Coats Memorial / Crutherland House Wedding - Ashley and Devin

Coats Memorial / Crutherland House Wedding


One of my favourite weddings Ive ever shot, Ashley and Devin's Crutherland House Wedding, was just a perfect wedding day for a photographer.

We started at Ashley's mums house where one of the most stunning brides we'd ever shot was getting ready. It was already a cracking day but having such a lovely spacious house to begin with before popping outside into the garden in the blazing sunshine was a bonus. Then it was onto the wonderful Coats Memorial church in Paisley, an amazing building with a huge set of stairs for brides to negotiate before entering into a beautiful interior.

Then it was onto one of the most unusual locations I have ever shot at. A turf farm. Acres and acres of bowling green smooth grass laid out as far as the eye could see. All except for one tree. Ashley 'grandfathers' tree which we used to create this wonderful silhouette shot.

After our pictures at the farm we headed onto Crutherland House. I must say I was really impressed with Crutherland. They were brilliant. We were running approximately 30 minutes behind schedule but knowing that we still had all our formal group pictures to shoot they altered their timings to make sure that the day continued to run smoothly with the absolute minimum of fuss. It was then over the Ashley's mum who gave the father of the bride speech and Devin's brother who delivered one of the funniest best man speeches we've heard. This then gave way to some singing waiting staff and one of the busiest dance floors we've ever witnessed. You can see from the shots just how much fun the bride and groom had on the day.


I love this wedding so much that I made it our main sample album in a bid to make sure that as many as my future bride and groom have a day like Ashley and Devin's. A top couple and a top day.
