Wedding Photography on Skye | Jackie & Rory | Flodigarry Hotel
Last Saturday saw the wedding of Portree girl Jackie Barrett and her fiance Rory Beaton at Flodigarry Hotel at the north end of Skye. Sadly it was a pretty wet day until the late afternoon but that didn’t dampen the spirits of any of the family and friends who had travelled to Skye for the event.
This blog post is my longest ever but the wedding was so fabulous I just couldn’t narrow it down any more. Jackie’s dress was by Jenny Packham and she looked absolutely stunning, as did her bridesmaids Fiona and Sarah who wore a beautiful shade of blue. After dinner two of the couple’s friends performed an act for everyone which included playing instruments, dancing, juggling and a wonderful story. After the first dance, the floor was jumping as everyone danced to the ceilidh band.
Jackie and Rory, it was a pleasure to photograph your day and I wish you all the best for the future. Here are a few photographs and please feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple.

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.
Fantastic day was had, really enjoyed ourselves. Hope you had a wonderful Honeymoon, will see you in Dornoch soon Gareth, the honeymoon can’t go on forever, you have to return to work at some stage i’m afraid. Photo’s really good, captures the moment, didn’t realise you had such hairy legs Gareth!!!!
