Kirsty - Post Wedding Shoot

Kirsty was a wee star when we did this post wedding shoot. It was absolutely freezing, it was pelting down with rain, it was blowing a gale but she wanted to soldier on. We did the shoot at Tarlair by Macduff. The rock behind Kirsty is called the Needle's E'ee.

A post wedding shoot can be set up any way you want; there is only one rule, that is you have lots of fun! It can be done at any location (within reason!) and it doesn't matter if it's been 5 days, 5 months or 5 years since you've been married. In the USA it's known as 'Trash The Dress'. You don't have to trash it but Post Wedding Shoot sounds much nicer! For more information please contact me.

Nicole & Stephen

Nicole & Stephen are a cracking young couple that live in Boddam. I'm the photographer for their wedding later this year. I'm really looking forward to their wedding, when you see a couple that are obviously nuts about each other you know that the big day will be special. Some of their Engagement shots are below:

SWPP Convention

I am on the train to London as I write this. I’m on my way to the SWPP convention which runs from 14th – 19th January. It is the biggest photography convention in Europe and there are a whole range of speakers presenting that I’m really looking forward to hearing. There is a trade show happening at the convention also. I’m looking forward to this as there are a few suppliers that I want to meet. I’m hoping that I can secure access to some products that only a few or no other photographers have access to. On Sunday night is the Awards Dinner, being compeered by Phillipa Forrester. As I have mentioned in a previous post, my Highland Cow photo is through to the final of 2008 Pictorial Photographer of the Year. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

New Website

I always promised myself that when I got my licentiate qualification (LSWPP) I would upgrade my website. I’m pleased to say that this is now live and can be viewed at my usual web address www.sjwinchester.com . I would appreciate any feedback on the new site, e.g. are the images loading quickly enough.

Happy New Year!

We would like to take this opportunity on our first post of 2009 to wish you all the very best for the coming year. Lang may your lum reek!
