Dreaming of Piha.
Does anyone else head to the ocean for total escapism? Even at night I find it totally calming. Where’s your happy place?
Nothing makes me happier than seeing two people who are 100% meant to be together, being together. The last shot of the night after an incredible day. Phil & Lauren. The perfect match. Thank you to my lovely and ever so talented friend @euanrphoto and @ericronaldphoto for helping me push my flash skills to the next level.
The ever so lovely Phil + Lauren
I was @dalduffbarn on Wednesday for the absolutely flipping incredible wedding Phil and Lauren. These two and their families literally brought tears to my eyes. Never I had met such a wonderfully kind, caring and utterly in love couple. This was clearly testament to their lovely families. Is calsberg did families. #dvlop
Something a little different from me today as I play around with off camera flash. It’s fun to push yourself out of your comfort zone and have a bit of fun. When I was at art school my photography tutor told me there was no place for photoshop in photography. Wow how times have changed. Somewhere at night in a dark barn in Scotland....
It was my first wedding back after having a baby in December and it was an absolute belter to start the year off. Phil and Susie got married @thecowshedcrail which is an amazing old converted Cow Shed (if you hadn’t guessed) in Crail on the East coast of Scotland. Crail is a place where I spent a lot of my childhood so is close to my heart. The Cow Shed has so much to offer with cool atmospheric buildings, and incredible stunning surrounding scenery. It’s a definite favourite of mine. Phil and Susie came over from Belfast to get married and were up to the challenge of clambering up huge rocks to get some gorgeous photos. My kind of couple! The day was perfect all thanks to a fantastic venue, awesome suppliers, stunning weather, a brilliant couple with fantastic family and friends. A massive congratulations to you both! What a flipping amazing wedding!
Celebrating strong women everywhere. I know so many incredible women, Mother’s, business owners, supportive sisters, wife’s, friends, aunts. Some who have fought or who are fighting unthinkable and heart breaking battles. To those women, I admire you, support you and send so much of my love to you. To the women in my life that make me stronger, thank you. I appreciate you greatly. To my daughter. My head strong, determined little piece of dynamite, please always stay this way and you will achieve great things.
I’m lucky enough to be part of an awesome collective of wonderful like minded people who take on weddings with a creative, artistic and alternative approach. Next Sunday The Wedding Collective will be running a wedding fair at The biscuit factory in Edinburgh. I’ll be there to chat to any couples wanting natural, candid imagery from their wedding day, and anyone else who just wants to say hello and have a natter. I like to chat. 11am-3pm. The Biscuit Factory, Edinburgh.
Although all this snow is absolutely beautiful, it really is, being stuck inside with three very young children isn’t that much fun. Where we are the snow comes up to my daughter’s chest. I’m dreaming of where we were this time last year. Dreaming of the blue skies, waves, sand and heat. Scotland you have shown us some beautiful excitement. Now for the sake of all of us parents with tiny humans and everyone else wanting to get anywhere can you start pathing the way for summer now please.
Guess the movie.....
Beautiful beach vides on a cold Saturday. How did it become February already. Springs creeping closer, woho. Who’s looking forward to summer? I am! I’ve always struggled a wee bit with winter. I know lots of people don’t like it but I really struggle through the dark evenings and dark mornings. Everyone close to me always said I was born in the wrong country. I need sun, sea and sand....and a bit of surf please. This image from Tynningham beach is making me smile. Alex and Lou’s wedding was @harvestmoonholidays with @thehighlandtipicompany and it was amazing. Happy weekend everyone.
“Nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It's easy. All you need is love.” I’ve had an old school music listening day today. It’s good for the soul! I’m still swooning over Andy and Nicole’s engagement shoot photos in Elie.
Calling all New Zealand couples. I will be in New Zealand (North Island but would come south) in the New Year and would love to photograph a wedding while I’m over. If you know anyone getting married or know of anyone give me a shout. This was taken on Piha beach of the most flipping lovely couple Kim and Dave. One of my fav engagement shoots I’ve done. Beach, city or country weddings I love them all! New Zealand (and OZ) 2019!
Has anyone ever been to Nielsen Park in Sydney before? It’s amazing! If your in Sydney make the trip. I was lucky enough to photograph Jo and Greys wedding there last year. It has a gorgeous beach and amazing walks with incredible views over the city. My heart hurts a little looking back on these photos because I Miss Oz so much right now. An amazing venue with one of the loveliest couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Anyone getting married in Sydney in the new year and would like me to photograph your wedding? Get in touch to make me one happy camper.
If you are swithering about having a wedding on the beach in Scotland do it. Come rain or shine thy are magical. But I would say that as I do love a beach. This was Alex and Lou’s incredible wedding on Tynningham beach. Swoon.
Rainy day love.
Dusk light in Sydney. I’d give anything to shoot weddings in this light all the time.
