The event took place at George Heriots school and was compered by the tireless Grant Stott. There were some 50 models from young to old, and a huge range of [...]

Byte Night Scotland

Tonight I’m going to be photographing (and blogging about) Byte Night Scotland . This is a charity event in aid of Action for Children where several teams of IT professionals will be spending the night sleeping under the stars in Holyrood Park. Think of it as “Geeks in sheets”! All of the teams are sponsored [...]

This is an article reproduced from my main site. I wrote this in response to a question I was asked at a Wedding Fair. At wedding fairs I’m often asked how a couple should go about choosing their photographer; often there are many photographers present, their work looks good so how do you differentiate between [...]

I have to say that the Signet Library is a pretty stunning venue; breathtaking in fact – surely one of Scotland’s hidden gems. I [...]

OK it’s November but what a beautiful morning! As I head up to the George Hotel it’s crisp, clear and sunny. The trees still wear their autumnal colours and the pavements are carpeted in gold, bronze, auburn and yellow. When I met the girls in the hotel there was a buzz of excitement and anticipation.

Anna & Fraser

We headed off to Hopetoun House for Anna and Fraser’s pre-wedding shoot. What an impressive sight to behold! No not Fraser, a stunning, imposing building in a sweeping estate. Courtyards, fountains, staircases, colonnades. Incredible. I wasn’t so sure about the “Tiger Room” and I’m sure you can guess who lives (lived) there. It’ll be a [...]

Neil & Elizabeth

I photographed Neil and Elizabeth’s re-commitment ceremony in two amazing locations; The Witchery and Edinburgh Castle. The rooms in Witchery are incredibly plush and decorative and having lovely window light adds to the atmosphere of the place; great for photographing the detail of the day. Edinburgh Castle I’m sure we all know but a fabulous [...]

Rosie’s Party

I’ve been photographing young Rosie since she was a baby and I was invited along to photograph her 4th birthday – a princesses and princes party. However there was just one prince – poor fella – but he seemed to accept it pretty quickly! After doing so many weddings and portraits this year it was [...]

Jen & Ian

This is the Wedding of Jen and Ian at Cramond Kirk and the George Hotel. It’s a lovely little church in a quaint setting and is a perfect setting for a wedding. Jen looked stunning in her beautiful dress and looked quite the part turning up in one of the most impressive Rolls I’ve ever [...]
