Wedding Photography at the Hotel Colessio Ashley & Anthony

Delighted to be sharing a new wedding with you today guys and, this time around, I’m back in early May this year…yeah, do you remember that week that was really sunny and warm…barely do I as I sit here today in the cold and rain!

Ashley & Anthony were married at the Sacred Heart Church in Cowie before moving on to their reception at the fabulous Hotel Colessio in Stirling, but not before a brief stop off en route to the University of Stirling grounds for our bride & groom shoot. And did I mention it was warm and sunny…of course I did…but, of course, you can see that in the pictures below.

    Pre-Wedding Shoot at Stirling University | Heather & Chris

    I seem to have been at Stirling University quite a lot of late and, each time it’s for a pre-wedding shoot. Granted, it’s probably not an obvious choice for a shoot but, drive past the main university buildings and there’s some really gorgeous locations to play around with – derelict old buildings, woods, a lake etc etc…I could go on (but I won’t).

    Heather & Chris had originally decided on another location for the shoot but, having seen one of y previus efforts at the Uni on my blog, decided to switch, and we were blessed with some great weather as well…bonus.

      Portrait Photography at Stirling University:
      Lynsey & Derek’s Pre-Wedding Shoot

      Really on a roll today guys with blogging and here we have my second post of the day. This time, I’m very pleased to be sharing some images from Lynsey & Derek’s pre-wedding shoot that we did up at Stirling University a few weeks back. And, wouldn’t you know it, well, you probably would, it was raining yet again. The guys are getting married in a few weeks time at Glenbervie House, my local venue, and that will be the first of a triple header of weddings that I’ll be shooting that week – good job I’m off on my hols shortly after then :-).

      I’ve shot quite a few pre-wedding shoots (and weddings) in the Stirling Uni grounds and it offers a lot – unfortunately, not too much in the way of cover though from the elements, which I’m sure didn’t stop at all during the shoot. But, as I always say, no point postponing because of a wee spot of rain – the wedding day could be like that (although naturally you hope it isn’t) and we can’t move that date. If anything, bad weather just drives out the need to search for new areas to photograph in, such as what appeared to be an old car-port that we found, providing a touch of shelter and enough shade to do some flash-lit shots – shots that I’m sure we probably wouldn’t have done had it been bright and sunny, so it’s not all bad :-).

        Lisa & Neil’s Pre-Wedding Shoot at Stirling University

        A quick hop over from Hamilton, stop off at home for a spot of lunch, and I’m back out and about for the second of today’s pre-wedding shoots – this time, I’m in the University of Stirling grounds with Lisa & Neil. The guys are getting married in September at Solsgirth House, a fantastic venue, totally private (you have the run of the place for the whole day) and, needless to say, I’m really looking forward to capturing some great images for them come the day.
