Jennifer and Raymond’s Wedding, 30th June 2011

Jennifer and Raymond married last Thursday at the Shetland Museum and Archives on the balcony outside Hay’s Dock.  After the service we went to the Jubilee Flower Park on King Harald Street which offered an excellent location for some photographs.  The happy couple and the wedding party then returned to the museum in order to cut the cake and enjoy their meal.  Here are a few images from Jennifer and Raymond’s big day.  I wish them all the very best.

Kelly and Neil’s Wedding, 17th June 2011

Kelly and Neil married last Friday at Sand Gairdins.  The weather during the week had not been very promising, but Kelly and Neil were treated to a beautiful summer’s day.  I met the groom and his best men in Lerwick before proceeding to Twatt to capture some images of the bride and her bridesmaids.  Everyone looked great, particularly Kelly in her stunning dress which was handmade by Sarah Laurenson.  It was a lovely and relaxed wedding with Kelly and Neil a pleasure to deal with.  I wish them all the best on their honeymoon and for the future.

 

Good luck guys.

Lerwick Town Hall on Wedding Night

Here is a picture I took at Diane and Dan’s wedding in July last year.  The happy couple were treated to a beautiful day of weather which was fortunate since their marriage was at St Ninian’s Isle.

I was bidding farewell at Lerwick Town Hall at about 11pm when I suggested to Diane and Dan that we try one more shot.  They had been very accommodating the whole day so it was no surprise that they agreed to my suggestion.  Brian Gifford, who had supplied the wedding car, kindly agreed to move the vehicle into position for this image.  It turned out to be one of my favourites from the day.

All the best to Diane and Dan for the future and thanks for a memorable day.

SMUHA 2011 – Brydon’s Big Day

Congratulations to Guizer Jarl Brydon Robertson aka Harald Maddadsson and his squad for leading a memorable South Mainland Up Helly Aa 2011.  After the success of last year it was going to be hard to reach similar heights, but Brydon and his squad carried it off with aplomb.  The squad’s singing was fantastic from start to finish and there was a great atmosphere throughout despite a mixed bag of weather.

The outfits were striking with the helmets being a particular highlight for me.  The pupils at the various schools visited during the day enjoyed trying on the helmet and holding the axe/shield.

My first photograph was taken just after 7am (Friday) and I packed up the camera at 4.30am (Saturday)!

Here is a selection of pictures to give you a flavour of the day.  I’ll be posting a comprehensive selection of images on my gallery very soon as well as squad photos I managed to capture.

Thanks to Brydon for letting me be part of his big day and to everyone else involved for making South Mainland Up Helly Aa 2011 a pleasure to photograph.
