Wedding Photography in Scottish Wedding Directory
Well, I totally forgot to blog this when the latest issue of Scottish bridal style bible – the Scottish Wedding Directory – hit the stands last month.
I was lucky enough to have a wedding featured in the special Venues supplement and the gorgeous bride and groom were Julie & Alan Holl who got married on a glorious December afternoon, the week before Christmas last year. Just as the wedding party were heading to Loch Ness Lodge for their fabulous reception, the snow started and that was the beginning of our long, cold, icy winter. It also meant that the wedding party had their flight from Inverness to London cancelled and they had to all catch the train back to the capital – bit of a journey but it was for a good cause.
Julie is now about to give birth to the couple’s first child so congratulations to them. Here is the piece. Enjoy! 
STUFF ABOUT ME
I live where I grew up, in the north-west Highlands of Scotland, near the Isle of Skye. I left home at 18 and returned 18 years later and I've worked as a secretary, a marketing assistant, a PR manager, and a local news reporter.
Although I've always loved looking at pictures in magazines, I didn't really get 'into' photography until I was quite old - 36!! Now, five years on, it is my full time occupation and I DO love it, but that is as much from the folk I get to meet and the fun of being part of a wedding day, as it has to do with having a camera in my hand. I just really, really like meeting new people, especially happy people!
Here's another few snippets of info:
At 34 I had an early midlife crisis and took off on a long trip from London to Kenya via Russia, Mongolia, China, Tibet, Nepal, India and several African countries - it was the best year of my life.
I never gave up on the idea of finding 'the one' and a few weeks ago - aged 41! - I walked down the aisle myself.
The second biggest love of my life is Flora - the funniest, cleverest, cutest little doggy ever!
I've climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and done a Marathon - okay, it was the Moonlight Bra Walk Marathon....but 26.2 miles is 26.2 miles!
I love perfume - especially if the bottle is quirky; my latest purchases were Gucci Flora and Balenciaga.
Coming back to my roots is the best thing I've ever done; Edinburgh and London - good times - but now I can have a dog, grow my own veg, breathe clean air and see the sea, every single day.
I love films, magazines and eating - if I can do all three while camped out on the couch or in the bath, I'm happy!
I am quite a soppy romantic, and I really, really, really love my job.
