I started my day by photographing Laura and her bridesmaid’s final preparations at Laura’s house. The boys were getting ready and leaving from a house just around the corner so a quick dash along the street meant I could capture a few images of the men leaving in the wedding cars. Back at the bride’s home there was a last minute panic with the discovered there was only 3 laces for 4 dresses; however thanks to some clever thinking by one of the bridesmaids (Catherine) they did manage to lace up 4 dress only using 3 laces.

Glenskirlie Castle Wedding

Glenskirlie Castle

Once we arrived at Glenskirlie Castle all of the morning stress had been forgotten and everyone was looking forward to the ceremony; however there was another issue. The best man has just received a call from the groom father and grandfather to say they had broken down in a motorway service station and they needed some of the guest to come and give them a push start. So the ceremony was put on hold while two of the guests left to lend a hand only to return 15 minutes later to say the broken down car was not at the local station but instead at a station in Stirling (40 minutes away). One of the guest quickly organised a Stirling taxi to collected the stranded guests and get them to the venue A.S.A.P. A whole hour late with everyone now present the service started and I am glad to say the rest of the day went without a hitch.

Thankfully the dry weather held on for most of the day meaning the requested group pictures could be taken in the gardens at the rear of the castle and even though everything was now running 1 hour late I still managed to get some lovely pictures of the couple in and around the castle, including the famous love seat and stunning honeymoon suite.
