Introducing Aly Robinson, the Clan MacDougall Gathering's designated photographer
With the Clan Gathering just two months away now, we thought it was about time to introduce Aly Robinson, our designated photographer for the week! We have worked with Aly several times over the last couple of years and were absolutely thrilled when she agreed to put some time aside in her very busy summer schedule to help us with the Gathering.
Here is a small selection of her beautiful work, which illustrates her unique cinematic style with an incredible ability to convey the softest emotions with the most dramatic backdrops:
This time, Aly has offered to do short, 30-minute photography sessions, for individuals, couples, or small groups of family and friends with Dunollie's castle ruin and its breathtaking views as a stunning backdrop. These are only suitable for a maximum of 5 people per session, but if you are travelling with more than five loved ones and would like to do this together, it can be arranged by booking two sessions back to back (if this applies to you, please email me on florence@dunollie.org )
Whilst these are intended for attendees of the Clan Gathering, bookings are open to anyone who is available on those dates and wishes to support our charity and the talented artist that is Aly, whilst also immortalising your visit with some stunning shots. Spaces are filling up quickly but we still have a few sessions open in the mornings and evenings of Wednesday 31st July and Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd August.
Aly has a passion for Scotland, the Highlands and their dramatic landscape, so naturally, she has worked with our site as a backdrop before, particularly as a wedding photographer, but also, with members of our team.
She took the following photos of my partner and me at Dunollie at the end of September last year. For context, it was a dark, cold day, I had never worked with a professional photographer before and tend to be quite uncomfortable on camera. She was such a funny, calming presence, made us both feel so at ease and we had a really lovely time during the shoot. We couldn't wait to see how the photos turned out, but never expected them to be this special. Aly has made me feel so much prettier than I thought I could feel and I have been recommending her to everyone since.
Find out more about Aly and her work on her website here, but remember bookings for photoshoots during the Gathering can only be booked on our website here or through the button below.
If you have any questions, please email us on info@dunollie.org
Best wishes,
Florence and the Dunollie Team
