Autumn Wedding at Brig o‘doon House Hotel

Gemma and Seans Brig o’doon House Hotel Wedding. Such a stunning day, with warm autumn colours setting the backdrop for Gemma & Seans wedding day. From singers in the church, the best groomsmen speech ever (and he was too young to even buy a drink at the bar!) a team of bridesmaids on hand and in the centre of it these two who could not keep their eyes of each other.

Funniest part of the day was the little flower girl happily munching away on sweets on the front row throughout the service then pirouetting in front of everyone, I adore kids confidence at weddings and how they are just so happy at these moments :)

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Brigodoon which is the birth place of the famous scottish poet Robert burns. Gemma and Sean celebrated with all their loved ones at the Brigodoon House hotel and we photographed them on the famous bridge (Auld Brig) which is the setting for Robert Burns poem Tam O Shanter. With the gardens speckled with autumn colours it made for a beautiful backdrop to a beautiful day.

Wishing you a future of happiness together. Congratulations Mr & Mrs McAuliffe.
