The start of a New Wedding Season began last Saturday. We had the pleasure of photographing Lisa and Keith's big day at Kings College Chapel and then onto Norwood Hall hotel, Aberdeen. The weather held out and apart from blue fingers and toes Lisa and Keith had a fantastic day.

Well, the last five weeks have been interesting to say the least, Eilidh is keping us busy, although I have to admit she is fantastic! I was dreading our first wedding after 4 weeks of deprived sleep. Last weekend, 14th November 2009, we had the pleasure of photographing Lynn and Mark's Big Day at Drumtochty Castle. The weather, should we say wasn't the best, heavy rain and wind, even so the couple had a great day and where more than happy to dodge outside in the breaks to capture some amazing photographs, below is a few images from Lynn and Mark's day.
HERE SHE IS!
The Importance of using a Qualified MPA Photographer.
Below is a link to a newspaper article which has been in the press this week. The moral of the story is you get what you pay for from your wedding photography, you only have one chance no matter what the weather or circumstances that are thrown at you! Do your research, if we aren't available on your wedding day or you would like some advice we are more than happy to assist you to find the right photographer for you!

Comment from the Chief Executive of the Master Photographers Association:
I was appalled to read about the West Yorkshire newlyweds, Marc and Sylvia Day, who had to sue their wedding photographer for producing shoddy wedding photographs and video.
The photographer in question was not charging cheap prices either, so how can couples be assured that the photographer they choose is not going to make a mess of things?
The answer is simply to entrust this most important event to a Master Photographer. The Master Photographers Association is the only trade body in the UK to insist its members are full-time professionals and are qualified to a high minimum standard. They also follow a strict code of conduct and carry the appropriate insurance.
The bungling photographer, Gareth Bowers, was not an MPA member, but appears to have been a former member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers - a privately run society which does not enforce the strict entry criteria of the Master Photographers Association.
I'll be discussing the benefits of using a Master Photographer in a radio interview booked for next week.

Chief Executive, MPA
