My aim at weddings is to produce a wide mix of formal and informal wedding photographs as this gives the couple, their families and friends the widest possible choice.
I photograph weddings of all sizes and types at locations in central Scotland. Please speak to me well in advance if you might want me as your photographer. ( For more information: Click here on albums and answers to common questions )
A Christmas Wedding
Individual and Group Portraits from a Summer Wedding in Glasgow
Most couples I work with choose a mixture of formal and informal shots and pictures of themselves, families and close friends. Some people can completely change their minds about what they want when they see the proofs so a wide choice is advantageous. Couples who initially want candid shots will often include some more formal shots in the album for example. Parents, family and friends often want different pictures from the couple and so I always try to have them in the proof disc.

I will try to photograph anything the couple considers relevant to the wedding day. The little wedding thumbnails above we all taken at on wedding days in Stirlingshire and Glasgow. Your range of proof pictures might include, the bride beforehand or guests arriving, the groom waiting for the bride before start of the ceremony, pictures during the ceremony (if I am allowed to take those), signing the marriage schedule, portraits of the bride and groom together and on their own, picture of the bride and groom with the witnesses, group pictures of the couple and their families afterwards, and individual friend, couple or family portraits. For some couples I have provided personalised invitation or 'thank you' card prints or designs as shown above.
Colour, Monochrome or Tinted Prints: Your Choice
You can have album or display prints in black and white or have a mixture with some in colour if you wish. If you want your album in colour but also like black and white portraits you can include these in the wedding photography package and have them for framing or as thank you gifts. All album packages now include some display prints for framing.
Things I do not do at weddings
Boss people around
Jump about and take lots of flash pictures during the ceremony
Ask you do things you are uncomfortable with
Take more of your time after the ceremony than you want to allocate
Coerce guests to have their pictures taken against their wishes
Take the couple away from the guests for a long period
Make you late for the meal or drinks reception
Be unpleasant to guests taking their own pictures
Disappear early

I am happy to take any type of shot that you want whether they are conventional or not. However I do like to know in advance so that I can plan what I am going to do and allocate some time for your requests. I use a wedding photography 'wish list' to give you a range of suggestions of shots that I will try to obtain. You can add or subtract from my suggestions.
