Another visit to one of my favourite wedding locations in the North, Dunbeath Castle, for the wedding of Diane Mackay and Grant Mackenzie. Unfortunately due to heavy rain in the morning, the couple had to make a decision on the weather and the actual ceremony had to take place at the recpetion venue, The Portland Arms, however we did get out to Dunbeath to do the photography, and the weather had cleared up by then, so it worked out okay in the end!
All good things must come to an end I guess. Most people will know only too well how much work myself and Natalie have done over the last six years. We have been best friends, soulmates, we worked together on so many amazing projects, and a lot, lot more.
Unfortunately that chapter in my life has come to an end. It’s very sad, but things change and people move on, and sometimes sacrifices are made.
It’s been an amazing journey since our very first photoshoot back in April 2005, and I have some amazing memories of this period of my life. It coincided with my business really kicking off, and awards, qualifications and all the rest, and Natalie played a huge part in making me the photographer I am today, constantly pushing me to new levels and encouraging me when I felt down or lacking in confidence. For that I will be eternally grateful.
I’ve got much more to say but will save that for my book, whenever it is written! In the meantime I have just put a wee slideshow together of some of my favourite images from the time we worked together. Nine different countries, many magazine publications, books, calendars and hundreds of photoshoots, always with a lot of fun and laughter involved.
The best model I have ever worked with by a country mile, and I wish her continued success in her modelling career.
I travelled up to Kinlochbervie, on the West Coast for Louise Hay and Adrian McBain’s pre wedding shoot. The couple get married in September, and we shot at Oldshoremore Beach, which was where Adrian proposed. It was an absolute scorcher of a day, which, as everyone knows, is not ideal for me, but we had fun and got some nice images. It’s a beautiful beach, first time I’d been there.
Two weeks ago I had a pre wedding shoot up at Oldshoremore Beach, Kinlochbervie, so rather than spend a whole day travelling, I got my official model, Natalie Oag and headed up early. We caught the Isobella from Achiltibuie and sailed around the Summer Isles before landing on the Island of Tanera Mor for an hour. What a great day it was and we got some really lovely images, which was a real buzz. I’ve just shown one for now, as the rest are for use elsewhere first.
