Charity Golf Tournament Photography | Befriend A Child

It has been a while again since I posted and I am going to make a serious effort to catch up. As an antidote to all this bad weather I am going to post some images from a golf tournament I photographed for the Befriend A Child charity, based in Aberdeen. I think it is important to give a little something back so every so often I will volounteer my photography services to local charities. Befriend A Child do a lot of great work for children and you can read more about their work here. I will also be photographing their charity ball in February.

The tournament was held up at the beautiful Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club with teams from various Aberdeen businesses taking part. There was a lot of good banter out on the course and I would like to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome.

The course is under one of the main flight paths for North Sea helicopters servicing the oil industry so hearing the helicopters flying overhead all afternoon brought back some memories from my time offshore and flying down this stretch of coastline, it has some amazing beaches and beautiful scenery. I remember how nice it always was to see green – it was almost like it was soothing on the eyes after a month or more of greyness – grey sky, grey seas, and working ships are not exactly known for their uplifting decor!

But I digress, you can see from some of these photographs how beautiful the coastline is, and the beaches are often deserted.

I know these photographs are a little different to the kind of work that I normally post but I would be interested to hear what you think. Would you come up and visit this part of the world? There are some beautiful wedding venues if you are thinking of a Scottish Highland wedding…..
