Back to one of my favorite haunts for Michelle and James’s wedding at Boturich Castle.

With a brilliant sunny day, a stunning venue, a handsome couple and Rev Ian Miller officiating there wasnt much else we could have asked for. Rev Miller was in sparkling form and really brought the ceremony to life. As with many couples today, Michelle and James had a special guest at the wedding – daughter Sophie. So it was very important to make sure she was included in as many pictures as possible.

We actually planned out the pictures to allow us a 20 minute break during which time we could shoot a quick family portrait of the couple with little Sophie. It worked a treat and we got some beautiful shots of the 3 of them together. As you can see from above the shots of the couple with the wonderful backdrop turned out ok too!

I was really impressed again with Boturich. Its a simply splendid venue which offers unparalleled views of Loch Lomond and always lends itself to  a really relaxed laid back day. Laura and Ruairidh (the owners) really have weddings here down to a tee and you can be assured of a brilliant day with these guys in charge.

There is a saying in Loch Lomond – if you cant see the Ben (Lomond) its raining, if you can see the Ben….. its about to rain.

This pretty much sums up our day with Clare and Ian. Clare got ready at one of the lodges at Cameron House before making her way to Luss Church. As usual the service passed off like clockwork at Luss but as we came out of the church, the heavens opened !

So brollies and Plan B where put into action. We still got some beautiful ‘moody’ shots by the loch side before we made our way up to Boturich Castle for the reception. Once there, the rain receded, the clouds parted and we were treated to that special view of Loch Lomond you only get from Boturich.

It was a fitting way for the day to run. Ian and Clare stay in Australia so meeting up beforehand was a mad dash, as was the wedding day. I think these guys only got a chance to relax when the wheels left the tarmac and the left the UK for their honeymoon.

My first Boturich Castle wedding. Stunning day, Stunning wedding, amazing couple.

Boasting probably the best views possible of Loch Lomond this venue is a real ‘hidden gem’ which I am lucky enough to have almost on my doorstep. Lynsey and John had come up from Yorkshire with most of Lynseys family coming from Sweden for the wedding.  I am so pleased that Scotland turned on  the style for them.

As you can probably tell it was a blistering hot day but the heat, drinks and outdoor feel to this wedding made the whole day such a relaxed affair it was hard not to be jealous of the guests!!

Due to the unique conditions of the day we knew we were going to get an awesome sunset. What we didnt bank on was the awesome dancing display put on by John and best man Scott to the tune of ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ ….. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it before – they were amazing !!

And so was the sunset……This goes down as our favourite picture from the day.
