The Wedding of Caroline & Allan

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Your wedding is one of the most treasured and special events in your life. I know mine was. But the day went by so quickly, and there was so much going on, that without a wedding album to tell the story of the day I am sure that I would have forgotten some of those cherished moments by now. It is for this reason that I believe that wedding photography should tell a story – the small details, the emotions, the candid moments that are so easily missed as well as the ‘big moments’.

A little while ago I had the privilege of second shooting at the wedding of Caroline and Allan, near Inverness. It was a beautiful day and the images tell the story. Here are just a few.

The joy of the bride preparing for the ceremony.

For me, photography is about telling a story, your story. When you look at your images I want you to remember it like it was yesterday, to get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside as all the memories come flooding back.

Do you remember the moments that made you smile, but are so easily forgotten? The time when Ben was trying to make toast when he was one year old? Ok so he had a little help from Dad, but he knew exactly what he was doing, from pulling up a chair to stand on so he could reach the toaster to trying to butter the toast after.

It was about the same time as when Olivia had her first pair of glasses. She is such a star in front of the camera.

I love being a photographer because as well as being lucky enough to share in so many special moments, I get to help you remember them.

And if my photographs bring all the memories flooding back, make you smile and give you that warm fuzzy feeling, then I have done my job.

“Time will never stand still and those moments that bring us such joy become memories in an instant. To capture such a moment and record it forever is truly monumental.”

I love this quote from Joshua Atticks and I think it is quite apt for the last couple of images. I have to apologise to Jim and Judith for taking so long to post these as it is quite a while since I was in Dunfermline taking these photographs. They are a great family together and I really enjoyed the afternoon. The only trouble is I found it really hard to pick the images for this post, there were so many more that I wanted to add.
