My new website and blog!

Yes, the time has come to say goodbye to my old blog. And hello to my new blog!

I decided back in August that it was the end of the road for my old website. Yes, it looked good but occasionally, it was slow to load and you couldn't access it via iPhone and iPad. I also thought that it was a bit ~ complicated to have the website and the blog in different places. Combining the two made perfect sense! So here I proudly present, my new website and blog.

Go on, head right over for a look!

Christine & David : Married | Cathcart Trinity Church and Glasgow University

Around four weeks before their wedding day, I called round Christine and David's house to talk about their wedding day, as I always do with my couples. While running through the order of the day, and the family group shots they wanted, I discovered two things: 1) Christine had a pretty detailed wedding spreadsheet and 2) They also had a comprehensive wedding website. I got the distinct feeling that their wedding would be pretty smooth running. And so it was.

As the morning of Christine and David's wedding came, the skies were grey. It was sprinkling down with rain as Christine was getting ready. No one cared. In any case, Christine was prepared for any weather.

It turned out that she didn't need her special umbrella, that she had bought only a week before the wedding just in case. The sun shone brightly when Christine and David appeared from the church to an impromptu confetti shower.

The day continued in Christine and David's relaxed style. After a very enjoyable portrait session, we had some hilarious speeches before dinner, then we were treated to a delicious meal served by the very attentive Glasgow University catering staff and finally, the evening was kicked off by Christine and David performing a Gay Gordon first dance. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much, I was reluctant to leave the party at the end of the night :)

Christine & David, what a fantastic day! Thanks so much for allowing me to be part of it. I hope that you enjoy your preview of photos - with many more still to come. I'm looking forward to catching up with you when you are back from your honeymoon!
