Sandra and Mark married at the town hall in St Andrews Scotland in a delightfully intimate ceremony, Sandra is from South Africa and came all the way to St Andrews for her wedding, she and new husband Mark love their golf and with Mark originating from Scotland there couldn't be a better place.
I was honoured to not only photograph the wedding but also to have been Sandra's other witness, along with her sister Paula. This is a wedding I'll remember for a long time to come. After the short ceremony Sandra and Marks wish was to have as many photographs as they could at the historic sites in St Andrews so pretty much thats what we got up to over the next couple of hours.

Running to keep warm at St Andrews Cathedral!

Down by a rather stormy chilly sea front.

With Sister Paula.

In the Quadrangle of St Andrews University.

Delightfully Vintage

One of my favourites which really deserves to be seen to it's full effect on a huge canvas, it's the home of golf, on the old course.

I just want to take this opportunity to wish Sandra and Mark a long and very happy marraige.

This is Pauls "I'm Chilled to the bone" portrait taken today in St Andrews, teehee he thinks he was cold but I couldn't feel the ends of my fingers!!

So Brides, Ask your wedding photographer if they do a reckie before the day of the wedding to scope out cool and interesting places for your bridal portraits, couple portraits and formal groups. I'm renowned for my reckies and we arrived in Scotland, and zipped straight to St Andrews to check out photographic vistas for Sandra and Marks wedding tommorrow. There is no shortage of beautiful places to take photographs in St Andrews and even on a freezing cold snowy Thursday there's plenty of eye candy!
This is called the quadrangle and forms part of St Andrews University, (thats the one Prince William attended) The front of the building is also pretty gorgeous.


The sea looked so stormy and I'm not sure I would have wanted to be in a boat today


Just around the corner is the Cathedral -


Wowza, it's stunning even when it's stormy!
