Lynne and Chris married last September in a beautiful summers day. They planned a lovely relaxed breakfast on the morning of their wedding for their family, friends and their beautiful dog Archie to enjoy before the ceremony. Once the breakfast was over Lynne and Chris then went to get dressed for their ceremony at St Mungos episcopal church in alexandria.

After the ceremony we then all went over to Ross Priory in Gartocharn for their reception. Ross Priory is a beautiful gothic style country house which has beautiful views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond but also has acres of beautiful gardens and secret paths which makes this a beautiful and unique wedding venue.

Lynne, Chris and i then took a walk around the grounds and i snapped away capturing some beautiful moments of the newly weds around the gardens and the greenhouse before heading back for some group image of their guests and a large group image on the stairs of Ross Priory.

Once inside the cutting of the cake and speeches commenced before their evening meal was served. I left the couple and their guests all enjoying each others company and celebrating the love that Lynne and Chris share.

I hope you enjoy the images above.

Julie and Geoff decided to marry at the gorgeous Rosslea Hall hotel all the way from Ireland in a small yet beautifully intimate wedding.

The morning started off a bit dull and overcast but by the afternoon the clouds parted and the sun shone through! We were very lucky to get such a beautiful day.

When I arrived for morning preparations there was a lot of excitement as the kids were on a high and having loads of fun. Julie was calm and taking it all in whilst having her hair and make up done.

I took the dress and all the usual bridal effects to the honeymoon suit and got some beautiful images of the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. The amount of bead work was to die for. After this I went to meet the boys and captured some great images of Geoff, his brother and their dad before heading out for a short stroll to capture some grooms images.

The ceremony was very intimate and kept short. There must have been about 20 family members there and a handful of excited children who all sat beautifully during the ceremony.

Once the ceremony was over we then headed around the grounds and shot some beautiful personal images, Geoff decided he really enjoyed this part of the day and relaxed into having his photograph taken posing away much to Julie’s amusement.

Once I had finished all group images it was time for the sit down meal and the rosslea sure know how to cater for a small wedding. The conservatory had been changed around and the centre of attention being the beautiful oval shaped table all planned with precision. A table at the patio doors had photographs from loved ones who sadly were not with them to enjoy there the joining of the families and the cake at the very top of the room was absolutely beautiful.

Julie and Geoff’s wedding day was everything they could have hoped for and more.

I hope you have all enjoyed the images I have shared from their day.

Suzzanne and Kenny married at the beautiful Rosslea Hall Hotel in Rhu. This is a beautiful venue and they were also lucky to land such a beautiful day for their wedding.

Morning preparations were at full speed when I arrived in the morning and Suzzanne looked as calm as ever soaking in everything that was happening. I captured my usual detailed images of the gorgeous wedding dress, shoes and other important bits and pieces in and around the venue then headed back for the brides make up to be done.

As always the rosslea hall hotel looked absolutely stunning and the attention to detail in and around the venue was beautiful. Kenny then arrived with all his best men and we got on with capturing some fabulous images of them all having a good laugh with one another. Not to mention a good laugh at me as I walked backward into a hole in the ground and nearly fell into it, I’m glad it made them laugh as a bit of photographer humiliation is always a good way to get smiles and laughs!

The ceremony its self was perfect, Kenny beamed with happiness when Suzzanne walked down the isle and their daughter had a fabulous time twirling about with her gorgeous dress on. All which make capturing these beautiful moments for them fabulous.

After the ceremony we went a short walk around the grounds of the Rosslea and captured some beautiful intimate personal images.

The speeches were fabulous and had the full room of laughter, the best mans speech was fabulous however Kenny wasn’t too impressed but I suppose the best mans job is too embarrass the Groom! So he done a fabulous job!

Once the dancing commenced it was time for me to leave and the party was in full swing.

I hope you all enjoy the images I have shared from Mr and Mrs McCormacks day.

Mr and Mrs Murphy  married at the gorgeous lochside house hotel in march 2017.

Becky and paul are a wonderful couple full of love and laughter. When I first met them both for a coffee I could tell straight away that their wedding day would be special and one to remember. Moving on to their fantastic engagement shoot at Victoria park, we met up on one of the last of the autumn days of 2016. We took a walk around the park and I shot some beautiful images of them both whilst catching up and letting them get used to me snapping away. Their images turned out fantastic and Becky came up with a name for paul “model face” as he was not fond of having his picture taken however has a fantastic cheeky smile and takes a great photo even if he doesn’t like it very much.

Fast forward to their wedding day and it was Wow! They had it all, the glorious sunshine, a beautiful setting and a room full of family and friends to watch as they tied the knot. The ceremony was fantastic and led by Norrie flowers, watching Becky and paul laughing and smiling as Norrie spoke about them both was a joy to watch and to also capture some beautiful natural images. They opted for a ring warming where all there nearest and dearest had the privilege of warming their wedding bands before they said their vows. They also done the hand fasting and both parents lit candles to mark the joining of two families which I think is absolutely beautiful.

