Little Miss Wedding

We're delighted to have our photos featured once more on one of our favourite wedding planning blogs - Little Miss Wedding.

Waiting to hear back from us?

We're having a bumper week of wedding enquiries, and are really enjoying hearing what everyone has planned for their big day.

If you've sent us an enquiry but haven't heard back from us within a day or two, please get in touch in case the email gremlins have been at work. We reply to every enquiry we receive, whether we are available on your wedding day or not. And if we're not available, we'll be happy to put you in touch with a great photographer who is.

Brrr

On our way back from snowboarding at Glenshee, we went in search of frozen lochs and found this arctic scene.

Jay was manning the camera while I was in charge of the flask and biscuits.

Zoe & Wullie's wedding in SWD

We still get a thrill every time we see our photos in print. So it was an exciting moment this morning when a loud thud indicated the arrival of the latest issue of the Scottish Wedding Directory.

This bumper issue celebrates the magazine's 15th anniversary, and the SWD team have really excelled themselves. If you're planning your wedding it's a great starting point for ideas, inspiration and sound advice.

This issue also comes with an extra 'venues' magazine. It features the wedding of Zoe & Wullie Campbell, which we photographed at Fintry Kirk & Monachyle Mhor in May 2009. It was a beautiful day (except for the weather - which was more atmospheric!), and seeing it in the magazine brought back lots of lovely memories!

We met up with Zoe & Wullie again in November for a wonderful wintry Trash the Dress shoot. Check out the photos here to see why a pair of waders was on Jay's Christmas list!

Ooh la la!

Boudoir season is now open! These boutique-style shoots are a great chance to get glammed up and to rock your finest little outfits.

Not only will you feel fabulous, but this is one gift that your man will never forget. As one of our recent clients put it: "He was absolutely blown away with his birthday present, was lost for words at one bit - couldn't quite believe that I'd done this for him!"

Check out our dedicated boudoir website - Elemental Secrets - and email us at info@elementalweddings.co.uk for all the details.

Thanks to all the lovely ladies who agreed to share their images.

A little wedding inspiration

January is always a really busy time when it comes to wedding enquiries, and this year is proving no different.

We're also busy compiling our lists of favourite images from our 2009 weddings, so look out for those blog posts coming soon. It's proving very hard to narrow the selection down, but we're getting there!

In the meantime, for those of you who are newly-engaged and looking for some inspiration, I thought I'd share three of my favourite wedding blogs with you:

Little Miss Wedding - Designed for brides who are looking for something "boutique, unusual, fantastic or ridiculous".

Rock 'n Roll Bride - The perfect place for those of you who come out in a rash at the thought of a big poofy frock, and want to do things a little (or a lot) differently!

Style Me Pretty - 100% gorgeous, that's all I need to say.

And don't forget to check out the links to some of our favourite wedding suppliers (found on the right hand side of our blog).

We hope you enjoy the planning, and feel free to give us a shout if we can help with anything at all!

It's a new dawn...

Happy New Year! We hope you partied hard and that those of you who are busy planning your weddings (or are just married) managed to get some time out to relax too.

And congratulations to everyone who got engaged over the holidays. We've been hearing of some very romantic proposals taking place in the snow!

After a lovely break catching up with friends and family, it's business as usual here again - at least for one half of Elemental (Jay spent Christmas with his family in Ontario, Canada and is snowboarding there right now). It's hard being apart at this time of year, but we're very lucky to get to work together all year round, doing something which we both feel so passionate about.

We're really excited about 2010! We've got lots of incredible weddings coming up, along with some exciting new projects that we look forward to sharing with you over the coming weeks and months.

On a personal level, we will celebrate our third wedding anniversary in May, one of us will turn 30 in September (I won't say who) and Jay is to be best man at his best friend's wedding in Canada in December. So if he seems to be taking even more interest in the best man's speech than usual, you'll know why!
