Laura & Matthew

So it turns out Laura’s shared enthusiasm with me for photography is a dangerous combination. We spoke on email and what started as simple location ideas conveniently close to town quickly escalated into what turned out to be a death defying hike into the remote Scottish Highlands.

I’ve shot in my fair share of cool places, but there was something particularly magical about how this epic location aligned with the moody elements courtesy of mother nature. We were gifted with the light I dream about at a location so breathtaking that looking back it’s hard to believe it’s even a real place. I assure you it is.

It was muddy, cold, windy, rainy – you name it. Consequently Laura nearly got hypothermia. We got lost. There were injuries. At one point we huddled in a survival tent and rationed our Tunnock’s Tea Cakes and Irn-Bru. All in the name of photography. And thank god we did.

Rochelle & Wally

When I am photographing, the fact that a wedding is happening takes a back seat to what is really going on. What is going on you ask? Life – that’s what is going on. Everything is going on; the wind blowing in the trees, rain drops tapping on a window, a mother hugging her daughter, a child running along the beach. The more we immerse ourselves in life, the more we feel, and the more we see. For me, photographing a wedding day is no different.

Rochelle and Wally are a special pair. They seem to be at home when they are together. They are happy, caring and fun loving people. For these guys life is all about friends, family, wine and pug dogs. I think we can all learn a lot from that, don’t you think?
