Steven headed out last night with the Photo Booth to the first of the christmas party nights being held at The  Macdonald Cardrona Hotel.  With few photo booths in Scotland there was great interest surrounding  it.  Groups of workmates and friends took advantage of the service, having fun with the props provided and going away,  within a few minutes,  with a print in hand.

Harry and I always feel it is a privilege  to be involved in a couple’s wedding day – this certainly was true of our latest one.   Rachel who is Scottish, and Jose who is Argentinian, married at Mellerstain House in the Borders.  Their story is certainly one of true love.  Rachel walked into an Art Gallery in Argentina while on holiday.  She met Jose who spoke no English but managed, through an interpretor, to invite her to view his film, showing in the gallery.  At the end she kissed him.  A few days later she emailed her mother to say she was not coming home.   Two years or so later they married.

You can view their Wedding Slideshow if you visit my ‘Sheila Scott Photography’  Facebook page.

If anyone is looking to use their photographs for gifts with a difference I have sourced, through one of my suppliers, this company.     Definitely worth a look for brides and grooms, married or about to be married.  Also for anyone else looking for some gift ideas for Christmas Presents.   PinholePress

Autumn is always a lovely time of year to shoot weddings in the Scottish Borders.  The last few weeks we have been lucky enough to photograph a number of weddings at venues like Duns Castle, The Roxburghe and Dryburgh, all of which offering lovely backgrounds and surroundings – regardless of the weather!

Busy few weeks coming up with wedding showcase’s.  First, this Sunday 25th September when the photo booth will be showcased for the first time at Cardrona between 2 and 4pm.  Following this the Roxburghe Hotel has their showcase on Sunday 9th October, again when the booth will be featured.   For everything wedding related, a visit to The Borders Wedding Show on 23rd October is a must for all brides and grooms planning their wedding.  We will have two stands – one for Sheila Scott Photography and one for the Borders Photo Booth.  Come and visit us if you can.

Harry and I had two weddings at  Dalmahoy at the weekend.   Catriona and Iain on Friday and Mark and Lynne on Saturday married at St. Mary’s

Alastair and Charlotte travelled up from Walthamstow for their wedding at Dryburgh Abbey Hotel yesterday.

Linsey and Gary married at Melville Castle on Friday  on what turned out to be a very hot day

The last two weeks have proved ‘challenging’ in the usual scottish weather.  However both Saturday weddings have fortunately been held at locations that are lovely both inside and out – always a benefit for the photographer.

Hayley and Liam married at Ednam last saturday (fortunately for us at 12 mid day)  and held their wedding reception at Dryburgh.  A brief stop off at Scotts View on the way there,  prior to the rain coming on, allowed us to capture one or two outside shots.  The rest were done inside the hotel at Dryburgh.

Yesterday we were at Abbotsford House for Lisa and Mark’s Wedding.  Again the heavens opened but what a  location, inside, to be forced to use due to the weather!!!!
