Studio 4

Pictured below are a series of images from last week’s photo shoot at Lerwick hairdresser Studio 4.  

Studio 4 are working in conjuction with Babbs Clubb of Anesthesiashetland who specialises in make-up for weddings, special occasions, parties and groups.  They are forming a joint alliance providing hairdressing/make-up packages to bridal parties.

The shoot lasted from 9am right through until 7.30pm although the time seemed to fly by.  Everyone involved did a fantastic job and there was great camaraderie the whole day.

I hope you enjoy the images below.  If you would like to find out more information, please contact Babbs Clubb on 07760168830.

Guizer Jarl John Hunter aka Johan Sanderrevet of Valsgärde

Guizer Jarl John Hunter stands in oven like conditions to pose for photographs after the burning of galley Jägere.

I heard John mention to a reporter earlier in the day that this was the proudest day of his life.  Throughout the day John and his Jarl Squad were a credit to the event.  The amount of work that went into the organisation of the event, not mentioning the fantastic Viking outfits, must have been immense.

Theo is now fourteen months old and Bobby is a month shy of his second birthday.  Thanks to mothers Carina and Valene for helping out during the photo shoot.

Lisa & Stephen’s Hamefarin

We recently covered Lisa Woodside and Stephen Glaister’s Hamefarin by taking them down to their chosen destination of St Ninian’s Isle, Bigton.

This was my second photo shoot at St Ninian’s Isle this summer and again the weather was absolutely glorious.  As a result the beach was very busy with people enjoying the fine day.  We had a great time photographing Lisa and Stephen despite the midges!

Lisa is originally from Bangor in Northern Ireland but moved to Shetland a few years ago.  Lisa is now working for the Shetland Islands Council at Hayfield House.

Stephen is employed by T & N Joinery and used to stay in Mossbank.

The Hamefarin was held afterwards at the Sandwick Social Club where there was a meal for 40 close family and friends.  Music was supplied by 6-piece folk-rock band Scaldin’ Bragg which added an Irish element to the evening.  Everyone had a great time and danced the night away.

Lisa and Stephen now live in Sandwick.  I would like to thank them for letting us cover their Hamefarin and wish them all the best for their future together.

Diane and Dan’s Perfect Summer Wedding

Last Saturday I had the honour of photographing Diane and Dan’s wedding at St Ninian’s Isle, Bigton.  I flew back on the Friday to meet the bride and groom having been on a short break.  I grew up with Diane at Sandwick Junior High School and the Anderson High School; however, this was the first time I’d had the pleasure of meeting Dan. They both live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.  Diane is a Crime Scene Investigator while Dan is a Telecoms Analyst.

Friday’s weather was atrocious with heavy rain putting Saturday’s beach wedding in doubt.  However, on Saturday we were treated to the most perfect summer’s day with glorious blue skies and virtually no breeze at all.  Diane and Dan were a delight to deal with and were very keen, like me, to take advantage of the photographic opportunites due to the stunning weather.

Diane is extremely creative and made a lot of the decorations herself.  The beads on the bow of the shoe are an example.

Ibiza?!  No, this is St Ninian’s Isle, Bigton, Shetland!!  A toast to the happy couple.

I love this photo.  Thanks to the best man, Ben (good name!), ushers and page boy, Harry, for making the effort to get this image.

Diane’s bouquet was also hand-made.  She made the bouquet for maid of honour, Amanda, bridesmaid, Heather and flower girl, Zahra – amazing.  It must have taken her ages.

We took advantage of the wild flowers which were blooming in the fine summer’s day.

The reception was held at the Town Hall.  Congratulations to Billy, Robert and the rest of the team for putting on a excellent function.  The Town Hall which was opened in 1883 is a beautiful building, so I couldn’t resist getting some images of Diane and Dan inside.

They are now heading off to spend ten days in Hawaii Big Island for their honeymoon, calling at San Francisco for two nights en-route.

I wish Diane and Dan the very best for the future and thank you for letting us cover your big day.
