And no, we didn’t pay them!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

What a lovely email we have just received from Donna & Warren Palacci after they received their A3 Storybook telling the story of their wedding at the Cross Kirk ruin in Peebles earlier this year.  Donna and Warren had a totally unique wedding at the Cross Kirk ruin which was founded in 1261.  They were blessed with fantastic weather (the gamble paid off since Cross Kirk has no shelter!) and then transferred for a big party to the Memorial Hall in Innerleithen which Donna had painstakingly decorated like a sumptious film set!

“Just received our album and its amazing! We love it, love it, love it. The pictures look even better(if that’s possible) in the album – the design is just superb! Been texting all our friends and family to come and have a look over the weekend. Cried when I saw some of the pictures – it just takes us back to the day like you wouldn’t believe, because the album tells the story so well. Lots of laughing, lots of emotion. Thank you so much to the both of you – the service you provide is second to none! We wish you all the luck for the future and I’m sure we’ll be in touch soon for canvas shots etc when our building site/house is ready for wall pictures.”  Donna & Warren Palacci

Thanks Donna & Warren!

Our new website and snow …

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Hello. Welcome to our new website!  I have to admit I’m not sad to see the old one go. At last I’ve got an art gallery with some of my personal work. Every year I have a couple of personal projects on the go. It’s not always easy getting time to work on them with all these blinking weddings going on (only joking!).

High on my wish list for this year is some better weather than last “summer”. The only thing we didn’t get last july was snow. Scottish weather is one of the reasons I like to work so quickly with people on a wedding day. Who wants to stand about for an hour getting cold while a photographer sticks a bunch of people into a straight line to arrange another boring old picture? As I look out of the office window today the snow is really heavy. I’m reminded of a wedding from a couple of years ago on a snowy December day at Huntingtower Castle (which has no heating). The bride was really late (nearly an hour) and by the time she arrived at the castle the guests inside had icicles hanging from their noses. The groom had to be chipped from his seat with an ice pick (it was lucky the best man had one in his sporran) in order to greet her coming down the aisle. We got some great pictures outside after some champers – thankfully it was warmer out there than in the castle.  Back in the office it took me hours to take the blue tone from the skin of the groom in photoshop.  I’m shooting a wedding at Girona Cathedral in Spain this summer – I kind of see this as a chance to thaw out!
