BARN AT BARRA CASTLE WEDDING - HANNAH AND TIM

Hannah and Tim were quick off the block booking the beautiful new Aberdeenshire wedding venue, Barn at Barra Castle, when it was still very much in the construction stages. I've been excitedly waiting for this wedding to come around, and it didn't disappoint, with the sun shining, a touch of Zimbabwean flair, a singing bridal party and some twirly whirly ceilidh dancing! 

I really struggled to whittle these down for a blog post, so it's a bit of an epic one! I love how Barn at Barra Castle is a completely blank canvas - each bride and groom can put their own stamp on it, and I adored the happy yellow and blue flowers that decorated the venue, which was done by the family themselves the day before the wedding! Hannah's gorgeous bouquet was by Sakura Florist, based in Alford, and it continued the pretty yellow and blue theme. 

Hannah was the most stunning, ethereal bride - her hair done by Rebecca Carr, and make up by Tiffany Dawson

Thanks to Nicola Stewart for second shooting for me, and the ceilidh band who had everyone whirling with great enthusiasm was Ceildih Stomp

Banchory Lodge Wedding - Amanda and Keil

Sometimes there's a wedding that gets you right in the feels, and this was one of them. When Amanda's Irish grandad serenaded us with a traditional song for his wedding speech - oh my heart - I could barely take it! So much love in the room for these guys, and rightly so - they are made for each other.

Beautiful Summer Wedding - Aswanley, Huntly

I recently had the pleasure of heading out to Aswanley, near Huntly, as a second shooter for the lovely Emma Lawson Photography. With fellow photographer Donna Murray also along to second shoot, we started our day over at the Craigellachie Hotel, before I rode with the boys to Aswanley to wait patiently for the bride to arrive!

The whole wedding was gorgeous from start to finish - here's just a few favourites of mine from the day

Banchory Lodge was the beautiful setting for the wedding of Mhariann and Jason on Sunday, and the sun came out meaning everyone could enjoy the views over the River Dee.  I started the morning with the girls over in Bridge of Don, where everyone was super relaxed about the excitement that lay ahead!

Pittodrie House Wedding - Natalie and Greg

Wedding season is now in to full swing, and I am so excited about the months ahead, with so many fantastic couples to photograph. I adore being part of such a happy occasion, and telling the story of what is a very special day.

I had an amazing time with Natalie, Greg and their four amazing children at their Pittodrie House wedding last weekend. I shared a small sneaky peek of some images from their day over on my Facebook page, so thought I'd pop them here too. They planned their wedding in 4 months after 11 years together, and it all came together beautifully! 

I am fully booked for this year, but if you are currently planning your 2018/19 wedding and are looking for a photographer, then get in touch and tell me all about it! 

Michelle + Keith - Logie Country House

April 1st saw Michelle and Keith get married at the gorgeous Logie Country House 

After 21 years together, they decided to tie the knot, and I was delighted to be there to document it all. Their close family and friends were staying the weekend with them at Logie, and when I arrived in the morning, the air was full of excitement, with kids running around the grounds,  and some serious gin bar preparations taking place in the kitchen! Their wedding was full of fun and laughter (and a few happy tears!) from start to finish. 

Here's just a little sneak peek from their day - thanks to Melissa from Apini Photography for coming along to second shoot with me!

I think Keith was pretty chuffed that they'd finally said their 'I Do's'! 

Logie Country House Wedding - Aberdeenshire Wedding Photographer

I had the great pleasure of second shooting for the awesome Emma Lawson a couple of months back. Our venue for the day was Logie Country House, just outside of Inverurie, who were hosting the Scottish/Greek fusion wedding of S + A. While Emma captured the girls getting ready, I was with the boys watching a traditional Greek dressing ceremony unfold, and the party vibe continued from morning right through to night! 

Here's just a small selection of images I took on the day. You can find out more about Logie Country House here

Lauren + Dan - Wedding at Midmar Village Hall- Aberdeenshire Wedding Photography

I was absolutely delighted to be Lauren and Dan's photographer for their beautiful wedding day at Midmar Village Hall. Nestled deep in the Aberdeenshire countryside, the quaint hall had been transformed in to a stunning wedding venue, ready to welcome their friends and family. With guests from as far away as Abu Dhabi flying in for the occassion, and the sun peeking it's head round the clouds, the scene was set for Lauren and Dan to begin their wedding celebrations. 

Diane and Peter - Society of Advocates, Aberdeen - Wedding

Diane and Peter were married in the unusual and intimate setting of The Society of Advocates - a stunning building nestled deep in the centre of Aberdeen. Getting ready at the Hansen Residence, Diane and her bridesmaids were pampered to perfection by Rae Mathieson, award winning make up artist, and Louise Chrystal, queen of the up do! Diane's dress was from Perfect Bridal in Aberdeen. Catering was done by the amazing Val Morrison, and the beautiful blooms were styled by the talented Sarah of KIN Floral Design
