Sam and Pat

On a beautiful late Spring day in May Sam & Pat celebrated their marriage with all their nearest and dearest at Sam’s incredible family home in the rolling Ayrshire countryside. I really couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful day to photograph, it really had it all. Glorious weather, amazing styling, lots of dogs, and of course the most important ingredient - lovely people. It was such a treat to work alongside some of my favourite wedding industry pals too (all listed below). I must give a special mention to Di (Myrtle & Bracken) for creating the most incredible floral arrangements, which included gorgeous wild flowers and foliage from the gardens and woods surrounding the house.

Emily and Euan

For those of you who may have only stumbled across my work recently, you’ll very soon realise I have a mild obsession with Cambo Estate! I could quite happily shoot weddings here every week, it’s the dreamiest venue. Not only does it have endless locations for photos, the house itself has a magical charm that’s unique to anywhere else I’ve been in Scotland. I was therefore delighted when Emily & Euan asked me along to capture their wedding celebrations earlier this year, and even more so when they told me what they had in mind for the day. The amount of time, effort and planning they put into the day was there for everyone to see, and I was genuinely blown away by the attention to detail and beautiful styling. I’m always super excited when I see Myrtle & Bracken on a suppliers list, and needless to say Di didn’t let me down, creating the most gorgeous floral installations throughout the house and gardens. Not to be outdone by the flowers and the setting Emily looked stunning in her fabulous Monique Lhuillier dress, and even had a costume change for the evening, switching to an amazing Hom Bridal dress for the dancing. I could honestly wax lyrical about this wedding for days, but it’s probably best I let the pictures do the talking!

Ali and Jonny

Ali & Jonny - what an awesome pair! I had the most wonderful time capturing their fabulous wedding celebrations at one of the best venues around - Cambo House. The day was full to the brim with love, fun and laughter. From the epic Abba singalong during the ceremony to the funk and soul party courtesy of Nick Bruce and his Blinding Lights - it had it all! Throw in lots of gorgeous details (Ali’s beautiful Temperley dress and the stunning Myrtle & Bracken blooms in particular), a Dalmatian called Cilla, and a seriously lovely bunch of people, and you’ve got yourself the perfect wedding right there!

Sarah Jane and James

I knew from the moment these two got in touch about their wedding that it was going to be amazing, and boy oh boy, was it amazing! Working closely with some of Scotland’s finest wedding suppliers, Sarah Jane & James created a wee bit of magic on the Ayrshire coast, which was a total dream to photograph. From the truly stunning floral arrangements and bouquets by my all time favourite florist - Myrtle & Bracken to the gorgeous bespoke Flossy & Dossy dress, that Sarah Jane looked incredible in, the day was oozing with style and personality. After a wonderful ceremony in the camellia house in the grounds of Culzean Castle, we explored the walled gardens and took stroll on the beach before heading back up to Sarah Jane’s family home to carry on the celebrations. The day was topped off with a rabble rousing performance from their pals band, who’d reformed for one night only, and played an epic set of stone cold classics!

Big shout out to Gillian from Pin Up Hair Glasgow, Doug from Northern Aye Photography, who did a cracking job second shooting for me, and also Cue the Mustard (Videography) - you were all a total dream to work with!

Hannah and Josh

My oh my what a day this was! Hannah & Josh’s wonderful wedding in the beautiful surroundings of the Cairngorms was an absolute blast from beginning to end!

From the early morning dip in the loch, right through to Hannah & Josh taking the stage to perform a few rabble rousing ceilidh numbers, the day had absolutely everything! It’s honestly far too hard to put the whole day into words, so I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking on this one! Enjoy!

Again, a MAHOOSIVE shout out to all the amazing suppliers, you really outdid yourselves here!

Arden and Steven

Arden & Steven’s two day wedding extravaganza was beyond amazing! Organising a wedding is no easy task at the best of times, but managing to organise the whole lot from Tel Aviv is ridiculously impressive! The celebrations started with the most wonderful, intimate ceremony at the spectacular Garnethill Synagogue. A truly memorable occasion filled with love, laughter and lots of dancing! We started day two with a wander round Pollok Country Park and one of my favourite spots in Glasgow - the World Famous Barras Market! This was followed by another fabulous ceremony at The People’s Palace, with a wonderful blend Scottish and Jewish traditions (which I must say go hand in hand rather nicely!). Everyone then made their way over to West On The Green for the most spectacular reception. Natalie & Laura (Lemon Box Studios) along with Di from Myrtle & Bracken created a little bit of magic in dressing the room, putting together a Bauhaus inspired masterpiece! The party carried on long into the night, with some pretty impressive Jewish wedding dances thrown in for good measure! Arden & Steven thanks so so much for having me along, I had an absolute blast!
