Moorpark House Wedding - Ashley and Richard

Moorpark House Wedding

In an idea shamelessly 'inspired' by wedding magazines, I thought I would mix up the blog a little by introducing a "Featured Wedding". A chance to perhaps tell a bit more of the story from the day and showcase both the brides planning and attention to detail along with our work.

Our first feature is on Ashley and Richards wedding at Moorpark House in Ayrshire. And who better to tell you about the day than the bride herself, Ashley.........

WHERE WAS IT & WHY ? : Moorpark Country House. I had a country house in mind from the start, partly because we wanted a relaxed wedding and partly because we had so many family members coming from America and Canada we wanted a property that was a little taste of Scotland. Moorpark managed all of this without being old fashioned and austere. And, provided the perfect size and exclusivity we are after.

THEME OR STYLE: Summer garden party

BRIDE’S DRESS : Not the wonderful experience I was hoping for! I searched high and low for a dress that was a bit different and ended up buying a reasonably plain and traditional dress (not really what I wanted) to then have a huge bow commissioned for the back. Even that was a problem, no seamstress was brave enough to make the size I wanted! I wanted a talking point, something people wouldn't forget and I certainly got that!!

BRIDE’S SHOES: Good old Monsoon peep-toes with pearls. Perfect

JEWELLERY/ACCESSORIES: Originally a lot more than I wore! Once I saw the dress I had to change my jewellery choice to something more simple. I did wear my Great Gran's engagement ring which is over 100 years old, that was my something Old, borrowed and blue.

MEMORABLE MOMENT: Both our favourite bit is when I reach the top of the aisle and we see each other for the first time. Nothing seemed scary after that.

HAIR & MAKEUP: My friend Lynne did a our make-up for us. It was great to have a friend rather than a stranger helping on our big day, plus she did an amazing job! I was originally going to wear my hair up but had to change last minute after seeing the size of the bow on my dress! My bridesmaid had her hair done by the same hairdresser, Emma, and it was beautiful!

GROOMS DUTIES: Turn up, remember the rings and make a speech. All of which he did very well!

THE FLOWERS: Hand tied bouquet with roses, freesia and sweet peas which smelt amazing. the colours were soft peach and cream tones

THE CAKE: Marks and Spencers!

INVITATIONS & STATIONERY: Everything was done by me, with a little help from family and friends.

FAVOURITE PICTURE: Too many to pick from! I don't know!!! Erm -You do it!

So here it is - the brides (and photographers) favourite picture from the day............

 

 

Cameron House Wedding (Celtic Warrior) - Sarah & Martin

Cameron House Wedding

What a lovely intimate wedding !

Sarah and Martin had come down from Aberdeen to get married on Loch Lomond at Cameron House. They then provided the couple with the Celtic Warrior luxury cruiser for a lovely jaunt across the Loch after the ceremony. As it was a bridal party of 9 it meant that I could get some pictures with the couple on the boat too.



After a tour around the Loch on the boat it was back to Cameron Houses Boat House for a relaxing drink before dinner. Sarah and Martin had come all the way down from Aberdeen such is the pull of Loch Lomond. I am very grateful that they chose me to shoot their wedding.

Dalmeny Park Wedding - Pamela and Steve

Dalmeny Park Wedding

I used to shoot loads of weddings at Dalmeny Park when I worked over in Paisley, so it was a great pleasure to go back for Pamela and Steve's wedding earlier in the summer. As a photographer in Scotland trying to keep up with the vagaries of the Scottish climate can drive you insane.....and this day was no exception. Fair play to Pamela and Steve though. When the rain did come the couple simply brushed it off and continued with the shots as if nothing had happened.



The black and white shot above was Steve's idea. He thought it were possible to see both him nervously waiting and Pamela arriving - and he was right. The rain put paid to our plans of doing a full group of everyone so instead we shot all Pamela's family, all Steve's family and finally all of their friends. This meant everyone was captured, no one was missed out and we had a record of everyone at the wedding.
