibe of their wedding and lo and behold, a few months later, we're spending the day with them and taking amazing pictures of their amazing ideas. Gemma & Jon's wedding is the perfect example of this, a day packed with plenty details and love for us to point our cameras at. This wedding was blogged recently over at Love My Dress, where you can read Annabel's interview with Gemma and get all the inside info on the other suppliers. Enjoy.

Marnie & Scott, Gartocharn Millenium Hall, August 2011

2012-01-26T13:45:00.000+01:00

Fabulous dress, fabulous weather and a fabuluous couple all combined to make this brilliant wedding. The view out of the reception hall was really pretty special as was the welcome we had inside. Keen eyed readers may spot shots from their engagement shoot which they used for table decorations.

Gemma and Jon, Pre-wedding Shoot

Last August we headed south to Yorkshire for Gemma & Jon's vintage wedding in the incredibly lovely town of Richmond. It poured rain for the pre-shoot so we were kept indoors - stay tuned next week for sunny shots from the wedding.

Gareth & Catherine, Glasgow Art Club

Mirrorbox designed CD covers using photographs from Gareth & Catherine's pre-wedding shoot

Back in the Summer we had the privilege of shooting Gareth and Catherine's wedding at the Glasgow Art Club. The Art club is such a fantastic venue with a real old gentleman's club vibe. This really suited the laid back feel to the day. The girls from Butler & Taylor cranked up some tunes on the gramophone during the cocktail hour and also provided the lovely vintage crockery on the tables. We designed Gareth and Catherine's favours using photographs from their pre-wedding shoot (which you can see here) to make CD covers containing a disc with all their favourite tracks.Both Gareth and Catherine are singers so music featured heavily throughout the day. Catherine sang to Gareth during the ceremony which had most guests, including Gareth, in tears. Later into the evening the dancing started off with Le Fleur by Minnie Ripperton then descended into a rowdy ceilidh. The evening ended with Catherine singing with her sister, which once again had everyone in floods of emotional, happy tears.

Emma & Richard got married back in August in the West End of Glasgow, surrounded by friends, family & so much love. It was a real privilege to share the day with them. Just look at how happy they look in every picture... A very good day at the office for these wedding photographers.

Lesley-Anne & Bartek, 2nd July, Poland

2011-10-31T12:46:00.000+01:00

This was our first ever destination wedding in the beautiful Lublin country side near Warsaw. As it turns out Polish weddings are pretty similar to our own, what with the church ceremony and then on to a venue to celebrate. What is different is the full on celebratory vibe to the whole day. There are so many different elements, ceremonial bread giving from the bride and grooms parents, smashing of glasses, present giving, lantern lighting, games and of course copious amounts of food and vodka. The food kept coming all day and night, people were still tucking into sausages at 2am. And to wash it all down, 85 litres of vodka!

Stuart & Siobhan, Pollockshaws Burgh Hall, 16th July 2011

2011-10-31T11:35:00.000+01:00

Stuart and Siobhan are both really into music and really wanted it to be a big part of their wedding day. During the ceremony after being reduced to tears by some hilarious anecdotes about Stuart & Siobhan by the celebrant, the best man and a friend treated guests to a rendition of Love Me Tender and everyone joined in with fervour. After a small family dinner at Fanny Trollops in Glasgow's west end we headed to Universal for some speeches, belly dancing and a set by Stuart's band Red Bee Society. After the dancing was well under way Siobhan hit the decks with a knock out 80's set which set the ball rolling into the wee small hours, I am told.

Morven and Ali, Ardross Community Hall, 23rd July 2011

2011-10-17T12:04:00.000+02:00

As you may have noticed from the date of this wedding, we're working our way through a bit of a blogging backlog after a very busy summer. One of the nice things about blogging a July wedding in October is how all the details come rushing back having been packed away for a few months. On a day like today (pouring with rain, slate skies, biting wind) I can't quite believe that we actually did get to shoot photos of a golden cornfield and see a sunset after 9 at night. It was one of the rare beautiful summer days - we watched Morven pick flowers from her garden, took a walk in the woods after the ceremony, listened to live Scottish folk music as kids ran around outside in the evening. I don't want to ramble on too much here, because I think the pictures speak for themselves and should give you a hint of just how much we enjoyed spending the day with Morven & Ali. One small thing to note though - the cake decorations match the Liberty print table-cloths. Who ever made that deserves a round of applause.

