Styled Wedding Shoot | Melrose Styled Wedding | Melrose Wedding Photography

A beautiful styled shoot at the invitation of awesome Borders Photographer - Alex Martin...

Despite some super wet weather this was a great day - it was lovely to try out some creative ideas along with Alex - always inspiring to share thoughts and bounce ideas between another photographer... thanks so much for the invitation Alex and to all who took part in the day: 

Here's some 'behind the scenes' photographs and some of the final images from the day.

With the Spring approaching it's the time of year when thoughts turn to pre-wedding engagement shoots!  

Whoop - lets get creative...

I also take portraits...

And it's something I love.  But I probably don't talk about it enough.  
So here we are...

Just for fun... here's my alternative look at 2018... and that cheeky fella who I photograph more frequently than anyone else ;0)

Now this isn't something I do at every wedding, but you know - when the opportunity presents...  Here are my selfies of 2018 (and a few that aren't quite selfies but hey, and a few that aren't from 2018, so just a bunch of photos really)...

Just to clarify .. Yes I really did get sun burn pretty badly through the Summer, I did not drink that Grey Goose... that umbrella really did hurt, Suzi..!, I don't know anyone called Suzi, I really do own that many waistcoats and I know - don't suit a helmet, that shadow... is a thumb!  And that bubble... oh yeah!

A perfect day with Tiree and Stuart - GG's Yard was such a treat for my camera and making it down to the sea was the icing on the cake - those rocks had stood for a million years... just ready and waiting ;)

Cool tones of Winter gave way to the mellow warmth of Spring... my first wedding of the new season, and Megan & Alisdair sure put a spring in my step - a beautiful day with a gorgeous couple - thank you guys, your day was wonderful to be part of.
