Something new for Christmas but pretty damned cool. Our Iconic Scottish Location Portrait Sitting

I would be delighted to spend a day in your company, treat you to a little lunch and furnish you with some amazing photography, great stories and terrible jokes.

So this year, as is becoming tradition we are donating money that we would otherwise have spent on Christmas cards to charity. This year, one of our clients told us about a charity that is very close to home for them, yet its a condition I have never heard of before. Retts Syndrome which can have a devestating effect n young girls and their families. If you can, send a little love their way this year
https://www.reverserett.org.uk/…
Every year, rather than send out Omni-corporate Christmas cards, we make a donation to charity. 2 years ago it was the White Helmets in Syria, last year it was Help the Aged. This year I am turning it over to you. Do you have a charity that is close to you or important to your family? Comment below and lets help someone who is having a tougher Christmas than we are X
I met the lovely Sarah at a recent event who told me about her new business. As soon as she told me what she did my eyes lit up ! Customised Flip Flops !! I know you are already ahead of me now thinking; "bridesmaids, for the hen, for the wedding reception at night....omg honeymoon flipflops" etc
Give her page a wee like and see what you think
A few people have asked/emailed about the landscape prints I have for sale? Here you are. This is where they are for sale and on Saturday they a 'shopping event' with drink and free wrapping. Lillie Art Gallery in Milngavie
Past and future clients. What would you like for Christmas? (from you friendly neighbourhood photographer) I see so many gift vouchers, token amounts of money off, portrait sitting offers etc. But no one ever asks thier clients what they would like. So this is your oppertunity to tell Santa Stuart what I can do to help you this festive season?
What a great story. Will done NYPD
Happy Anniversary Stephanie and Alvin =D Wee throwback to the good old days when you could use the jetty for pictures at CH

Happy Anniversary Niki and Steven XX
A quick question for our B2B and our recently married clients.
Do you / Did you - have any fears or concerns about your wedding photography?
The number one worry we hear is 'we dont want it to take up too much time' Does this chime with you ?
I have honestly shot a few weddings where the bromance between Groom and Bestman is palpable...... nothing on this level though =D
A complete no brainer as far as Xmas presents go. 10% off all reprint orders and free shipping.
FYI Folks
Colour. Style. Glamour. Rapport.
Sorry folks. More bad news for the Scottish Wedding industry and our brides
highly recommended! All I can say is "!!!!!" - you have made me absolutely speechless - thanks for all! Your pics will keep this day in lovely memories for ever! Also all of our guests are so very impressed! They all loved the way you interacted with them too! 1500 photography will be the best decision relating to the choice of a perfect wedding photographer!
You can't find a better team to photograph your wedding! Wow! We were so impressed with Stuart and Gillian, our guest's are still talking about how amazing they were! We got married yesterday, 3rd September, in Aberfoyle and the weather was really poor but Stuart and Gillian were on the ball to ensure we still got every photo we wanted. We were really nervous about being the centre of attention but they made us feel so comfortable and we were laughing all day long. We haven't received our photos yet but I know we will be blown away with every one of them. I'm not one to normally give a review but these two deserve it - they worked really hard and gillian went over and above to help me throughout the day, she held my dress, provided tissues, drinks and encouragement all day long. You won't find a better team to be there to document your special day- thank you so much Stuart and Gillian xx
Where to begin... Such wonderful people with an amazing talent! Stuart is so easy going and fun to be around and Gillan so helpful and friendly. Our day was perfect thanks to their friendly and fun approach. I wish we could do it all again just so we could work with them one more time. Thank you so much for everything and we can't wait to see the pictures!
Well what can I say !! Stuart and Gillian you were absolutely brilliant yesterday ! I cannot wait
to see our wedding photographs I know they will be amazing!! From that first night you came to see us (the 2 hour night) we knew we had found an absolute professional and also it felt like we had known you forever .... Thank you for everything that rapport you had with us was what made me feel so at ease yesterday despite being very nervous in lead up ... And you know the saying behind every good man there is a brilliant woman and that's the fantastic Gillian .... I actually until kevin told me today had no idea the "dress work" she was doing behind me !! Just brilliant and fantastic with my little Aimee too Would recommend you to everyone ! Thanks again
We have just arrived home from the most incredible honeymoon and we wanted to post a special dedication to our wedding photographer.
Our wedding on Friday 7th July 2017 at Luss Church, followed by a reception at Cameron House was the best day of our lives and we look forward to reliving this happy day through our wedding album.
A huge thank you to 1500 photography for playing an important part in our wedding day and capturing our special moments. Stuart and Gillian were a fantastic support from start to finish. The seamless organisation of our consultation meetings and tour of Cameron House immediately put us both at ease and filled us with excitement as our big day was approaching.
Stuart and Gillian were extremely professional and were keen to include all of our personal touches to the day in order to make it truely unique.
Our wedding guests have commented about how approachable you both were and your fantastic attention to detail, including location of shots and keeping timings on track!
We would highly recommend your exceptional service to our family and friends. We are now looking forward to working with you both to create our wedding album.
Thank you,
The Newlyweds, Mr & Mrs Maitland

