Photoshoots
We’re in the process of arranging several photoshoots with a few models and non-models alike. We have a Trash the Dress booked for June, should be interesting! As I like to keep my hand in and twitchy after a few days of R and R. I arranged with Suzie to shoot some pictures in our studio as a warm up for a couple of shoots we have arranged with bridal dress designers. Suzie is just fabulous and as she hasn’t had a fashion shoot for more than a year due to her studies at Uni, she was delighted to take part as she’s keen to do more modelling in the future. So if your interested in modelling and want know what we can do for you call or email.
We’ll be updating the website to include more of these shoots in our Commercial section later in the Spring.

Trash the Dress
Trash the Dress
We made the Scotsman Newspaper recently as the 'photographer at the SECC Wedding Show' who takes for Trash the Dress pictures! We also take 'Cherish your Dress' pictures as well! In fact we're rather good at it... surprise, surprise : )
The Scottish Wedding Show at the SECC
I hope you were impressed by the quality and clarity of our large format prints of Cherish and Trash the Dress prints as well as our wedding albums. If you were looking closely at our prints you would have noticed that the image of Caitlin in the water is so sharp you can actually count her eye lashes. If you don’t believe me please phone for an appointment to view some of our albums and you can count them for yourself!
If you’re feeling a little confused by our range of products we will be delighted to hear from you and to discuss your requirements in more detail. Please remember all wedding photographers are not the same! We like fun, natural images as well as the posed images for your album.
New print box for those who don’t want an album but are interested in a book and images on CD. For those of you who book in October we will continue to offer 20 of our ‘unique comic’ thank you cards free of charge. To learn more we suggest you see our distinctive approach to our brochure! We like to be different from the run of the mill. We endevour to take images that can be in your album and also made into large ‘fine art’ prints that you’d love to hang on your wall.
A new product that wasn’t at the show sadly, is a Signing Book, which is printed to allow guests to sign around the margins of the prints in the book. This product will available within a few weeks and will now be available to all clients who book a pre-wedding photoshoot, even if we are not your chosen photographer. The pre-wedding photoshoot is free for all clients who do book our services.
A word of advice to all couples who have not yet chosen a photographer - do so now! We spoke to several couples who were still undecided and some who had left it to the last minute. We had to turn away 2 couples because we were booked for next year in June and July on their dates. I hope the managed to find a photographer but when I spoke to them they had already spoken to several and were out of luck. You should always book your photographer as early as possible, around the same time you book your venue. There is nothing to be gained by delaying your choice, in fact the longer you leave it the more expensive it will become! Our prices will rise in January 2011. If you book with us now we fix your price even if your wedding is 2012. We do not increase the prices like many other photographers, unless you change your wedding photography package to another one.
We had lots of show offers which sadly have now closed.
If you have any questions please get in touch and I’ll be delighted to answer them for you. One last thing we travel, yes really we do and we are more than able to travel to ‘Dundee’ or ‘Timbuctoo’ or for that matter anywhere else in the world for your wedding. We are approximately 30 minutes from Glasgow, easy to find and are not restricted to our local area. If your wedding is in Scotland we might be able to provide you with a pre-wedding shoot on location at your chosen venue for just the cost of the petrol to get there and back. This would normally be done subject to availability and permission from your venue organiser.

Trash, Cherish and Fashion Shoot
Last Friday we had a Cherish and Trash shoot in the country and at the beach, had an absolutely great time. Weather was super and the water was warm: ) then on Sunday a Cherish, Trash and Fashion shoot, had super time again with some of the sunniest weather we’ve had in a while. See What I mean.
Trash the Dress
Photoshoot coming off within a few weeks - Trash the Dress. It’ll be shot on location with the new 31 megapixel Phase One digital back for the Hasselblad H1. Looking forward this one and I’ll be making large prints and a book of the pictures to show at the SECC in October.
Models
This is how the professionals work. Above is a picture of Gillian taken by us at a recent Hasselblad photoshoot.
New models will be appearing here soon. Two test shoots within a few days and one Trash shoot this weekend. So if your interested in modeling get in touch. Please read our conditions here and remember to send us a jpg of yourself along with your age, height, dress size and your interest.

Trash the Dress
Latest update for our Trash the Dress shoots. Then Sunday 6th Sept with the beautiful Caitlin, with more on the way. So come on girls get in touch if you want to feature.
Models
More pictures of our models, Leanne, Fifi, and Caitlin are on our First Time Models page here. Here’s one or two more pictures. So if your interested in modeling get in touch soon.
Trash the Dress
Here’s a pic featuring the shovel. Fi enjoyed this, particularly the burying bit. A bit worrying though for someone who’s training to be a doctor! Then again she might decide to specialize in pathology ; ) Or perhaps follow in the steps of Burke and Hare. Only kidding Fi, thanks for the shoot.
PS it’s not easy to see the legs to the left of the shovel in such a small picture.
Trash the Dress
The weather was at times horrible, wet and a wee bit windy, at least the wind was warm. We all had fun, even though the photographer wasn’t happy with the weather - c’est la vie! Had a great time though, Leanne and Fiona were wonderful. Colin ‘there’s been a murder Jim’ ‘the body’ was a great help and played ‘the body’ well. He would have been even better if we could have floated him out to sea face down though! Here’s a couple of pictures from the shoot. The shovel stars in at least one of the pics, it’ll be posted as soon as I have more time.
Trash the Dress
Well not quite, more a photoshoot than outright destruction. We expect the dress to get dirty and possibly wet, who knows perhaps more. What we are hoping for is a set of pictures that can be made into a large photobook and large high quality prints. Makeup artist Lynsey Ferguson will be attending to the girls makeup, stay tuned for more. Yes the shovel will be there!
Photoshoots
We are pleased to say that Lynsey Ferguson is; depending on availability; going to make sure that the makeup for a forth coming Trash the Dress shot is spot on and just so. The past few shoots have proved to me that when photographing pretty young ladies (tough job but some ones got to do it : ) the makeup has to be perfect. Shiny faces just don’t cut it, the eyes have to keep your attention and make you look and look again! If you want to know more about Lynsey and her talents then check out her website at www.lynseyferguson.co.uk. She has a few of our pics on her site as well. So if you’re interested in a photoshoot or you’re needing that perfect look for your wedding then give her a ring.
Trash the Dress and Cherish your Dress
So far we have five models, two dresses a car a rather nice Porsche 911 (mine) and a shovel. We need a little more and then it all happens. The pictures will feature in the new website FT Models and a few will feature at the Scottish Wedding Show at the SECC. If you’re wondering what the shovel is for then you’ll just have to wait and see!
Models
Another young lady is going to try her hand at modeling for a shot at ‘Cherish your Dress’, ‘Trash the Dress’ photo shoots tomorrow, The lovely Fiona, stay tuned for more information on how it all went ... well check back tomorrow.
Models
My thanks to Kay, Gillian, Lauren and Andrea for a busy afternoon. Lots and lots of pictures and I’m glad you all had a great time. Our 4 first time models were a little nervous at the start but soon got into the swing of things and we got some cracking photographs. I’m already looking forward to the next session and the Trash the Dress, Cherish your Dress shoot.
Models Wanted
We are looking for new faces to feature in few photo shoots we have in mind within the next few months. The shoots will initially be portraits in studio then if all goes to plan of a bridal nature - Trash the Dress and Cherish your Dress. We are also looking for images to use for school prom promotion. Groups of 3 or 4 friends would be ideal.
So if you think you’ve got what it takes and want to strut your stuff get in touch here for more information or email us here.
