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!

Emer and Ian's Royal College of Physicians Wedding

Emer and Ian were married at the gorgeous Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, which was the perfect venue for them as they’re both doctors who met at the hospital. Their special day was perfect from start to finish. They incorporated so many heartfelt details, like a hand-carved bowl and moss from Emer’s family’s land in Ireland, along with homemade fruit jam grown and jarred by her parents. I had a great time photographing the couple as they made a commitment to each other.

It was a lot of fun photographing with my second photographer, Kata Opuntia. Flowers provided by Ochre Botanical Studio.
