Coyla & Tim - Wedding @ Grandview Gardens

I have been waiting and waiting for a bride with red shoes.......finally, along she comes, but she didn't just have red shoes, she had .....wait for it..... red BOOTS (even better!!). Already Coyla has impressed me no end, but wait there's more.....Coyla is Scottish. Way, way back I have Scottish connections too, I can even lay claim to having a family tartan, so now I was even more excited about this wedding, RED boots, kilts, piped music and Scottish thistles.....och aye it was a bonnie wee wedding!!

Tim and Coyla had their first date at Nova - meeting for drinks which worked so well that it led to dinner at Alibi. Eventually this was followed by a proposal at Two Chefs with an engagement ring served with dessert - SO romantic......apparently the chocolate brownie has since been frozen as a momento.

I wish Tim and Coyla all the very best and I'm so happy that they found each other. Thanks for sharing your amazing day with me, for the best mannered kids I've had the pleasure to work with and for the funniest best man - you just can't beat a good Irish accent, thanks Merv for keeping us all entertained. A special mention should also go to Sara, the bridesmaid, who in spite of being less than a week away from her due date of giving Coyla a new niece or nephew, fulfilled her bridesmaidly duties fantastically. Merv the best man was well prepared with towels and a jug for boiling water should the need arise - which thankfully it didn't. Now for some images from their day......Enjoy!!

Paula & Geoff - Wedding @ Broxburn Park.

I enjoyed Paula and Geoff's wedding so much, in fact once the cake was cut and it was time for me to go home, I really just wanted to stay.
It was one of those weddings that had lots of lovely details - loads for me to photograph, purple and green jelly beans, beautiful champagne flutes, fairy lights, cool cars and a Mickey and Minnie cake topper .......bliss!!
All of the people that are special to Paula and Geoff were involved in the ceremony - Paula's sister handed out service sheets from a basket, Paula's gorgeous daughter Casey was the junior bridesmaid and Geoff's son Nick was the MC, their best man and matron of honour were their close friends, who also happen to be, not only married to one another, but also live next door ......how cool is that? And last but by no means least, was the ring bearer - Murphy - their dog.

Paula and Geoff, thank you so much for inviting me to be your photographer. I had the best time and want to wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. 

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Kirsty & Bryce - Engagement session

I am photographing Kirsty and Bryce's wedding at Grandview Gardens in a couple of weeks, but just before Christmas I got to hang out with them at my place for their engagement portrait session. Engagement shoots are a great way for a couple to feel more relaxed about their wedding photos, get used to being in front of the camera and of course for us all to get to know each other a little better before the BIG day. Kirsty and Bryce were naturals, they have such fun together and I can't wait to photograph them on their wedding day.

Now you can see why I'm SO excited about their wedding - they are amazing to work with and just a little bit photogenic.....don't you think?
Thanks Kirsty and Bryce for a great day - hope you enjoy your sneak peek. Images will be ready early next week.
