My Wedding!
Well, it’s been a bit quiet on here of late, but as some of you who frequent this blog may know, it’s because I got married myself recently, so I’ve been a bit busy!
Our ceremony took place at Eilean Donan Castle on Wednesday 31st August and it was fabulous. I LOVED every single minute of the wedding day and my new husband Darren didn’t find it as nerve-wracking as he thought it would be!
I shoot at Eilean Donan regularly and it is one of my favourite venues. The wonderful Judi Buttner from Findhorn Foundation conducted the ceremony which was really lovely and laid back and Eilean Donan, wedding wonder-woman Wendy, along with Amanda Win looked after all of us brilliantly.
The most amazing part of the day was that my new niece, Scarlett Ava, who spent the first few months of her life in intensive care, was well enough to travel to the wedding, with her brother Hamish. That was the best wedding present. The second best present was having my good friend Iain Bain photograph the day for us – or should that be three days as our celebrations went on a bit, culminating with a party in Plockton village hall on the Friday. And what a party it was! Although I’m going to blog later about my fabulous suppliers for rings, flowers, cake and invites, I just wanted to quickly show a few of Iain’s fantastic shots.

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.
Congraulations Lynne and Darren .you are truly blessed you both look beautiful and so happy together.love Janet xxx
