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.

Viking Parade – Clickimin Loch
I was out and about late last night capturing some photographs of the special Viking procession to mark the close of Shetland Hamefarin 2010.
The Clickimin Loch lights were switched off during the parade so I made this image once the famous landmark was displayed in all its glory.
If you look closely you’ll see some swans who returned to the loch after some 400 guizers took part in a torch-lit parade around Clickimin Loch. The parade culminated in the the burning of a specially prepared galley which marked the end of Shetland Hamefarin 2010.
Photos of the parade to follow.

Joanna & Lorenzo’s Hamefarin
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Joanna and Lorenzo Cicchiello’s Hamefarin. It was great to see Joanna again and to meet Lorenzo for the first time. I was particularly impressed by Lorenzo’s willingness to give all the traditional Shetland dances his full commitment!
Joanna and Lorenzo live in South Eastern Connecticut , one of the six states in New England. They were married in a Roman Catholic Church called Saint Mary’s which is located on the outskirts of Norwich City.
I’m currently making the final adjustments to their Hamefarin album design and then it’ll be sent to the printers.
I wish them both all the best for the future.
