Our clients seem to produce very beautiful babies; they are very clever that way! Back in the summer of 2009, we were photographing Jenny and Jeremy’s lovely relaxed wedding day at Culcreuch Castle. Their adorable baby Jura (as gorgeous as her name) arrived this summer and Jenny brought her in to meet us on a trip up to Scotland from London. She smiled the whole time which we chatted and drank tea and Mark grabbed a few snaps.
We have had many occasions at weddings to work with the lovely Alexis Miller. Alexis has been a professional make-up and hair artist since 2001. Fifteen weeks ago, her gorgeous son Freddie entered this world and we were honoured last week to have the opportunity to capture some of his many lovely facial expressions. Freddie is quite choosy about who he displays his smiles for at this young age so they are even more special when they appear!
When families enquire about our portrait photography, we explain we offer two types. We have a studio and can offer more formal photography sessions but most of our clients opt for an environmental portrait. On this type of portrait booking, the personality, fun and laughter of kids can be completely captured. This is our favourite sort of photography. The McIntyre family were brilliantly gung ho – not scared of a little rain or mud and I think the photographs speak for themselves on how much fun was had.
Mark met up with Jan and Adam not so long ago for a portrait shoot at a location in East Lothian that has great sentimental value to Jan. As she told us ” I used to go here to be alone or run, or just wander around in peace.”
Mark photographed Jan and Adam’s wedding a few weeks later at the amazing Mansfield Traquair and Jan thought that a pre-wedding portrait shoot might help her relax in their actual wedding pics. Jan says “anyone with concerns about how they will photograph should definitely try this – we had a great time.” They told us they loved their images are here are some of our favourites from the shoot:

Mark recently met up with Lisa and Robert and took a few relaxed shots of the two of them in advance of their wedding in August at the Royal College of Physicians. The couple chose the location for their pre-wedding shoot as it was a place Rob went to a lot as a boy, but more importantly it was where he proposed!! Robert and Lisa are both from Edinburgh and loved having the stunning view across Edinburgh out as far as across to Fife while still feeling out in the countryside.
Lisa told us she thought the images were “gorgeous”. As added, “the light meant we couldn’t get too many shots across the view of Edinburgh but in amongst the trees was magical, I felt like the fairies that live at the end of the garden.”
Here are some of our favourites:
