Joanna and Sandy's House for an Art Lover wedding

Joanna and Sandy first met when they were neighbors in the same building. I had so much fun photographing their wedding at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow. The couple pulled together so many unique, handmade details to celebrate the occasion. The bride asked me to capture as many candids of the couple with their family and friends as I could and it was clear that every guest was having a wonderful time. The venue was designed by famed Glaswegian architect and designer, Remy Mackintosh. Conceived during the arts and crafts moment, the ceremony space had some incredible artistic detailing that gave the space tons of historic personality. I went with Joanna and Sandy to the verdant walled garden next door for their portraits. A beautiful wedding from start to finish.

Heather and Nick's Cowden Garden wedding

Heather and Nick’s intimate wedding at the Japanese Gardens at Cowden was simply stunning. This sweet and lovely couple were all about celebrating this special day with their closest friends and family in a gorgeous natural setting. One of the bridesmaids made Heather’s bride gown and the bridesmaids dresses. Several of the guests provided musical interludes and readings. While I went off on a wander with the bride and groom to capture their portraits after the ceremony, the guests were treated to a guided tour of the venue.

The garden itself is a true hidden gem in Scotland, not far from Stirling. On the same day we were there, a film crew from BBC’s Gardener’s World was filming a special segment about Cowden for the program. If you’re searching for a picturesque, peaceful space for your wedding, you can’t do better!
