Today’s wedding took us back to Doune Castle, home of the ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ film and a great setting for a castle wedding venue in Scotland. The weather stayed dry long enough for the bridal party and guests to arrive, but the rain started falling during the ceremony and so we photographed the group shots inside. Fortunately not a problem with the right lighting equipment and the right wedding photographer!

It was then a wet dash to the cars and off to the Stirling Rugby Club for the reception and ceilidh.

The photography coverage we provided on this day was from bridal and groom preparations right through to the first dance. On this occasion we had a principal photographer Stuart Walker, second photographer and a visiting wedding photographer from Ireland. With all the angles covered we captured fantastic images.

Shots of the bride and her group preparing for the wedding add to the full story of the day, especially as the time can pass by so quickly.

An added bonus to the day was the fact that the bride and her family are from Norway, and wore the traditional national dress – the groom and his family wearing the traditional Scottish kilt.

The weather on this day was good, and allowed us to make the most of the Castle’s location.

The reception venue chosen by the couple was the Huntingtower Hotel near Perth – itself an impressive location.

Continuing with a grand theme, the wedding cake was a huge replica of the location of bride and groom’s first meeting – a North Sea oil platform.

Wedding photography coverage concluded with the first dance – a ceilidh that got everyone up onto the dance floor.
