Autumn Wedding at Brig o‘doon House Hotel
Gemma and Seans Brig o’doon House Hotel Wedding. Such a stunning day, with warm autumn colours setting the backdrop for Gemma & Seans wedding day. From singers in the church, the best groomsmen speech ever (and he was too young to even buy a drink at the bar!) a team of bridesmaids on hand and in the centre of it these two who could not keep their eyes of each other.

Funniest part of the day was the little flower girl happily munching away on sweets on the front row throughout the service then pirouetting in front of everyone, I adore kids confidence at weddings and how they are just so happy at these moments 🙂

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Brigodoon which is the birth place of the famous scottish poet Robert burns. Gemma and Sean celebrated with all their loved ones at the Brigodoon House hotel and we photographed them on the famous bridge (Auld Brig) which is the setting for Robert Burns poem Tam O Shanter. With the gardens speckled with autumn colours it made for a beautiful backdrop to a beautiful day.


Wishing you a future of happiness together. Congratulations Mr & Mrs McAuliffe.

Morning Prep At Loch Green House Hotel
From the very beginning of the morning, Kyla was absolutely buzzing. Her energy was infectious as she shouted “Happy my wedding day!”, barely able to sit still and desperate to get into her dress. More than anything, she couldn’t wait to see her beloved dad, George, and share that moment together.
Kyla looked incredible in her gown from Ivory Pinks Bridal, glowing with happiness from the inside out. Her excitement was contagious , the kind that fills a room and makes everyone smile.
As a school teacher, Kyla has the warmest energy, and it was clear how loved she is by those around her. She shares a close bond with her sister, and together with Fraser, they’re proud dog parents to Watson, who definitely got a few mentions throughout the day.
Fraser spent the morning with his groomsmen in great spirits, including one who had flown all the way from Australia to be there. It set the tone for the day: relaxed, full of laughter, and rooted in genuine friendships.
There was a deep emotional thread running through the day. Kyla’s mum, Shiela, sadly passed away in 2022, and her presence was felt in so many quiet, meaningful ways. This wedding wasn’t just a celebration, it was a hugely important moment for Kyla and her family, full of love, remembrance, and pride.
An Unforgettable Party At Lochgreen House Hotel
With We Are Tartan keeping the dancefloor packed and Shades of Sax bringing the saxophone energy, the evening celebrations were next level. Euan could create a party in an empty room! He doesn’t stop smiling and bringing the energy, throw in the fact he is just a lovely guy, he makes you feel like you are in a club in ibiza with constant good music and dancing. From emotional moments to absolute dancefloor chaos, the atmosphere was incredible.
Kyla and Fraser’s wedding was joyful, heartfelt, and full of life , an absolute privilege to photograph.
