Wedding at Lynnhurst Hotel

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Stuart Walker

7th July 2011

Our second wedding of the week took us back to the Lynnhurst Hotel in Johnstone for Ewan and Lorraine. The ceremony was expertly officiated by Humanist celebrant Leslie Milne and as with our previous wedding at the venue, we were able to use some “off camera” lighting to get the best results.

I was pleased to see that Basil, the couple’s dog was there and he finally made an appearance for some photos after hiding for a while after some thunder. The weather also had an impact on us humans but fortunately we had just enough time between downpours to capture a group shot outside before heading back indoors. Having indoor locations to use for wedding photography is an important consideration when choosing a marriage venue in Scotland!

Perhaps the most impressive features of the Lynnhurst are the stained glass windows and the large heavy framed mirror in the bridal suite. We made sure to use these to full effect within the time available to us for photos and could have spent all day capturing great images here.

Moorpark House Kilbirnie Wedding

Posted on July 24, 2011 by Stuart Walker

6th July 2011

Today’s wedding is the first of four this week and the second time we have provided wedding photography at Moorpark House in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire. With another booking there in November it is becoming a regular venue for us.

With several distinctive rooms and architectural features, there are plenty of opportunities for a photographer indoors and the grounds of the hotel are perfect for capturing images outside. As the following picture shows, the owners recognise the importance of wedding photography – I wish all venues had these signs!

As often happens there were some delays in the bridal preparations but as everyone was getting ready at the venue this didn’t have too much of an impact on the schedule.

Like many of our clients, today’s couple Brynn and Jillian have arranged their wedding from outside the UK.

Here are some of the images from the day. If you would like to check our availability for wedding photography at Moorpark House or any other venue in Scotland, you can visit our easy to use on-line checker here or contact us on 0141 416 5141.

Doune Castle Wedding Photography

Posted on July 21, 2011 by Stuart Walker

18th June 2011

Today’s wedding took us back to Doune Castle, home of the ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ film and a great setting for a castle wedding venue in Scotland. The weather stayed dry long enough for the bridal party and guests to arrive, but the rain started falling during the ceremony and so we photographed the group shots inside. Fortunately not a problem with the right lighting equipment and the right wedding photographer!

It was then a wet dash to the cars and off to the Stirling Rugby Club for the reception and ceilidh.

St Aloysius Church Wedding | Airdrie

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Stuart Walker

4th June 2011

It’s always nice to add a new venue to the list, and St Aloysius’ Church in Airdrie was a lovely addition. The weather started cool and breezy but brightened up to give us plenty of opportunity to capture some great wedding images outside.

The reception venue chosen by Noreen and Thomas was the nearby Tudor Hotel.

Here are a few images from the day. If you are getting married and are looking for a wedding photographer, check our availability on-line here to get in touch.

Eastwood Registrar Office Wedding

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Stuart Walker

2nd June 2011

Congratulations to Helen and Allan on their marriage today at Eastwood Registrar’s Office in Giffnock, Glasgow. The day was sunny and warm for everyone to enjoy and we made use of the park for wedding photography. Afterwards, we went the short distance to Ian Brown’s restaurant where the guests and bridal party continued their celebrations.

You can see our main site for more details on wedding photography Glasgow and also to check our availability.

Cadder Church Wedding

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Stuart Walker

7th May 2011

Congratulations to Gavin and Lynne who married today at Cadder Parish Church in Glasgow. The area has been the location of a church for at least 850 years and the present building is large and full of character, tucked away from the world in the surrounding woodland and situated very near to the Forth and Clyde canal – all great for wedding photography.

The reception venue chosen by the couple was the Eagle Lodge in Bishopbriggs which is efficiently run and offers plenty of room and comfort for guests.

Here is a small selection of photographs from the day. If you are looking for a qualified wedding photographer in Glasgow or anywhere else in Scotland, you can use our on-line availability checker.

Eastwood House Giffnock Wedding

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Stuart Walker

6th May 2011

Today was the wedding of John and Caroline at Eastwood House in Giffnock, Glasgow. The 19th century mansion house venue is situated in Eastwood Park and offers plenty of locations for wedding photography if the weather is dry. There is also plenty of space inside the building in case of rain. Fortunately we didn’t have to worry as the sun was shining for us.

The reception venue chosen by the couple was the Carmichael Hall which is also within the park. The large function suite here would also have made a good backup location for photography in case of inclement weather.

Here are a sample of images from the day.

Important Changes to Gallery Products and Prices

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Stuart Walker

28^th June 2011

We are pleased to announce that we have introduced new ‘framed print’ products to all our client galleries including wedding photography, portraits and pet photographs.

All customers now have the ability to choose from a range of frames in sizes from 10×8” up to 30×30” (mount size) direct from their image gallery. There are up to six frame styles in nine colours available with either single or double mounts in two sizes and seven colours. We have also added an option to allow custom cropping of the selected image. Our frames use high clarity acrylic instead of glass and are supplied in a presentation box. This new range supplements our existing canvas wrap and aluminium wall print products.

In order to apply the new products to all client galleries we have simplified the pricing structure on our web site. As a result, a few galleries may show an increase in prices for some items. This brings galleries created before June 2011 into line with our current prices. If your gallery is within the 30 day price guarantee period and you have been affected by a price increase, we will refund the difference after an order is placed (order payment must be dated no more than 30 days after the gallery creation date). Wedding albums and image discs are not affected at this time.

Culcreuch Castle Wedding Photography

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Stuart Walker

29th April 2011

Today was another warm spring day in Scotland, and where better to be than at a romantic castle wedding in the countryside? Today’s wedding was particularly special as it was for a lovely American couple, Ryan and Jennifer. Organising a wedding from another country can present some challenges and uncertainties and it is important for couples to choose a wedding photographer they can trust. We have served clients from USA, Canada, Australia, Dubai and Norway. The feedback from our clients after today’s wedding says it all…

“Booked everything from across the Atlantic and it all went perfect. We had searched for months for the best photographer that did not cost more than our whole wedding and would really take some creative shots. We found this with Stuart Walker. He showed up early to scope out the venue and stayed late to get some really great photos of the Ceilidh. Would use again, but only getting married once. So, I would recommend to any family or friends in a heartbeat. Also, his website is very easy to use, which others did not offer.”

We would normally advise that a bride and groom meet face to face with wedding photographers, but in overseas or distance weddings where this is not possible we can provide a video conference meeting via Skype if desired.

Culcreuch Castle is a 14th century building and one of Scotland’s oldest hotels. It is located near to the historic former capital city of Stirling towards the Highlands. It makes the perfect venue for wedding photography with acres of open space, woodland and it’s own private loch. The décor in the old building is authentic and well maintained.

Here are a few of the images from the day. To contact us about your wedding, use our new on-line availability checker or call us on 0141 416 5141.

Lynnhurst Hotel Wedding Photography

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Stuart Walker

23rd April 2011

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Shona and Alistair at the Lynnhurst Hotel in Glasgow. We had already shot their pre-wedding session there a while ago but this time it was more flowers than snowflakes!

The room for the ceremony presented a challenge for lighting as the couple were lit mostly from behind. The registrar was happy for me to set up a flash on a stand and this ensured that the couple were captured perfectly. Not all officiants are okay with flash photography, but I have found that on the very rare occasion where it is required most are happy to allow it.

The venue has some nice outdoor areas for wedding photography and thankfully the rain stopped for us. Inside, the Lynnhurst has been beautifully renovated with a good mix of traditional and modern and we made great use of the place for more images.