Once the ceremony was over we then headed outside to take some personal portraits of them both which they rocked, their engagement shoot paid off enormously! We walked round the grounds of the lochside and shot some beautiful images around the pond and over the beautiful bridge. We then shot the groups and then went inside for the wedding breakfast and speeches. The speeches were fabulous with beckys mum starting them off, paul had us all in tears with his amazing speech and Paul’s brother had us laughing with all of Paul’s tales he shared.

The evening went with out a hitch, Becky and paul cut their beautiful wedding cake then went on to do their first dance as husband and wife with the rest of the bridal party joining in.

They had a wonderful day and I am so privileged to have been a part of it all. The lochside house hotel is a stunning hotel with a beautiful backdrop for outdoor wedding images. I would reccomend this venue to any couples looking to marry in the Ayrshire area.

Here is a list of vendors from the day.

Jenni and Cedric were married in July in what could be described as the wettest day I’ve ever seen in a july month. The rain was so heavy you can see the rain drops hitting the ground and splash back up in one of the images of Jenni arriving to the church.

Jenni went to her parents house in rhu to get ready with her gorgeous bridesmaids and as i was greeted into the family home laughter could be heard all around the house. I found the girls being pampered by having there hair and make up by the fantastic Jennifer at Jennifer Thomson hair.

Once everyone was dressed jenni made her entrance into the front room where her dad was waiting to see his little girl in her beautiful wedding gown. All i can say is there was not a dry eye in the house even i was bubbling behind the camera as her dad was filled with emotion. Jenni was an absolutely stunning bride and her dress was just perfect.

I then went over to the beautiful church in cardross which is hiding in amongst the trees in such a beautiful setting. Cedric was as calm as ever as he awaited the arrival of his beautiful jenni. Jenni braved the rain and flowed into this gorgeous church to meet her beau at the bottom of the aisle. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and was conducted by her uncle which made this joining of families all the more special.

After the ceremony the rain decided to break and shifted away giving us just enough time to capture the lavender toss over the beautiful couple and also some portraits before we headed over to the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel. After a beautiful cocktail reception they all then headed in for an exquisite wedding breakfast and the cutting of the cake which jenni had baked herself. Cedric carried jenni into the wedding breakfast which was absolutely fantastic.

The speeches were also amazing, Jenni’s dad had prepared his speech in french for cedrics family so they could read what he was saying about the wonderful couple. Cedrcis mum then got up and said her speak in english which was a lovely touch for the family.

Before the reception we then took a walk down to Luss pier where i was able to capture some beautiful images just before the rain started again.

Mr and Mrs Henaux had such a spectacular day and i am so privileged to be able to share these beautiful images from their day.

Nicola and Mark wed in a beautiful ceremony at the Ardgarten Hotel in Arrocher. This gorgeous hotel is ran by Lochs and Glens and is actually a coaching hotel not a wedding venue. This is where Nicola and Mark first met, it wasn’t long before there friendship blossomed into a beautiful realtionship and where they were fortunate enough to be able to tie the knot and become husband and wife.

The hotel its self is set in such a beautiful location with views to die for so we were spoiled for choice after their ceremony for their personal images.

The venue was dressed by All dressed up who are located in Alexandria, They done an outstanding job dressing the venue and making it ready for the hotels first ever wedding.  Nicola and Mark choose to have a humanist ceremony and the wonderful Lesley Anderson performed an amazing personal ceremony for them both with drinking from the quake and a hand fasting where they tied the knot. I also had my second shooter Gary Ellis on hand to make sure i captured every detail for the happy couple.

Once the wedding breakfast, speeches and first dances were finished there guests enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing and celebrating the wonderful marriage of Nicola and Mark.

I wish you both many many years of love, health and happiness.

I  hope you all enjoy some of the highlights i have added below.

Aimee and James wed in a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Ingliston country club at the end of December.

A string quartet played a beautiful song as Aimee and her proud dad walked down to aisle to meet James who was patiently waiting on aimee to arrive. Aimee looked absolutely out of this world in her wedding dress and James handsome in his kilt. Mr Miller was chosen to conduct their ceremony and it was full of fun and laughter with Mia blowing raspberries and giggling away. After the vows James surprised Aimee with an amazing first kiss as he swept her off her feet in one of the best first kisses I’ve seen this year. As we set out to do group images and their personal images, all the guests went on to enjoy a fantastic drink reception. Once all the images were taken they were then introduced to their waiting guests at their wedding breakfast where the fantastic speeches then took place filling the room with laughter. Later on in the evening we then ventured out into the cold and snapped some beautiful images outside then went back indoors for their first dance as a married couple.

Their wedding day was truly spectacular and I have included a few images from their day below, I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did capturing them.
