Patricia Martin Knitwear - up close and personal

For the last two weeks I have been posting shots of Patricia Martin's gorgeous knitwear modelled irreverantly by my lovely four year old model and stylishly by the designer herself. 

This week the craft takes centre stage as we get up close and personal with the detail... prepare to sigh over it's delicate edging and lacy stitches.  Pure genius.

Beach Fashion shoot - Patricia Martin Knitwear

Last week I posted about the rising star that is Patricia Martin, knitwear designer extraordinaire and promised to post the fruits of our photoshoot. 

Well never let it be said that I don't keep my word.  Despite ominous rain clouds and a chill breeze, Patricia modelled her knitwear like a pro - given the nature of the Scottish summer it helps that it was hats, gloves and shawls!  Here she is looking beautiful and knitty.  Next week I will post the gorgeous detailed pictures. 

Fashion forward.... Imogen's Wardrobe Revisited

If you follow this blog at all, you'll know that I've been involved with various photoshoots for childrenswear designer Beth Cameron, founder of Imogen's Wardrobe.  All summer we have planned a follow up shoot based on the fantastic new collections Beth has been developing.

Unfortunately, a grazed knee curtailed this shoot... and this was all I got (the knee is all better).

I do, I do, I do believe in fairies

Thanks to the wonders of Twitter and Pinterest I've been meeting a whole slew of fantastic and inspirational creative people from writers to fashion designers.  I've been involved in flash fiction writing contests and been playing with fairy tales.  

As is the nature of these things, this inevitably comes round full circle and brings me back to photography.  Here are some images shot in Newhailes woods playing with the theme of fairyland (with some slightly clumsy photoshop assistance).

Claire and Jon: Reportage at St Giles Church, Marchmont

Claire and Jon's wedding took place at St Giles' Church Marchmont. After a blustery arrival, they were married to the beautiful choral singing of the church's choir in front of their assembled friends and family. I used reportage wedding photography to record the occasion. Here are some examples of the images.

Claire and Jon: Wedding Details at the Radisson

Prior to Jon and Claire Seller's wedding yesterday, I was delighted to join Claire, her mum and her bridesmaids at the Radisson Hotel on the Royal Mile to photography their wedding preparations. These are some of the detail images from the morning.

Claire and Jon: Wedding Portraits at Our Dynamic Earth

Last year I was absolutely thrilled when Jon and Claire booked my services as their wedding photographer. Not only would I get to be working with a really lovely couple, but they had chosen a super cool venue: Our Dynamic Earth. It's a great place for portrait photography - with lots of opportunity for creative wedding photography. Here are some of the wedding portraits of the lovely Mr & Mrs Seller.

Peter and Ann's Wedding at St Mary's Church, Dalmahoy

On 1 May 2011 it was my great pleasure to photograph the wedding of Ann Monfries and Peter Jackson at St Mary's Episcopal Church, Dalmahoy. St Mary's is a tiny chapel tucked away amid the trees on the outskirts of the Dalmahoy Hotel's estate near Edinburgh. It was packed to the rafters with friends and family from Scotland, England and as far away as Australia who came to see Peter and Ann wed. Below follow some sneak preview pictures of the ceremony, with portraits from the beautiful hotel to follow. My thanks to Peter and Ann for their lovely good humour and for allowing me to photograph their big day.
