Pre-Wedding Shoot: Jason & Claire
Written by Andi Watson on 06 Jun 2011
At the end of this month I have the privilege of photographing the wedding of Jason & Claire at Orocco Pier in Queensferry, Edinburgh. It's wonderful taking pictures of two people who are clearly in love - as a wedding photographer it's all about capturing those little moments that a couple share together. As I've said in this Notebook many times before, this works best when the couple are just being themselves and acting naturally. However, like many people I know, Jason & Claire are not big fans of having their picture taken and so we took the opportunity to have a quick Pre-Wedding shoot at the venue in order to help them feel more relaxed on the big day itself.

It was definitely a successful trip. Thankfully, the couple had a great time and it helped them know what to expect when we take the wedding photographs. It also gave us some great photographs!

The backdrop to several of the photos was the spectacular Forth Rail Bridge. Jason & Claire are hoping to get married on the beach just outside of Orocco Pier, which will be a wonderful setting. Let's just hope the weather is good!

Check back with the Notebook in the beginning of July for some photographs of the wedding itself, hopefully in lovely sunshine!

Claire & Jason - Queensferry Wedding
Written by Andi Watson on 27 Jul 2011
Last month I shot a beautiful wedding at Orocco Pier in Queensferry, Edinburgh. Claire & Jason are a wonderful couple. Throughout the photographs they were very much up for a laugh which made for a very relaxed day. I was glad nothing too stressful happened as Rebecca was assisting me, and at that time was 8 months pregnant, and we wouldn't have wanted to overshadow Claire's big day by having a baby at the venue!
Just like in their Engagement Shoot we used the Forth Rail Bridge as a backdrop to many of the photos. There are great views of the bridge from Orocco Pier and it just added something a little bit different to the images.
The rain just about held off which meant Claire & Jason were able to have their ceremony out on the beach. This was the first time I'd photographed a beach ceremony and I really enjoyed it. It certainly gave proceedings a different atmosphere being outside rather than inside a dark church.
All in all it was a fantastic day!
