Brig O'Doon Wedding - Bryan and Freya

Brig O'Doon Wedding

What another fabulous day we had at Bryan and Freya's Brig O'Doon Wedding. Again, as was a theme for a lot of 2013 most of the wedding was organised by the groom (or "Groomzilla" as Bryan was affectionately tagged by Freya). But to give the man his due, he did a fantastic job ! We started the day at the lovely Ayrs and Graces guest house right next to Brig O'Doon before making the short journey across the river. Freya looked absolutely stunning. A beautiful woman in a well chosen tasteful dress always makes my life so much easier. Add to that Bryan looked every inch the proud Scotsman in his kilt and I knew I would going to produce a cracking set of images.





We also had the pleasure of being present for the evening entertainment. Not only did that mean that the speeches and first dance were covered but this also allowed us a little bit of extra creativity with some night-time shots in the gardens. First with the bandstand resplendent in fairy lights then with a spectacular fireworks cascade courtesy of 21cc Fireworks.

I also have to say that the couple themselves were brilliant to work with. They were amazing in front of the lens and I am really grateful that they chose 1500 Photography.

I will leave the final words to Groomzilla himself, Bryan.

“From the moment of initial email contact, to the day we received our album in the post, Stuarts service and professionalism was second to none. Freya and I loved the way he interacted with our guests on the day. The photos we have are fantastic, you really did capture some amazing shots that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. A truly fantastic photographer and the only one I would recommend to future bride and grooms!”

Brig O'Doon Wedding Photography - Karen and Gary

Back to weddings and back down to Ayrshire.

For the second time this year we were at Brig O'doon House Hotel in Alloway.

With all of Karen and Gary's wedding taking place at the hotel we knew we would still have great scope for pictures in the grounds. We just managed to get all the shots we needed on the bridge before the rain came on, we then ducked under the 'big tree' to finish off our groups.

Karen and Gary were great to work with on the day and, as usual, Jane at Brig O'Doon kept a tight reign on the proceedings to ensure the day ran smoothly. With a really nice mix of guests our job on the day was made really easy by both family's easy going nature. A lovely day.

Brig O'Doon Wedding - Jane and Ally No 1

The week of Jane and Allys wedding became "Alistair week" at 1500 Photography. Over the following 5 days we had 3 grooms in a row called Alasdair/Alastair. First up were Jane and Ally, with Jane proving to be the model bride. Not just that she looked like a model, posed like a professional and looked effortlessly beautiful but never blinked in one single shot all day. Amazing.

After a lovely ceremony at Merrylea Parish church Jane and Ally treated their guests to a cup of tea and cakes in the local church hall before we headed down to Ayrshire's Brig O'doon where the couple were well looked after by the wedding co-ordinator there (also called Jane). After a couple of quick shots on the bridge we headed into the back gardens of the hotel when we captured some more terrific shots.
