Culzean Castle Wedding Photography - Amrit & Harneen's Scottish Wedding Reception

WOW! What a party!
Amrit & Harneen's wedding ceremony took place down in Nottingham, but they decided to have a reception in Scotland where they are now both living. Culzean Castle on the West Coast of Scotland was chosen as the venue and it's not hard to see why. Culzean Castle and its gardens are simply stunning!
The whole day was a fairytale from start to finish. We started off with taking some beautiful romantic shots of Amrit & Harneen around the castle before the guests arrived, then it was informal from there on in. Amrit & Harneen mingled with guests outside on the lawn after arriving on a white horse drawn carriage, before being piped down to the marquee, which was decorated in an enchanted forest theme, for dinner and speeches.
After dinner it really was party time! Amrit & Harneen had brought in a DJ from Birmingham who kept the guests dancing and partying all night. The floor was literally jumping up and down and the atmosphere was amazing! We were really tempted to down cameras and join in!
At the stroke of midnight a pipe band played a selection of Scottish favourites providing a perfect end to what was an amazing day.
Thanks go out to Amrit & Harneen, we thoroughly enjoyed photographing you and your families and friends, the photos are great!

Harneen's Makeup was immaculate and her dress was amazing, she looked absolutely stunning!

As the Bride & Groom officially arrived to greet their guests, they were accompanied by 2 pipers and 2 dohl drummers.

The amazing wedding cake was a three foot high tree made from chocolate, it was completely edible!

The floor was packed all night and the floor was literally bouncing!

Lennoxlove Wedding Photography - Lucy & Greg's Wedding

Lucy & Greg were married at Lennoxlove on 8th July. We had a great day with Lucy & Greg and their guests, the whole day was relaxed and very informal and the warm sunny weather meant that the guests were all outside drinking champagne and chatting. The day couldn't have been more perfect!
Lucy's dress was WOW! It had a very Spanish look and sat perfectly when we posed her for the photographs.

Lucy & Greg were really relaxed throughout the day and it certainly comes across in the images!

Lucy & Greg had the most beautiful table arrangements we think we've ever seen at a wedding, balls of flowers in all different sizes in the centre of each table accented by candles. The marquee looked amazing!

To complete the day, Lucy, Greg and the bridal party performed a choreographed first dance in front of all the guests, it was brilliant!

We loved our day with Lucy & Greg and their families and friends, we had a great time, it wasn't like work at all!

Ayrshire Wedding Photography - Eilidh & Andy's Wedding

24th July was the wedding of Eilidh & Andy at Brig O' Doon in Ayrshire. Eilidh & Andy were a fantastic couple to work with and really wanted to spend quality time getting amazing pictures to remember their wedding day by.
After the family pictures were taken, we spent some time with Eilidh & Andy in the grounds of the hotel, the brig itself and also the gardens across the road. The finished results are stunning. The weather played a big part as it was a beautiful, warm sunny day and everything just felt relaxed.
Here are some of Eilidh & Andy's images, we hope you enjoy!








Dalmahoy Wedding Photography - Kirsten & Michael's Wedding

Kirsten & Michael got married on 23rd July at Dalmahoy Golf & Country Club. The service took place at the chapel at Dalmahoy. It was a great day with lovely weather for a change! It was also good to see the familiar faces of some of our former Brides & Grooms amongst the guests! It goes to show that word of mouth is our best form of advertising, some of you guys are bound to be putting an invoice in for commission soon!
Here are some of Kirsten & Michael's wedding images.
This shot was taken at Kirsten's parents house where she was getting ready. We love this classic look Kirsten has, she photographs brilliantly!

Michael and his Best Man Graeme chose a slightly unusual mode of transport to get to the church!

Kirsten and her Dad arrived in style in a horse drawn carriage.

After the ceremony, Kirsten's Dad Brian took the reins and delivered Bride & Groom to the reception.

Wedding Photography Aberdeen - Kara & Scott's Wedding

Kara & Scott got married on 16th July at St Paladius Church and on to Drumtochty Castle near Aberdeen. Kara & Scott both live and work in Texas but decided to come back home to tie the knot.
Kara looked absolutely stunning on the day! These two shots were taken in the bedroom at Drumtochty as Kara was getting ready to leave for the church.

We loved photographing Kara & Scott with the church in the background the church looks like something out of a fairytale, especially with the mist settling on the trees behind it.
