* OUR CHECKLIST *

Please compare us with other photographers in the area.

* Imaginative relaxed CREATIVE wedding photography

We make the photography a part of your wedding, not an interuption to it.

* TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS at every wedding ...

... with Anne shooting pure reportage, usually in B&W and Rod doing the casually organised pictures. There is no better coverage for your wedding photography.

* The AWARD WINNING wedding and portrait specialist in S.W. Scotland

Many Master Photographer awards in wedding & studio photography including twice MPA Scottish Portrait Photographer of the Year. We are not aware of any other photographers in S.W. Scotland with similar awards.

* The highest QUALIFIED Master photographer in S.W. Scotland

LRPS or LMPA (Licenceship) is the basic level and recognises a degree of technical and artistic skill whilst ARPS or AMPA (Associate) is much more difficult to achieve and recognises higher skilled photographers with artistic flair. Rod is qualified even higher with AMPA FRPS MPAGB & MFIAP - probably the only photographer in Scotland with such a combination of distinctions. Get the best for your wedding photography

* Choose your images for your DVD/CD

Your pictures are provided on DVD or CD as large high-resolution jpeg files capable of printing at any size from 6”x4” to 30”x20”. We provide a “licence” so that you can have them printed at any photo lab in any form including, glossy or lustre prints, photo books and canvas wraps. You can also upload them easily to websites including Facebook and Bebo although you may need to resize them for this purpose. Rod can help with this if you require it and, for a small additional fee, can even supply a second disc with images optimised for websites.

* Nearly 200 pictures to choose from

We will take up to 400 shots depending on time and opportunity, normally edited to a proof selection of nearly 200, including, if you wish, photographs at the Bride’s home, at the marriage venue, before, during and after the wedding, signing the register, cutting the cake plus a photoshoot in the reception grounds or at another specially selected location. These will be provided as watermarked 6x4 proofs so that you can choose the images you want for your DVD/CD.So much more choice than other wedding photographers and exciting creative wedding photography

* Colour and B&W

The number of photographs we take is never restricted by the size of package you choose and you only need to commit to the minimum order of 30 photographs on a DVD/CD. You may increase this number after the wedding but there is no commitment to do so and there will be absolutely no “sales pressure”!

Optimised Images for Your Website

As well as High-Resolution images we can provide smaller, web optimised pictures for your website or for Facebook and Bebo.

* No HIDDEN extras and many FREE extras

Much more than just wedding photography - the extras even include a FREE studio "engagement" shoot with free photographs.

Scottish Wedding photographers

If you are planning a marriage or a civil partnership in Scotland, we will provide an exciting wedding album in a harmonious mix of reportage photographs and relaxed traditional photography. You will have two photographers at your wedding, including a female photographer shooting pure photo-journalism style images, usually in B&W, sepia or monochrome. Dumfries in S.W. Scotland is well situated to service the whole of the Scottish Borders and the Lake District.

or a Humanist Wedding Ceremony?

Gerrie Douglas-Scott

I am a legally registered officiant of Humanist weddings. I now live between Wigtown and Glasgow. Humanist weddings can take anywhere that is safe (and not just registered places.

My approach to weddings

Whatever works best for you! I always send samples of real weddings where couples have said they would be happy to share their vows and words. We can meet to discuss and decide what you would like. I often draft the ceremony, but sometimes people like to ‘cut and paste’ bits from other ceremonies and do it all by email – and I’ll make sure the legal bit is in. From my perspective, the most important thing is that you have the ceremony that best reflects your love – whatever that means to you. I love to include guests or family in expressing their wishes for you too and if you have children, we can give them a special role
