Laura and Tim

My first wedding of 2010 was on Good Friday in Blair Castle near Dalry. Its an amazing place for a special event and the owner Lina and her team looked after everyone very well indeed. The happy couple were Laura and Tim who live in Hong Kong but had arrived in the UK earlier in the week. Laura had entrusted a lot of the wedding planning to her Mum, Audrey who had in turn enlisted the team at 88 Events to pull out all the stops and give Laura and Tim a day to remember. Between them all, the most amazing wedding was planned to perfection and executed with precision. Everything was just as it should be and there were some surprises for Laura and Tim that had been kept a secret from them. There was a moment in the huge marquee when a big black partition dropped to reveal the dining area and the dance floor. I managed to get a shot of Laura and Tim's faces at this precise moment so I know they were just stunned. It was simply fabulous. I could go on and on about the marquee but the rest of the wedding was just as lovely. Laura looked so beautiful in a stylish hand made gown by Kerfuffle in Clarkston and carried a bouquet of simple white phalaenopsis orchids (my favourite and the same as my own wedding bouquet). Tim looked super cool and suave in a tailored grey suit and there was a great mix of tartan kilts and troos thrown in to add a splash of colour. Linda Britton, a really lovely Humanist celebrant performed the ceremony and as always she had taken the time to find out all about Laura and Tim, how they met and their love for eachother.

After the ceremony there was lots of bubbly and just enough time to get some happy family shots as well as some natural and relaxed shots of Laura and Tim.

I will have to stop now as I could go on and on but I just wanted to mention the fabulous malteser cake organised by Tim's Mum, the lovely saxophone music provided by Laura's younger cousin, the starlight dance floor complete with white grand piano, the fabulous Swing Cats, Wild Thyme catering, the fabulous Fiona from Paper Blossom Stationery and all the other little touches that made the day so special. I am seeing Laura next week after her South American honeymoon and hope she'll love the photographs I've taken for her.

It was a wedding I'll always remember and here are some of my favourite shots from the day.
