There are so many nice things I can say about how kind and generous and welcoming Claire and Matthew are, but I’ll just keep it simple: If I ever have a daughter, I hope she marries someone like Matthew, and if I ever have a son, I hope he marries someone like Claire.
Images from their day after session here.
It’s been nearly 2 years since we were in Scotland. I posted the first half months back, but it’s taken me so long to get through the images from the second half of our trip. Those days were filled with some of my favorite memories: sheep and cow traffic jams, swimming in fairy pools in our underwear, eating a birthday picnic on top of a random hill we climbed together, and seeing the most beautiful light I’ve ever seen in my entire.
The highlands of Scotland were staggeringly gorgeous, and the Isle of Skye is easily the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. Looking at these images simultaneously fills me with wonder and sadness. Scotland is the one place on God’s green earth that my heart will always ache for. The Coolins have put their love on me, and they aren’t letting go.
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
By heather tracks wi’ heaven in their wiles.
If it’s thinkin’ in your inner heart the braggart’s in my step
You’ve never smelled the tangle o’ the Isles.
Oh the far Coolins are puttin’ love on me
As step I wi’ my cromack to the Isles.
If you’re getting married in the highlands of Scotland, and are looking for a wedding photographer, I want to talk to you. Send me an email.
all the <3s to you, my friend. i can almost feel the wind and smell the heavenly gorse…
Absolutely stunning. What an incredible trip you guys must have had, I recognize a few places (I think!) from my own trip there in october. 
I loved every bit of Scotland.
I’m sitting here trying to come up with a word to sum up 2013, and I realized the only one I can come up with is the same one I used in 2012. This year has been a progression, on so many levels. I’ve progressed in my personal and professional life in ways I couldn’t have foreseen. I’ve grown. I’ve taken risks. I’ve had glorious photographic failures, and at the same time, successes that have surpassed them. I have pushed myself as an artist, and a storyteller. I’ve created work I’m proud of, and worked with people who allowed me the space to create.
To my 2013 brides and grooms, consider this a love letter. Consider this a thank you. Consider this a tribute. You all have been a part of my progression. You have all opened your lives up to me and made me, even for one day, feel like I’m a part of your family. You have all pushed me. For that, I am grateful.
To the couples I will be working with in 2014, consider this a warning. You’ve got big shoes to fill.
Heather your photography is incredibly beautiful. I love how you arranged these in a wedding day timeline. Keep it up, you get better every year
