Jayne & Owen – Dalserf Church & Dundas Castle

Jayne & Owen put so much time and effort into making their wedding day extra special, and boy did it pay off! From the helicopter ride across the Central Belt to the fireworks in the evening, it was a fantastic day full of fun and laughter.

My day began in Lanarkshire with the girls…

Jayne looked radiant…
Something blue…
…something Choo.

Meanwhile, Jay was with our very excited groom…

Blue steel…
The ceremony took place at Dalserf Church, which Owen and his family have very strong ties with.
Jayne arrived at the church in a Rolls Royce Phantom. Owen works for Aston Martin and is very into cars! 
Another great car… 
So happy together…
Jayne, Owen and the bridal party travelled in style to Dundas. 
Where we had time to go exploring before the guests arrived…
After our photo time, the guests were treated to some great speeches in the castle.
Then it was on to the pavilion, where a fantastic meal awaited.  
The tables were named after favourite writers.
And Jayne and Owen used one of the photos from our pre-wedding shoot to create these personalised whisky favours.
Double trouble! 
And then a surprise was in store for the guests…
Then it was back to the party, where everyone was having a lot of fun with the photo booth!

The Riffreshers were incredible! 
And this was definitely a first for us – go Owen!
A beautiful day was drawing to an end…
And a new one was about to begin…

Claire, Sandy & Charlie

We photographed Claire & Sandy’s gorgeous Northumberland farm wedding last spring, and were thrilled when we heard they’d become the proud parents of a baby boy. We caught up with them at their new home this week and tried to keep up with Charlie as he took us on a whirlwind tour of a few of his favourite things –  apples, farming and his lab, Horatio.

Claire & Sandy – It was lovely to see you again and to meet Charlie, he’s such a great little character and we loved photographing him. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Love the pictures, can’t wait to see the rest. Really good to see you again the other day. Once again you’ve come up trumps!!

Amanda & Mark – Lennoxlove House

Mark and Amanda’s closest friends and family travelled from all over the world to join them at Lennoxlove House for a day to remember. Regular visitors to our blog will know that Lennoxlove is one of our favourite venues, and it was great to be back there.

The girls were relaxing with a bottle of wine when we caught up with them in their suite.
Amanda looked absolutely beautiful…
Mark and the boys were chilling in their own way…
You can take the boys out of New Zealand but…
Amanda and Mark were married in the undercroft, which was wonderfully atmospheric.
The bridal party strike a pose under a stormy sky…
Then we went exploring…
Two phrases are guaranteed to earn you lifetime membership of Team Elemental. Firstly – “The photos are our top priority as they are all we will have left after the wedding” and “Anything you like, you’re the professionals.” To add context, Amanda and Mark said both of these after we led them away from the beautiful castle grounds, through a car park and into the woods. And boy do we love them for it!  

Then it was on to Lennoxlove’s Great Hall, which looked incredible…
Best man Jason had us in stitches all day. Needless to say, his speech was very funny…
While the band set up, we managed to sneak in a few more photos… 
And then Amanda and Mark opened the dancing.  They told us they hadn’t practised, in which case they are natural born movers! 
Everyone was totally up for the ceilidh and hit the dancefloor with such enthusiasm – we were seriously impressed! 

It took us three attempts to get this light graffiti photo just right and Amanda and Mark were such stars, holding still as statues while Jay ran around them with a torch. We hope you love it guys!

Love is all you need…

Amanda & Mark – Thank you for inviting us to share in your wonderful celebration, for being so into the photography and for giving it 110%. We loved creating these photos for you and hope you have the best time reliving the day through them! C & J x

Thank you so much Jay and Christina for capturing the best day of my life. Mark and I love the photos and really capture the essence of the day – we can’t wait to see the final album! xx

That last photo – WOW. Stunning.

Armands - August 25, 2010 - 2:48 pm

Nice work. Looks like venue has a nice daylight bouncing around. Lot’s of light to create stunning images.
Veil shot over the shoulder is verrry nice, love it.
Light graffiti is kind a cool, was wondering how this was looking in color. Those lights at the back, is it just street lights or you just added a flash in the shots?
Once again, great images. Your wedding photography rocks.

Katie & Steven’s engagement shoot

On Sunday evening we headed up to Perthshire for an engagement shoot with Katie and Steven. They’d picked some fantastic locations, including a stone circle (Steven has a background in archaeology and knows all the best spots!), and the light was incredibly beautiful.

Here are a few favourites…
