I really enjoyed the time with Kate & Lee as they tied the knot at the Old Black Smiths in Gretna Green. As you can see, I just tried to stay in the background for some reportage style photography as the couple enjoyed some champagne on the balcony of the overlooking Smith’s hotel. Initially it was just the three of us but we had to drag a couple off the street to be witnesses, they were over the moon and it certainly made their day, leaving them with lasting memories of their visit to Gretna Green. We finished off the shoot with a few modern posed pictures around Smiths Hotel.


For a midweek wedding with coverage for 1-2 hours, I normally charge in the region of £295 and provide the images on a disc for you to print out as you like. This is fantastic value particularly when you view the quality of our work.

Just had a lovely little wedding in Gretna that I thought I would share with you. Emma and Ben flew in from Dubai to join the 4-5000 couples a year that choose Gretna as their wedding location. They chose to marry in the beautiful Anvil Hall, then followed with their reception at the award winning four star hotel Smiths.
