Its all change at Margaret McAtier Photography ! A recent move to Falkirk has meant I now have a very lovely client viewing room, complete with sample albums, frames, a very comfy settee and pretty much always a slice of homemade carrot cake ! So if you are in the stages of planning your wedding and want to discuss things feel free to get in touch and make an appointment…I love talking about weddings !

Vicki and Iains Wedding at Glenfinnan House

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:35:21 +0000

On a week where the grey skies and rain had been continuous, Vicki and Iain’s wedding day drew pretty much the same. It seemed a shame as the location of Glennfinnan House is spectacular, being right on the shore of Loch Sheil close to Fort William.
Vicki and Iain had planned to be married right down by the shore but it seemed destined not to happen ….. until half an hour before the ceremony when the clouds began lifting and the sun came out.

A really beautiful wedding, just as Vicki and Iain had to described to me a couple of months earlier when we met up.
A special mention to best man Alex who did a fantastic job of helping me organise the family photos extremely quickly and efficiently !

The mood of the entire wedding was one of laughter. Vicki seems to have a way of enjoying every minute which is a great way to spend your wedding day and indeed your life … serious photos not an option on this day but many photos full of laughter.
And heres some of the photos that demonstrate just how much laughter went on !

Austria

Just back from a trip to Leogang in Salzburg with travel writer Jenny McBain. We were lucky enough to stay in the very luxurious spa hotel Der Krallerhof which was just as well considering the rain and midst was so constant that I didn’t even catch a glimpse of the Alps just outside the hotel until a few hours before our departure. The clouds did eventually part for me to get a few shots in though !

Article in Photo Pro Magazine

This month saw a feature published in Photo Pro magazine around the subject of “photographer on photographer”. A project I started last year involved networking with a few of my photographer friends to photograph each other by way of gaining professional images for mutual benefit as well as using the time to experiment a little and push boundaries.

I must say that in addition to this, I also came away with a far greater understanding of how my clients feel at the other side of my camera …
Yes, thats all of you who come to me a little anxious about being photographed ! The end result was a series of portraits for both me and my fellow photographers which were really fun to create.

Janey and duncan came over from the Isle of Lewis to be married in Inverness with their reception held at Achangairn House by Beauly. Stormy weather made it difficult for many guests travel plans but despite this the wedding went perfectly and we even managed to do all the photographs outside.
Janey made a very beautiful bride and you were both a pleasure to photograph…. Wishing you all the happiness for your future together ..

Rachel and Andy’s wedding – Ullapool

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 08:28:05 +0000

There must have been a fair few people looking nervously out of the window checking every hour for signs of a break in the weather (including me !), the morning of Rachel and Andy’s wedding. It seemed like winter had come to Ullapool the weekend of 12th june with grey skies and rain that looked determined to stay.
The wedding was set to take place at the very beautiful outdoor location of leckmelm gardens just outside Ullapool.
Unbelievably the weather started to clear half an hour before the ceremony and stayed clear until just as we finished taking photographs of the couple and they were heading back to the car. The same can’t be said of the midges as they were definitely hanging around in droves to watch the ceremony….
An very lovely Humanist ceremony was followed by drinks and congratulations in the gardens. Overall a really relaxed and intimate wedding which made for a great day .. just as the couple had hoped for.

I have known Rachel for a good few years now and its so nice to see her new found happiness … You make a lovely family !
