Now that I am finally getting back to my blogging, today I thought I would share a few portraits from Daniel and Maree’s photography session in Aberdeen. With Maree studying in Aberdeen and Daniel based in Kirkcaldy they had been wanting to have some professional portraits taken for a while. Although the weather seemed a little dull, it couldn’t have been better from a photography point of view with great skies which really add to the photographs, and the beach boulevard in Aberdeen is a great location to take photographs too.

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…..

It is important to give something back to the community which is why I carry out quite a bit of ‘personal’ work for local charities. On Friday 3rd September I will be giving my time to sponsor and photograph the Befriend A Child Golf Challenge Day at Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club, just north of Aberdeen. Teams of 4 from north east businesses will be taking part in the Stableford competition and I will be there to photograph the event for Befriend A Child.

Befriend A Child began life in 1975 in direct response to the needs of children and young people in Aberdeen who were identified as suffering or at risk. The aims of the scheme were – and have remained – to relieve distress, promote welfare and advance the education of children in Aberdeen through a befriending service.

By providing an adult role model, the child experiences reliability, caring and trust which in turn combine to improve their confidence, social skills and help give them the solid grounding required to grow into mature, responsible adults.

Scottish Wedding at Forter Castle | Dean & Dani

February 5th, 2010

Wedding photography at an intimate highland wedding in Forter Castle in Glen Isla, Perthshire, a perfect setting for Scottish destination weddings. Photography by wedding photographer Louise Beattie, based in Angus, near to Dundee.

 

Scottish Highland Weddings

Scotland is a great place to have a wedding, there are so many beautiful castles that can be used as venues providing great settings for wedding photography. Forter Castle, set in the beautiful Glen Isla in Perthshire, is no exception and has recently been renovated. It is easily accessible from Scotland’s main airports at Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and with helicopter transfers available it is an ideal location for destination weddings. It’s central location, with good access to Perth, Dundee and Angus also make it an ideal place for intimate highland weddings

When Dean and Dani decided to have a humanist wedding ceremony they chose to hire the castle for the weekend, sharing it with close family and friends. The celebration was held in the Forter Castle’s own chapel making it a unique wedding. The video below is a slideshow of some of the photography from the wedding and shows what a stunning setting the castle is, and as you can see they were blessed with a beautiful autumn day.

When photographing a wedding I love to tell the story of the day and you can see some of the photographs from the preparations for this wedding here.

I hope that you enjoyed the video, if you would like to find out more about my wedding photography services you can visit my website or contact me.
