Wedding Photography at The Torridon | Jen + Iain
Last week I shot my first wedding at luxury Highland hotel, The Torridon. It is not only a gorgeous building from the outside, set in a stunning location at the side of a loch, but inside the decor is beautiful and sumptuous. And so was the Afternoon Tea which my bride Jen and her new husband Iain enjoyed after their wedding ceremony.
But, before they sat to enjoy the culinary delights, we went off out around the grounds for some photographs. Jen looked absolutely stunning in her sequinned, shimmering sheath dress, while Iain, an officer in the Royal Navy, looked resplendent in his uniform. The weather was perfect, my favourite wedding day weather, overcast with lovely clouds and a bit of sun poking through.
Jen and Iain travelled back home to Argyll the following day and then hosted a dinner party for their family and friends at Cameron House Hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond that weekend.
All the best to the newly weds – we had a great fun few hours together and hopefully we can meet again when they come back to visit for their anniversary!
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the day. Please feel free to leave a comment for the bride and groom below.
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.
