Hi all

It's been a busy time since our last Blog in January, where does the time go. We have had 5 weddings to shoot, design the albums and edit the DVD's. Aileen now has her own edit suite and can edit the films on her own system. This keeps the photography and video seperate and will greatly improve our capacity and workflow and probably our relationship!

There have also been several wedding fayres to attend. The majority have been organised by Wedding Supermarket, they are well attended, well organised and an excellent opportunity to network with the other suppliers. 

Claire Hammell School of Dance booked us to film their dancing display at Larbert High School in March, a great night enjoyed by the girls and their families.

Marie & Michael featured in our January Blog, we have now produced a slideshow with some of their wedding photographs.

  
 


On the 14th of February John married Mags at the Royal Hotel, Bridge of Allan. The weather was cold but we still managed to get all the photographs and filming done outside. We received a nice compliment from the couple when they said " Our work was fantastic "

 
 
 
On the 9th of March Louise married Martin at Solsgirth House and we were booked to film their big day. We managed to get most shots outside, we received the under noted testimonial from the couple
 
" When planning our wedding we weren't sure whether to have it filmed or not...we are so glad we did. Nothing compares to the enjoyment on the day itself however being able to look back and see parts of the day you missed and reliving memories was worth every penny. Graham was fantastic on the day and the team have captured everything we wanted and more in compiling the DVD complete with the music we love most. I cannot recommend Graham Mackay Photography highly enough and look forward to watching our DVD over and over again! "
 
 
 
Airth Castle was where Nadia & Michael had their big day, it was a chilly 29th of March but again we were fortunate to get all of the photographs and filming done outside. We got some really good images, the Bride & Groom plus the Bridal party were all up for a laugh.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
It was a busy weekend at the end of March as we had another wedding on the 30th of March at Doune Castle and then onto the Inchyra Grange Hotel. This was a great wedding with
Nicola & Chris. Some nice photos to choose from
 



The Royal Hotel, Bridge of Allan was the lovely venue for the wedding of Paula & Lloyd on Saturday the 6th of April.  A lot of family came up from England and were subjected to some good Scottish hospitality!
 
  

 
 
 
 
Our Blog this month coincides with our April Newsletter which will be sent out to our database of Brides to be at the end of April.
 
OTHER NEWS
 
In February we were in the Costa Del Sol speaking to some Wedding planners to look at the costs involved to have your wedding in the sun along with your family and friends.  A wedding like this is not for everyone but with the right numbers and the opportunity to turn it into a honeymoon/holiday it does appeal to some people.  We spoke to Marbella Marriages www.marbellamarriages.com who recommended The Hotel Puente Romano along with many others. If any couples are interested in Spain as a possible venue for their wedding please let me know and I can pass on their details.
 
The end of April is as busy at the start of the month. On Saturday the 20th April we have a dancing display for Danielle School of Dance in Cumbernauld. On Wednesday we are off to the Centre for Health Science in Inverness for their 2 day seminar. We are booked to photograph the speakers and delegates.
 
NEW JOKE BOOK Published on line
 
Over the last 20 years we have filmed many wedding's and have taken a note of some of the best jokes from the speeches. With the number reaching nearly 100 I thought it would be a good opportunity to offer these to the guys as weddings are usually all about the girls!
 
This is a free and it can be downloaded from http://www.grahammackay.co.uk/jokebook.php
I hope some of the jokes can be used by the Groom, the Best Man and the Bride's Dad.
