Wedding Photography | Shelley & Matthew | Eilean Donan Castle
Today’s bride was the very gorgeous Shelley who came up from Glasgow with a few close family and friends to marry her handsome fiance Matthew. Unfortunately the weather didn’t really play ball for the happy couple, however, Shelley’s fabulous red shoes kept everyone’s spirits up! Something that made the day extra special was that Shelley’s Auntie Anne, who is a minister, conducted the ceremony while Uncle Tom did the readings. The wedding party are staying at Balmcara Mains and returned there after the wedding at Eilean Donan Castle for a family meal before they head back to Glasgow and a massive party on Saturday night when Shelley will get to wear her dress all over again. And who can blame her – she was stunning. Congratulations to both of you – it was a real pleasure! Please feel free to leave a comment for Shelley and Matthew below, if you weren’t at the wedding, or even if you were!

STUFF ABOUT ME
I live where I grew up, in the north-west Highlands of Scotland, near the Isle of Skye. I left home at 18 and returned 18 years later and I've worked as a secretary, a marketing assistant, a PR manager, and a local news reporter.
Although I've always loved looking at pictures in magazines, I didn't really get 'into' photography until I was quite old - 36!! Now, five years on, it is my full time occupation and I DO love it, but that is as much from the folk I get to meet and the fun of being part of a wedding day, as it has to do with having a camera in my hand. I just really, really like meeting new people, especially happy people!
Here's another few snippets of info:
At 34 I had an early midlife crisis and took off on a long trip from London to Kenya via Russia, Mongolia, China, Tibet, Nepal, India and several African countries - it was the best year of my life.
I never gave up on the idea of finding 'the one' and a few weeks ago - aged 41! - I walked down the aisle myself.
The second biggest love of my life is Flora - the funniest, cleverest, cutest little doggy ever!
I've climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and done a Marathon - okay, it was the Moonlight Bra Walk Marathon....but 26.2 miles is 26.2 miles!
I love perfume - especially if the bottle is quirky; my latest purchases were Gucci Flora and Balenciaga.
Coming back to my roots is the best thing I've ever done; Edinburgh and London - good times - but now I can have a dog, grow my own veg, breathe clean air and see the sea, every single day.
I love films, magazines and eating - if I can do all three while camped out on the couch or in the bath, I'm happy!
I am quite a soppy romantic, and I really, really, really love my job.
Loving this one Lynnie, it’s very well shot. Love to see how far you’ve evolved with your photography over the last year.
Stunning.

Yoohoo- What a beautiful and handsome couple! “I don’t want sunbursts and marble halls, I just want you. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more ‘scope for imagination’ without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn’t matter. We’ll just be happy, waiting and working for each other – and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.”
Lay ye always, the kitten x
