A lovely couple of hours spent with Ana and Michael and old course wee Molly.
The happy couple have been very kind and allowed me to post some images and also have passed on the comment below.
'We were delighted with them and everyone we've shown them to has commented in a most positive light. We couldn't be happier so thank you.'
Small weddings and elopements are something that I really enjoy.
Hope you like the photos.

Here are a few photos from the last week, I hope you like them.
Monday 26th February was the launch of the 2018 BVAC Vintage Car Rally at Thirlestane Castle in Lauder , a very cold day with snow showers didn't dampen the spirits of BVAC members who brought several lovely cars along for the event.
Tuesday 22nd February - Leaderfoot Viaduct looking spectacular as the first significant snowfall arrived.
From Wednesday 22nd February onwards Lauder and the Borders was affected by around 16inches of snow and large drifting due to the increasing winds.
Large icicles made for amazing scenes on Lauder's High Street.
The normally busy A68, with footpaths blocked people walk down the middle of the roads.
Scottish Borders Council snow ploughs have done an amazing job keep the main roads open through the storm as seen here on the A68 at Soutra.
Fun for the children enjoying a few days off school as they build an igloo in the piles of snow.
The scene in Oxton.
White-out blizzards in Lauder
Sledging fun near the Burnmill in Lauder.
The A697 was closed at Caffraemill.
Dogs had a great time in the deep snow
The event was held at Springwood Park in Kelso on 26th January 2018.
I was asked by Karen Finlay at Artisan PR to cover the event for the foundation and also for local newspapers and social media.
Doddie Weir, a talented, committed and athletic lock forward, Doddie is now facing his biggest challenge.
In June 2017 the Scot revealed he was suffering from Motor Neurone Disease.
16th & 17th January 2018
The last real significant snowfall was back in 2010 / 2011, since then its been hit and miss to take nice winter shots in the area. Storm Fionn arrived on 16th January bringing heavy falls of snow to much of west and central Scotland, causing many travel problems but also some good photo opportunities.
Below are a few shots from the last couple of days , I was lucky enough to have the shot of the two cute West Highland Terries published in the Scottish Daily Mail and also the Scottish Daily Star on 17th January.
1- Here's Bud, the crazy cocker spaniel enjoying the snow.
2- West Highland Terriers , Kitty and Teeniebash, in colourful red dogcarts braving the cold weather.
3 - A young boy struggles to stay on his feet in strong winds and drifting snow as he takes his dog for a walk in fields near Lauder, Scottish Borders.

5 - Here's Kity again , covered in snow.
6- Local farmers help clear the road from Lauder to Galashiels with a tractor snow plough early on 17th January 2018.
7 & 8- The beautiful Thirlestane Castle, in Lauder, like a scene from Frozen. A woman leads her horse through the deep snow.
9 & 10 Saturday 20th January 2018, the sun was setting and looking glorious , I took a drive up over a very snowy Stow Hill to one of my favourite spots to capture these last two shots. The lower shot appeared in the Sunday Times, page 3., on 21st January 2018
