This week I spent a lovely evening with my new friends Phil (Left) and Harvie. I met them recently through a mutual friend and discovered that they are getting married very soon. On discovering that they had not yet arranged a wedding photographer, I offered to do it for them. We agreed to get together for some fun and a pre-shoot first, and these are the highlights. I’ll be shooting their wedding in June, and hopefully I’ll be able to post some pictures from the happy day here.

Most of these were on the beautiful balcony of Phil and Harvie’s flat. (Bright sun behind. Anyone would think this wasn’t Scotland; two sunny shoots in a row)

Photographing them was incredibly good fun as they are such a romantic couple. You don’t have to encourage them to get close.

See what I mean.

Eventually I felt they had worked hard enough at modelling to earn a seat.

Some photographs look too loving to be true, but trust me, this is the real thing.

One more on the balcony before heading indoors.

This isn’t the wedding ring, but soon I might photograph Phil’s other hand.

Harvie is just a really striking man, he is amazing company and a great conversationalist to boot.

The balcony is in the background in this shot.

If Harvie is striking, Phil is gorgeous. They just make a lovely couple, and yours truly gets the fun of photographing them. Look at that view of Glasgow and Paisley in the background.

Thanks for your company guys, and thanks for the delicious meal you cooked me. Can’t wait for the wedding.

PS. Thanks to Elaine for holding my remote flash and brolly!
