Karen — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 16:54:29 +0000

I always enjoy a wedding at The Piersland, staff especially Martin are always fab. Alan and Carly’s wedding was fab.

Gemma and Darren // The Waterside Hotel

Karen — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 13:38:03 +0000

I make no secret that the Waterside is one of my favourite venues, maybe because its because I photographed my second ever wedding there and had such a brilliant day but I can honestly say I have never not had a great day at the Waterside. The staff are great and a big shout out […]

Abby and Gregor // Dalduff Farm

Karen — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 17:51:42 +0000

Abby and Gregor are currently living up in Skye. They booked me through recommendations (which is always good to hear). We had Zoom before the wedding which I was a little late for as I had gotten the time mixed up (for those that know me I am never really late) so I was mortified! […]

Lochside House Hotel // Heather and Matthew

Karen — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 09:25:07 +0000

Heather and Matthew Heather and Matthews wedding was last November and my first time photographing at the Lochside House Hotel. The lochside was ideal for a winter wedding as it was still light and airy and had plenty of space for guests to sit and relax. Sometimes at venues if there is no where really […]

Jennifer and Robert Jennifer and Robert had to postpone their wedding due to covid and lost their first photographer.

Claire and Andrew The Waterside Hotel

Karen — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 09:19:56 +0000

Claire and Andrews wedding at the Waterside Hotel was a last minute booking for me. Their photographer Alan Watson contacted me to see if I could fill in. It is unusual for me when doing an all day wedding not to have met the couple beforehand, normally we meet about a month before the wedding […]

Ashleigh and Nicole – The Waterside

As most of you know one of my favourite wedding venues is The Waterside in Ayrshire. It was the place of my second ever wedding which was a winter one unlike Ashleigh and Nicole’s which was July. With the Waterside it really doesn’t matter whether you are a winter or summer wedding, if its dry […]

A wee bit different!

Karen — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 13:19:08 +0000

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. As a photographer who covers mainly weddings and children’s photoshoots, I’m no stranger to divas. Normally it’s me acting the diva when the rain gets in the way of my shoot. So when I heard these two little words I knew I had to jump […]
