Happy New Year - here's to 2009!

First of all we'd like to wish you a Happy New Year! It's always exciting to start a new year and we are sure that 2009 will bring great things to all those we know and love.

We had a fantastic 2008, which culminated with us winning the VOWS Photography Award for outstanding service and dedication to the Scottish wedding industry. Jay was also recognised by his peers when he picked up an Award of Excellence at the Scottish Master Photographers Association Awards.

We also made the headlines in 2008, when the Daily Record featured photographs from a Trash the Dress shoot with our fantastic and gorgeous bride Kelly Thacker. We will be continuing to offer fashion-style, post wedding shoots in 2009 and would like to stress that the name is something of a misnomer as our focus is on creating artistic, striking photos and no dresses have been harmed!

We have exciting plans in store for 2009, starting with a new look which we will be revealing very soon! Our portrait division continues to grow and we will also be adding some fantastic new products and services to our wedding photography packages.

In the coming weeks we will be launching a new website that will feature our fine art, landscape and travel photography. Our brides and grooms often ask if they can purchase these prints and we are happy to say that we will be offering special deals for existing clients.

Both Jay and I are working on exhibition material at the moment. Photography is a way of life and a passion for us and we look forward to sharing our personal work with you soon!

Finally, we plan to continue our charity work in 2009. Last year we gave our support to The Sick Kids Friends Foundation and The Willow Foundation - two amazing charities that deserve the highest praise for their work with children and young adults.
