Janine & Lees' Wedding Day

Greetings to you all, today I bring to you the beautiful story of Janine and Lee, our splendid bride and groom who hail from the charming town of Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh.

Their love story came to a beautiful crescendo at The Stair Arms Hotel in Pathhead, a location as enchanting as their tale of love.

While the weather decided to play a bit of a game and was somewhat moody, we made the most of it,

capturing some stunning portraits before the rain decided to make its appearance.

I was on-site for the entire day, making sure that every precious moment, from the bride's preparation to the couple's first dance as husband and wife, was beautifully captured.

The ceremony was a picturesque spectacle, and we ensured to capture not only the profound moments shared between Janine and Lee

but also the reactions of the guests, their smiles, and their tears of joy.

The reception was no less beautiful, with speeches that tugged at heartstrings, the ceremonial cutting of the cake,

and all the other shared moments that make a wedding day truly special.

All these moments were meticulously photographed to provide the couple with memories that will last a lifetime.

As dawn breaks on what promises to be a magnificent day, Janine, our radiant bride, is ensconced in a flurry of activity.

She and her bridal party are being meticulously primped and pampered by a cadre of beauty maestros,

all intent on ensuring she looks nothing short of a million dollars as she walks down the aisle towards her future husband, Lee.

One of our most poignant moments to capture is the first look between the bride and her father.

This emotional exchange, often filled with joy, nostalgia, and love, arouses powerful sentiments.

Envision the ceremony, buzzing with excitement and anticipation. There's a unique blend of joy and nervousness that engulfs everyone present, especially our groom, Lee.

His heart pulsates with a cocktail of emotions, hinting at a nervous excitement that is as palpable as it is contagious.

However, amidst the sea of emotions and well-wishers, it was the flower girl, Eilidh, who undoubtedly stole the show.

Her innocent charm and delightful presence added a unique flavor to the celebration.

As the ceremony concludes, the couple glowing with love and joy, it's time to immortalize these moments.

My goal is to capture their essence, their story, through portraits that will serve as timeless reminders of this beautiful day.

However, even the best-laid plans can sometimes be foiled by unexpected circumstances - like the weather.

Unfortunately, the skies weren't as cooperative as we would have liked.

The clouds were grey, and a light drizzle began to fall, forcing us to rethink our outdoor portrait session.

But, as an experienced photographer, I know how to adapt. A little rain can't dampen the spirits of a wedding day, nor can it prevent me from capturing stunning portraits.

So, we moved indoors, transforming the challenge into an opportunity for creativity and innovation.

Within the walls of The Stair Arms Hotel, we found new perspectives and backdrops for Janine and Lee's portraits.

The beautiful architecture, the soft indoor lighting, and the couple's exuberant love for each other all combined to create some truly magical images.

Where your precious memories are not just captured, but are also transformed into unique pieces of art.

By infusing creativity and passion into every wedding I photograph,

I strive to offer the bride and groom something truly different, something that will make their special day stand out.

For the past few years, I have been harnessing the power of Off Camera Flash (OCF) techniques.

This isn't your usual point-and-shoot photography. This involves strategically placed lighting, careful manipulation of shadows and highlights,

and a keen eye for the perfect shot. The result? Stunning, magazine-worthy images that beautifully encapsulate your big day.

Take, for instance, the session we had with Lee and his groomsmen. In the midst of the wedding festivities, we sneaked away for a quick session of cigar shots.

Lit only by the soft glow from the off-camera flash, their laughter and camaraderie were immortalized in a series of timeless photographs.

Now the time has come to let loose and truly celebrate - the vows have been said, the rings exchanged, and the ceremony completed. The bride and groom, after all the excitement and anticipation that has built throughout the day, can finally breathe a sigh of relief and immerse themselves in the jubilant celebrations of the evening.

I will capture every toast, all the laughs, every dance, and of course, the grand cutting of the wedding cake.

The cutting of the cake, an age-old tradition symbolizing the couple's shared future, is a moment of joy and camaraderie that deserves to be not only enjoyed but also captured perfectly.
But the night is not over yet.

With City Discos the dance floor awaits! Whether it's the couple's first dance as husband and wife or the joyous jiving of the bridesmaids and groomsmen,

these are moments of pure celebration that need to be remembered forever.
