acts of kindness

On the stand behind us at the Scottish Wedding Show was a lovely exhibit for The Tartan Rose Wedding Florist. It was great to meet Fiona and her sister.




What a brilliant surprise at the end of the day on Sunday when she gave me one of her bouquets. Fantastic roses. They were a bit battered by the time I got them home with all the exhibition stuff but I managed to get a few shots of them.

Thanks for the flowers Fiona: ))

post wedding show thoughts



We survived the weekend at the Scottish Wedding Show; ) No question it was very very tiring but we got to meet some fantastic couples and heard about some really exciting wedding plans.

We are now following up the contacts we made and look forward to talking to people in more detail.

One thing that really struck me as we talked to the couples was how many people haven't really thought about what they want from their photographer. we spoke alot about this with people and I'm going to do a separate blog post about that...

Some nice things people said, as well as that they really liked our work, was that they appreciated us not doing a 'hard sell' and that they found what we said useful in helping them decide what they wanted.

I've put up a few pics of the stand. We didn't go for a really corporate look because we felt it was important that people saw our photographs as they would in their own home.



I would like to thank Enid Reid for providing a lovely floral arrangement for our stand. Her flower shop is in the next street to ours and her work for weddings is fantastic.

We also got to meet some other Glasgow photographers, transport providers and make some useful connections for the future.

We will definitely be attending the next show as well so see you there...

Scottish Wedding Show

We've been very busy preparing for the Scottish Wedding Show on the 19th and 20th September where we are exhibiting for the first time. Come along and see us on stand 410D. We've been getting all of our latest wedding albums ready in time to show and producing postcards and other goodies to give away.

Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend. I'll report back later how we get on and will try to take a few photos too. Below is a link to a wordle that I created to put on our price lists.
Wordle: it had to be you wedding photography
Our wedding packages page has recently changed as we have added a new range of luxurious hand crafted albums from Booked Images. I'll post a photo of those soon.

It's been a busy time (as always at this time of year). Hope to post some photos from our summer weddings shortly too. In the meantime I have put in one of my recent faves of Charlene and Mark who got married in Aberdeen. A beautiful day filled with laughter. This shot at the top of the page was the bride's favourite. A lovely couple...

Hope to see you next weekend at the show. If not don't forget to visit the website to keep up with new additions.