We have been meaning to leave this review for so long, but looking back on our spectacular wedding album on our 2nd anniversary finally jogged us to it. We could not have asked for a better photography team! Not only did we end up with the most beautiful photographs, but Stuart and Gillian put us completely at ease, we were able to have a good laugh and even geek out about a few things. I think it is safe to say that our special day would not have been so special without them and we certainly wouldn't have as clear memories of that special feeling two years on as we do.
We celebrated our wedding in February of this year at the beautiful Cameron House on the banks of Loch Lomond. What a dilemma it was in choosing our wedding photographer for our special day. However, at the Cameron House wedding fair we were introduced to 1500 Photography - albeit we didn't have the pleasure in meeting Gillian we were introduced to a very friendly effervescent chap Stuart.
Stuart he was absolutely brilliant... He quickly put us at ease and suggested a further meeting nearer the date to put our and his suggestions forward.
On the big day Stuart had to come up with some contingency plan as we had poor weather. However, his professionalism and organisation skills were second to none and this was organised with minimal disruption. We can also add that his friendly and comedic banter made us and our guests totally relaxed.
Then there was the wait for our USB stick and photographs. Disappointed.? Absolutely NOT!
They were terrific.
We would have no hesitation in recommending 1500 Photography. A BIG thank you Stuart.
Best Wishes.
Carol & Sheila xx
We can't thank Stuart and Gillian enough for all their hard work and help throughout the planning, on our big day, and even beyond our wedding. What a fantastic team, they put both Calum and myself at complete ease while our photographs were being taken. Such a laugh too, not only for us but also our guests. We have had so many compliments on the photos we have had a sneak preview of on Facebook and have been left super excited to see the complete set of pictures (can't wait to put the album together) I was so appreciative of Gillian's help with my dress - getting from A to B lifting my train and veil. Both Calum and I will be recommending 1500 Photography to all friends looking to get married.
Stuart was without question the best photographer we could have asked for. From the beginning he made us feel very relaxed and made it clear that the day was about us. On the day he was professional but great fun and this came through in the photos. So many guests commented on how good the photographer was. We had complete trust in Stuart and the photos and albums did not disappoint. We love them all! Thank you Stuart for capturing our precious moments so perfectly.
Stuart was amazing, put everyone at ease and even made my granny smile (a first). Well organised and just simply a delight to have around capturing the day yet not being intrusive. I couldn’t recommend him more. Love our pictures and the memories they have helped keep.
Stuart was FANTASTIC at our wedding this weekend. We've just had the taster shots through and they're out of this world, we cannot WAIT for the rest:) Stuart was a joy to have around on the day, he was so much fun while working out the posed shots and the rest of the time so wonderfully discreet, I cannot recommend his services highly enough! Thank you Stuart, from The Howards x
Stuart was FANTASTIC at my sisters wedding on the 06 May 2018 at the beautiful lake of menteith hotel , as maid of honour and a guest at my sisters wedding it was a joy to have our photos taken by Stuart , he was so much fun while taking all the family photos and group shots as well as being so patient at the same time . I cannot recommend Stuart’s services enough especially if you have small children in your wedding party. Stuart was able to get wonderful shots of my three year old and 5 month old by getting there attention with all his secret attention tactics and the photos from the taster shots look amazing . I cannot recommend his services highly enough and the bonus being not only is he a fantastic photographer but a great guy too to have at any wedding ! Thank you Stuart, from The Stirling’s xx
Stuart is professional, efficient and extremely experienced, as well as a lot of fun to have around on your special day! He even provides safety pins and crochet hooks -
great service with a smile. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job of shooting our venue Carrick Castle Estate - I will be sending all our brides your way!
Stuart is professional and certainly knows what he is doing. Stuart met myself and my fiancée today so he could practice, hone and develop his skills and we were happy to be involved.
We were made so welcome and it was as if Stuart was someone we knew for many years. We had such a great laugh and have decided that we want Stuart to take our photos when we come back from our wedding abroad. I can not explain how phenomenal Stuart is and his work really is exceptional along with his customer service which is second to none. I didn't want our photoshoot to end, we had such a great time..... Till next time ;)
Stuart and Gillian were a huge part of our day! They have given us the most precious memories to cherish forever and they made us feel comfortable without imposing. A few of our guests are going to be hiring them soon and I'm proud to recommend them. Thank you for everything you done for us! It's true what they say a photographer can make or break a wedding and u definatley made it!
Stuart and Gillian provided us with such an amazing service on Saturday. From our initial meeting with Stuart last year we felt really confident that he understood what we were looking for from our day.
Stuart and Gillian were in the background getting on with everything throughout the day which made us feel like we could relax and be ourselves. They knew everyone's names and worked well with our ushers to get everyone where they needed to be for the formal pictures. They work well as a team to be both professional and friendly.
I would recommend 1500 to all of my friends, can't wait to see the pictures!

Stuart and Gillian did the photography for our wedding on Saturday and we couldn't be more pleased with having found them! We haven't seen the pictures yet obviously but can't wait. We have had many comments from people about how smooth the whole experience was - they were efficient and friendly and we easily got through all the shots. It felt like we were working with good friends. Thank you so much for making it all so easy - can't wait to see the finished articles!
I really can't believe it has taken this long to thank Stuart and Gillian for not only their incredible shots that captured our special occasion, but also the unrivalled support they provided on the day. We actually had two days with the marvellous pair as we had our couple shots the day before our ceremony and on both days they were almost like friends rather than a team providing a wonderful service. Can't recommend 1500 photography enough, service and photographs both amazing! Wedding guests still commenting on how good the photography team were! My mum even sent a personal email of thanks! Again many thanks guys! All our love, Ben & Hugh xx
Boy, did I get lucky with Stuart and his beautiful and gorgeous side kick, Gillian, from 1500 Photography!
Stuart came to visit me before the big day to get an idea of what I wanted/liked and a wee bit about our families. Any special requests for photos were duly entertained with nothing too much trouble for them. Stuart and Gillian took some really fantastic pictures: they even turned up at Mar Hall with a vintage umbrella so that we could have some photos taken outside in the rain!
Professional, efficient and just downright fantastic people, who just happen to be at the top of their game when it comes to taking fabulous and innovative photos! Without hesitation, I would recommend 1500 to use as your wedding photographer!
Thanks, guys, you were just amazing!
Best wishes,
Evie & Stevie
