Today I am introducing a new feature to my blog – Image of the Week. It is a bit of an excuse to share some of my favourite images as well as a way for you the reader to get a better feel for the kind of photographer that I am. The images could be personal work, landscapes or from weddings and portrait sessions and I will share why I have chosen the image. I will publish this every Friday and I hope you enjoy this new feature.

Today’s image is from a humanist wedding at Spynie Palace on the Moray Coast. I love the tenderness of the moment and how the way the little girl is playing with the necklace. The way the emotion of the subjects of the photograph contrasts with the people in the background also adds to the story. When I take photographs I am always looking to tell a story and show emotion, I want to make people feel something when they look at one of my images, and I think I succeeded with this image.

The Wedding of Donna & Dave, Spynie Palace

August 19th, 2009

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”.

 

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.
