Weddings are beautiful occasions but for the bride and groom the day can pass in a blur. The job of a wedding photographer is to capture the essence of your love and tell the story of the day. In years to come, when the memories have faded, a lovingly crafted album will help you not only relive the emotions of the day, but enable you to share that day with your children and grandchildren. Imagine, in years to come, when a 10 year old climbs up on to your knee as you share your wedding album and says “Mummy, you looked beautiful” or “Granny, you were so glamorous”.
Donna and Dave were married at Spynie Palace, near Elgin on the Moray Firth, and the story of their day is a privilege to tell.

At the beginning of this post I talked about how a wedding album can tell a story for years to come, becoming a family heirloom to be passed down the generations. Can you imagine settling down with a glass of wine in front of the fire, and a CD of images?
If a wedding album is to stand the test of time, it needs to be crafted from the finest materials. I have chosen Queensberry as an album supplier as they make beautiful albums which will be treasured by this generation and the next. You can find out more about their gorgeous albums on their website or at the Queensberry blog.
