Turquoise, Twigs and Beer : Steph and Tom's Woodland themed wedding

I'm really pleased today, to be able to share some photos from Tom and Steph's wedding in September last year. For those of you not aware, Tom is the genius behind my logo design. So I was over the moon when I was able to give him and Steph my photography skills at his wedding.

Tom and Steph got married at West, the brewery in Glasgow. Theirs was a very personalised wedding - they decided early on that they wanted to have a turquoise theme, and as a pair of self-confessed nature geeks, they wanted a natural theme running through their wedding.

Tom and Steph were also keen to make it a day which was very much all about them. Tom designed the invites (below), and they chose West as their venue, which as well as being next to Glasgow Green where we went for the photos, suited them as a brewery and a restaurant. They also decided not to do things that they felt weren't reflective of them: the meal was a very relaxed barbeque, with no formal place sittings; they didn't have a first dance or speeches. Steph added some handcrafted items, she made gorgeous birds and bunting to decorate their wedding with. The cake, which was frankly amazing, was designed to reflect their theme, and based on their wedding invites. I was also thrilled that Steph had her dress made by fantastic Glasgow based wedding dress designer, Flossy and Dossy.
 



Photographing this wedding was an absolute pleasure - it really had so many things that as a photographer, excited my photographic senses! Congratulations to Tom and Steph, and thanks very much for letting me be a part of your big day. I'd also like to say a big thanks to Zoe Campbell, who was my sharp-eyed second shooter on the day.

Second Shooter: Norton House Hotel

Back in the summer, I met a photographer from Stirling, called Zoe Campbell. We had lunch and coffee, and got along like the proverbial house on fire. As we were both at around similar stages of our career, we decided to do some second shooting for each other at weddings we had coming up.

Zoe assisted me first, in September (the photographs of which, I will blog about soon). Then in October, it was my turn to play 2nd shooter to Zoe, as she had a wedding at Norton House Hotel, with Chris and Laura.

It was an interesting situation to be in. I'd assisted photographers before while I was at college and been a 2nd shooter, but this was my first time back in the passenger seat since I'd established my own business.

Zoe had been brilliant when she'd been my 2nd shooter, so I was keen to repay the favour.

She's since blogged about it herself, so I thought today I'd post my photographs from the day.


With thanks to Zoe Campbell Photography, and Chris and Laura for allowing me to be part of their special day.
