Cara & Phil...Glasgow rocks pre-wed shoot

As Seen On Love Olio When Cara and Phil asked me to photograph their wedding next year, without knowing any of the details I knew it was going to be one to get excited about.

During my first skype chat with them both, it was clear the way they felt about each other. They couldn't keep their hands off each other and they couldn't stop making each other laugh - the perfect combination in a couple for any wedding photographer.

Cara was keen to do a pre-wed shoot in advance of their big day next year to get used to the camera and to get some pics of them together. Cara knew the places that would mean the most to them for the shoot and I was over the moon when she said where they were - only some of the coolest music venues in Glasgow - yeeeeha!

Cara & Phil both work in the music industry you see and met whilst on tour with the same band. Both have worked in the venues we used and knew every nook, cranny, dressing room and fire escape. In all the venues in the world they've worked in the Barrowlands, Nice'n'Sleazy and King Tuts are their faves!

It was such a lovely way to spend an afternoon...getting to know them a little bit better...Phil just has Cara in stitches - constantly, Cara does 'sultry' really well and they both just bounce of each other so naturally - I think sometimes they even forgot I was there. Perfect!

The plans for their wedding sound phenomenal and I can't wait to get them back in front of the camera!

So I've 'just' got my laptop back after a week... and I'm finally getting round to posting a quick glimpse from my pre-wed shoot with the gorgeous and soooo totally in love couple, Cara & Phil.

Cara & Phil's story is totally rock'n'roll and I'm so excited about being their photographer next year at the amazing wedding they are planning!

I'll share more about the couple in this weekends full blog post... but for now here's a little something to whet your appetite.

Donna & Iain...classic wedding with a vintage twist!

UK Wedding BlogIt's great meeting a bride & groom who know exactly what they want... and this certainly was the case with Donna & Iain. From the first meeting with them they were really clear, not only on the style of photography they wanted but on every other detail of their wedding day.

Lovers of everything and anything from the 1960's and 1970's the couple wanted to add a touch of that passion to their wedding...and they did...with real class!

I loved the mini 45's they had as they're place names, their favourite albums they had for their table names and the vintage beetle and old London bus they had as the wedding cars...this wedding was most certainly 'up my street'.

To top it all off the wedding breakfast and reception venue is one of the most sought after in Glasgow and really stunning... all in all a photographers dream.
