Michelle Christie and Craig Anderson get married in July. They chose Dunrobin Castle for their pre wedding shoot. The pre wedding shoot is a great way to get used to the camera and get a feel for what it will be like on the day. Usually great fun – although it absolutely bucketed down this day!
A return to one of my favourite ever venues, Glasgow University Chapel for this wedding. I love the buildings there, and had a lot of fun there exactly one year ago to the very day of this one! Getting married there were Gamen Ho and Kevin McCabe. The couple are originally from the area but are currently living in Australia. The day began with Gamen and her party getting ready at Glenskirkie Castle, which was the reception venue as well. It was a very wet and dull day, and I don’t think it stopped raining at any stage. Luckily we had great venues, so there were loads of amazing spots to shoot under cover. The couple were fantastic to work with and seing them enjoy the shoot so much, certainly brought out the best in me as well. It was a really fun day from start to finish. A big thank you to Supernova Events who were fantastic throughout the entire day, making sure everything looked great, ran smoothly, and more importantly – that I got fed
This was an amazing day despite the weather and I was so pleased to be part of it.
I was delighted to have no less than six finalists in this years Scottish BIPP awards. Unfortunately no winners this year, but delighted with runner up in portrait, thrid place in wedding and runner up in press and PR, as well as overall third place in Scottish Photographer of the Year, for the overall across all of the categories.

The Northern Nashville Country Music Club held their annual festival in Caithness over Easter weekend. It was yet another massive success and complete sell out, which is a superb effort. It’s great to see an event so well supported up here every year.
There were a load of well known acts present from all over the world, with a strong Texas contingent there this year, including Gene Watson, Justin Trevino and Tony Booth, as well as local bands including Manson Grant & The Dynamos, The Kate Bain Band, and of course the big attraction on the Sunday evening – The Jacks.
I covered Friday evening and Sunday. Here are a selection of pictures from the parts I did.
Dalcross Castle was the location for the engagement photography shoot with Jennifer Fraser and Niall Farquhar. The couple get married at Dalcross Castle in August, and I am lucky to be doing their wedding photography there. It was a stunning day, but very cold. It was my first time at Dalcross castle and it really is a stunning location for wedding photography, so I am looking forward to going back later this year to shoot the wedding!
I recently did an engagement photoshoot, or pre-wedding shoot, at Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness with Alyson and Jim, who’s wedding photography I am doing later this month. It was a really beautiful day at Loch Ness and we did some shots at Alyson’s parents farm, before heading out to a couple of other locations we hope to use on the day of their wedding.
I was at Wick Assembly Rooms at the weekend for an amazing gig by Jon Fratelli the former frontman of The Fratellis who had some huge hits a few years ago. I really enjoy shooting live bands, as a big music fan, and find it a real buzz getting close to the action. I was never a big fan of The Fratellis, so wasn’t sure how it would be, but I have to say the new solo material Jon has produced is absolutely brilliant. One of the best, if not the best, gigs I’ve been to locally. The support were local band The Outlanders.
Fashion photo shoot, Inverness Ramada Encore.
I was recently commissioned to shoot some PR shots for a forthcoming fashion show in Inverness. The charity show, which is being run by The Glue Group will take place in September. The shoot involved a dress made entirely from ties.
The images cannot be shown yet, but here is a sneak preview
I was lucky enough to be commissioned to photograph the local National Lottery Thunderball winners in Wick recently. Alastair and Isobel Cameron scooped £500,000 on the draw and were at Wick railway Station to receive their cheque. A lovely couple, and so good to see deserving winners.