Bob & Jo - Gean House, 6th August 2011

2011-10-07T15:08:00.002+02:00

Though they both live in London, Bob & Jo wanted to return to Bob's home country for their wedding. Gean House is a really special venue - it doesn't just have beautiful light and lush grounds to explore, there's a cool story behind it too. It was built almost exactly 100 years ago as a wedding present from a father to his son, quite a spectacular way to celebrate romance I reckon. Bob is a graphic designer and they both put plenty of thought into the details of the day. You may notice he provided some handy Scots-English translations for all the visitors from south of the border. Also, note the beautiful flowers arranged by the fabulous Lotte & Bloom. LOVE the little white pumpkins... Late in the evening we set up the photobooth, stay tuned next Friday when we'll bring you some candid shots of people fooling around in front of us.

Plenty of fun was had with Craig & Laura on their pre-wedding shoot. Mad props to Craig for his extravagant jumping style, perhaps even madder props to Laura for not flinching each time I asked him to jump over her head. Why the airmail envelope? Craig's a pilot, you see. More of their aeronautical-theme when we post their wedding shots here soon.

Debbie and David, West Park Farm, 16th July 2011

2011-09-26T17:10:00.001+02:00

This wedding was a real family affair - Debbie & David were married by a member of the family and the ceremony took place on her uncle's farm. Check out all the matching colour details on each table... must have taken ages but the finished affect made this a colourful and creative wedding. Drama on the day came courtesy of a freak storm and localised flooding with held up both the bride & groom on the way to the wedding. Luckily they didn't run into each other while they waited to get through the flash floods in Perth.

Rowana and Sandy, 15th July 2011, Cromlix House

2011-09-02T15:34:00.000+02:00

There were so many highlights at this wedding it's been hard to choose images for this post... hence the mammoth size. For a start there's the venues - Dunblane Cathedral & Cromlix House are both pretty darn impressive and full of photo-opportunities. Then there's the attention to detail in keeping with the 'village fete' vibe. And, for a finale they treated us to a choreographed swing dance and all their mates crowded into our photobooth for some, shall we say, extroverted photos at the end of the night.

Lorna & Giorgos, Houston House, 18th June 2011

2011-08-17T14:02:00.002+02:00

Greco-Scottish relations were strengthened back in June with the wedding of Lorna & Giorgios. Though they both lived in Greece they returned to the bride's homeland for the wedding, bringing a large contingent of Greek revellers with them. There were plenty of details from both countries incorporated in their wedding - a violinist & piper both played traditional Scottish tunes during the day and guests were treated to jars of homemade lemon curd made from fruit grown in the couple's own garden back in Greece. Not to mention the fact that one of the best men translated all the speeches so every guest could enjoy them - though we suspect he may have embellished the jokes a bit as they got much louder laughs in Greek than in the original English...

Abby & Dave, St Andrews University, 17th June 2011

2011-08-04T15:32:00.000+02:00

In addition to being the centre of worldwide media attention following a certain Royal Wedding, St Andrews also played host this year to the wedding of Abby & Dave. Though they now live in Chicago, Dave is a Fife native and studied at the university a few years back. A great many of the guests flew in from the States, getting to sample a typically Scottish summer first hand. We witnessed the phenomenon of a Scottish wedding with a Scottish groom, taking place in Scotland with nary a kilt in sight. There was however traditional music played on a set of digital bagpipes which, let me tell you, are much kinder on the ears in an enclosed reception hall. We found it hard to pick our favourite images from such a good day at work so please enjoy this larger-than-usual post.

Claire & Grant, Anstruther Town Hall, 11th June 2011

2011-07-25T15:21:00.002+02:00

When we first met Claire & Grant back in the depths of winter last year we were bowled over by all the ideas for their wedding. When the day itself came round this June, all the details were in place for a great day full of photo opportunities. Check out how amazing the hall looks, decorated by Claire & Grant with the help of their family and friends. There was so much for us to shoot - vintage tablewear, bunting, cool favours, table names... not to mention a big ol' Mr & Mrs sign arrayed across the stage. OK, the weather didn't play the game - yep, more rain - but the fab VW Camper Van came into its own as a location for a shoot, not to mention the balcony of the hall where we did a quick couple shoot unbeknownst to their guests below. One of the highlights of the day was a mass sing-along to the first dance, 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' by Starship. People just can't help themselves from joining in with a soft-rock anthem and soon the dancefloor was teeming with would-be rock stars promising to 'build this dream together'.
