Very pleased to announce that our new prices and packages for 2011 are now available... I say very pleased because for the first time since we started I've really changed pretty much every aspect of what we do and the way we do it. Its the first time we've really 'gone back to basics' since I started the business (well, since 2003 - I started in 2000, but I really didn't have a clue what I was doing then) (not much has changed over the years, obviously) (well, other than the widespread use of web and e-mail, mobile phones and the death of video hire shops - do they still exist somewhere?) (and the introduction of coffee shops - thank God!). Anyway, big changes, top to bottom, effecting just about every aspect of the business. So exciting times. Over the coming weeks I'll start to introduce some of the new products and services but more importantly, explain some of the background to why the changes came about.

French Weddings: New For 2011

Really pleased to announce that from 2011 onwards we shall be available to shooting weddings in France. Our first French wedding was shot in the south west, not far from Bergerac and was a great experience. Firstly, amazing settings - the chateau and vineyard backdrops are just SO inspirational from a photographic perspective. The light is incredible - especially in the countryside - and that really helps me to create something different and interesting. And from our experience, weddings tend to be very relaxed, so more smiles and more informality to capture, which suits my style down to the ground!

It makes good sense if you are UK based getting married in france to commission a UK photographer, since all the pre-meetings and post production are more easily managed. And flights are so reasonable these days: we are available for commissions across the UK, so really its as easy for us to get to France as it is to a castle in Scotland. And I get an opportunity to practice my quite dreadful language skills (that's true for France and Scotland!).

Its been my aspiration for a long time to base at least part of the business in France, so the prospect of spending more time in this beautiful country is very exciting. Do please have a look at my website and contact us if you are planning an overseas wedding.
