Christine & Stephen, Foresthills, Wedding Photography, Scotland

Filed under: Weddings — Tags: , , , , , , — marian @ 4:40 pm


I first met Christine and Stephen  a couple of years ago at a wedding fair which they had travelled to from their home in Aberdeen – they met at university in Aberdeen and they liked it so much they  stayed and set up home there. I remember thinking at the time that 2 years always seems so far away, but as always the time has flown by and soon it was their wedding day.

They wanted their wedding day to be relaxed, fun and reflect their personalities. They are both passionate about Scotland and it’s scenery and wanted somewhere that felt remote and yet was accessible as they had family and friends arriving from all over the UK. So they chose Foresthills in Aberfoyle (www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/foresthills) which has a peaceful location and stunning scenery,  beautiful no matter what the weather. Foresthills is set in the stunning backdrop of the Trossachs – so we had mountains, lochs and Scottish summer weather – all 4 seasons in one day. And the day was full of fun and laughter and genuinely lovely people.

It’s on days like this that I remind myself how lucky I am to do a job I just love here in Scotland. The only challenge was working with the weather and yet ensuring everyone enjoyed the wedding day. I hope we achieved that. Here is a small taster of the images captured that day.

Helen & Simon , Pre Wedding Shoot, Wedding Photography Scotland

Filed under: Weddings — Tags: , , , , , , — marian @ 7:19 pm

A fantastic fun couple, sunshine, great coffee and Troon beach – the best possible ingredients for a pre wedding shoot. These “shoots” are an opportunity for us to go over all the details for their forthcoming wedding and to spend some time taking photographs to let the couple get a feel for how I work and to hopefully capture some beautiful, relaxed photographs of the two of them.

Fiona & Russell’s Wedding at Dundas Castle, Wedding Photography Scotland

Filed under: Weddings — Tags: , , , , — marian @ 9:05 am

The morning of Fiona and Russell’s wedding day was everything you expect in April – the sun was shining, the odd squally shower and blustery wind  - all set in the magnificent backdrop of Dundas Castle.  Both bride and groom were very relaxed and enjoying every moment – Fiona getting ready with her mum, sister and nieces; Russell and the guys playing snooker before having some photographs taken.

The flowers were beautiful and supplied by Lillium of Edinburgh.

The speeches were hilarious and clearly a lot of thought and preparation had gone into them
