The end of the year 2011 by David
December 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
As the end of the year comes we all start to look back at 2011. This has been a great year for me both personally and professionally. I joined Janie Barclay Photography at the beginning of the wedding season. With several year's photographic experience under my belt this unexpected opportunity arose totally out of the blue and really excited me - talk about fate! We have had such an amazing season and I have loved every minute. The things that really sticks out in my mind is the super … [Read more...]

Laurie and David’s wedding at Maryculter House Hotel
November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Maryculter House was the venue for the wedding this summer of Laurie and David. It was the perfect day. I love the history of these old Scottish houses around Aberdeen. Maryculter House was founded on the site where the Knights Templar built a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in about 1227. The ruins of this Chapel can be seen in the old kirkyard next to the hotel where we always go to take photos. When it was built the chapel was a sophisticated, refined Gothic … [Read more...]
Emma and Shaun at Thainstone House Hotel
November 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The 1st of July was Emma and Shaun's big day. They chose to get married in Thainstone House Hotel. This is one of my favourite hotels in rural Aberdeenshire - a beautiful old Palladian Mansion situated between Aberdeen and Inverurie - full of charm and warmth and friendly, helpful staff. It's history is interesting - in the 18th Century, the Jacobites put Thainstone to torch. It's owner James Wilson of Thainstone escaped the fire and fled to America where he later put his name to the American … [Read more...]
Lochnagar and Cuidhe Crom
November 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I was looking at this photo thinking it could be a photograph of the surface of the moon, or maybe the end of the world? Looks pretty bleak, and it was so cold. My two sons David and Jamie decided to have a go at climbing Lochnagar so I thought I'd go with them. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be so extreme. We didn't get to the top in the end of because of the ice and wind, but we did get to the top of a mountain beside it called Cuidhe Crom a Murdo. The first two photos below … [Read more...]
James and Craig’s Wedding Album – The Town House and Rox Hotel, Aberdeen
October 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment
James and Craig's wedding was memorable enough, but the fun we had afterwards creating their 'masterpiece of an album' topped even that! We eventually decided to call it a day when we got to 80 pages! I am very happy to say they were delighted with it (and so was I!) and this is what they said: Hi Janie! Well, we got home on Saturday after being at yours and opened our album! WOW! We are SO chuffed with it....the time we took to get it just right was well worth it! It looks so amazing, even … [Read more...]

Had such a great evening at the Kemunto Fashion Show on Friday (www.kemuntofashion.com) held at the Pearl Lounge (www.thepearlloungeaberdeen.co.uk). It was a wonderful experience for me and I enjoyed every minute. Everyone was so friendly and full of fun - and the dresses and models were stunning. Have a look at some of them: We even found time at the beginning of the evening before the rush started to play around with some lighting techniques, and of course we had the perfect … [Read more...]

I know I have lots of weddings to put up, and I can't wait to do that, but I just want to mention an amazing day I had in Edinburgh with Faye and Trevor Yerbury on their 'Shoot In The City' in June. What a wonderful couple they are and how generous they were with their knowledge. I met some really interesting people there as well and the whole day was inspiring! They had two beautiful models called Sky and Satu ....... Follow this link for some VERY INTERESTING thoughts from Trevor in his … [Read more...]
