Zoe's Trash the Dress shoot (feat. Wullie)

Zoe was the lucky winner of our Trash the Dress competition and she opted to brave the November weather for this fun shoot.

She's no stranger to facing the elements in order to get great shots. We photographed Zoe & Wullie's wedding at Fintry Kirk & Monachyle Mhor back in May, and 'sideways rain' was the best way to describe the weather that day!

We got some gorgeous, atmospheric photos on their wedding day, but thought it would be great to head back to this stunning area on a blue sky day. Which meant, of course, that it was freezing!

Here are a few of our favourites from the shoot...










Behind the scenes. Zoe had a pair of awesome silver Hunter wellies. Jay didn't...




We ended the shoot with fish & chips and a cup of tea at MHORfish in Callander - just what we all needed to warm up!

We'd like to say a huge thanks to Zoe & Wullie for being such stars. We hope you'll agree it was worth it!

Thanks also to Zoe's mum, Catherine, who was a fabulous assistant during the shoot and who was incredibly supportive of the trashing concept - so much so in fact that she entered Zoe in our competition!

Jenni & Neil - Fettes College - Edinburgh wedding photography

Remember Jenni & Neil? After our fantastic pre-shoot with these guys back in July, we'd been so looking forward to photographing their wedding.

We knew Jenni would make a stunning bride, and we were bang on the money! She and her bridesmaids got ready at her family home in East Lothian, and there was lots of laughter and a few (happy!) tears.








Meanwhile, Neil & the boys got ready at Channings before heading over to Fettes...






and they were looking seriously good too...





We loved all the little personal touches, including the way Jenni & Neil incorporated photos from their pre-wedding shoot into the big day...





The team at Fettes were fantastic, and there was no way their bride was getting wet!





Jenni was piped down the aisle to Highland Cathedral. We love how proud and happy her dad looks in this photo.





And the look on their faces when they saw each other for the first time says it all.




The chapel at Fettes is stunning, and the service was both touching and humorous in equal measures.





Then it was time for some group photos, including this one of the gorgeous girls.




And then our favourite part of the day, the couple shots...







And have we mentioned how stunning Jenni looked?




Meanwhile, the guests were being entertained by close-up magician Kevin McMahon. We thought this was a really great idea.






Soon it was time for a wonderful meal.



Which was followed by fantastic speeches...





It's always great when the best man produces photographic evidence...





Jenni & Neil's first dance was simply incredible...we can't believe they only had four lessons (shows how bad at dancing we are)!






When Callanish hit the stage the guests were totally up for some dancing.






And we just couldn't resist a few last photos of the gorgeous bride and groom...






Jenni & Neil - What an amazing day! Thank you for inviting us to get to know you and your wonderful friends and families - we had a blast. We look forward to showing you the rest of your photos when you get back. Give our love to NYC!
