Love was definitely in the air at Emily and Graeme's wedding! From the stunning venue at Lochside Hotel to the happy couple's beaming smiles, it was a day to remember. April 2022 has kicked off wedding season in style and I couldn't be more excited to capture all the magic.

Where? : House for An Art Lover, Dumbreck

It's great to be back at the House for An Art Lover - one of my fav venues in the whole of Scotland. It's tucked away just behind Bellahouston Park in between a ski sloop and the now in-famous slushy bar - Tubbies. Despite it being just off the main road and close to the M8 Motorway, you would think it would be a place that would be so booming with cars and vans, which is not the case as hidden in the trees of Bellahouston Park is the venue itself.
Leanne and Andy originally booked me back in 2018 with plans to be wedding in 2020 and like so many couples had to rearrange. Their originally venue was the Golden Jubilee Hospital, but vouched to have a bigger day at the world famous Mackintosh building. It was one of those perfect days for weather where the sun was out but it was still warm enough to roam the outside without being too cold.
The morning took place inside the venue in one of the upstairs meeting rooms where Leanne's dress was getting steamed by Don't Stress The Dress who was on hand to help sort out everyone's outfits, jewellery and shoes - a class act who helped sort out some shots for me.
The humanist ceremony itself was conducted by the charismatic and charming Alan Barr who was on hand to keep the room energised and write such a lovely and personal tribute to Andy and Leanne.
After the ceremony we wandered around the beautiful grounds of the venue by heading to the lovely and pristine walled garden, and then round to Bellahouston Park itself near the Copper Elephant.
The evening party got started and everyone was on full form and I'm sure the party didn't stop even long after I left.
Many thanks and congratulations to Leanne and Andy!

Richenda + Stewart had waited a long time for their day. I think they were JUST about to get married and then within 2 weeks the world closed down just like a lot of people. However we finally made it and what a day we had! Have a wee look below:

Bachilton Barn in Perth holds a special place in my heart. Back in 2016 when I first started shooting weddings, I visited here just not long after it had opened it's doors and I instantly felt at home. The beautiful rustic charm of the barns, the spectacular outdoor gazebo and the endless acres of rolling countryside...what more can you want?
The staff have always been so kind and used countless of my images over the years for their brochures and social media and I even have a few framed photos in their lobby too! I think over the years I've shot here about 5-6 times and each time feels that more special than the last!
Sam and Becca were such a joy to be with. Instantly they were so welcoming and kind which just makes my job that much easier. Their families were so vibrant and full of energy, the full day and despite there being restrictions with COVID, it did not stop them from having the best time. You could see the smiles even through the masks!
