Wedding Photography The Torridon | Maree & Paul

Lynne Kennedy — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:27:46 +0000

Last Saturday I travelled through some wintery conditions to The Torridon to photograph the wedding of Maree and Paul from Blackpool. The couple had eloped to get married in the Highlands, an area where Paul loves walking, and so only the hotel staff, the registrar and myself knew of the nuptials! It was a gorgeous winter wedding – not great weather but dry enough for a short while for us to get outdoors. Maree comes from Australia and met Paul in London, but they have settled in Blackpool, where Paul is from. Here are a few of my favourites. Congratulations to the happy couple and to all my 2011 brides. All the very best to you all for your first married Christmas!

Wedding Photography Achnagairn House | Elaine + Tony

I love love loved yesterday’s wedding. Not just because I photographed my first pair of Christian Louboutain’s (very sparkly), and it was my first time shooting at Achnagairn House (gorgeous venue and Roddy the manager is first rate), but also because it was really really fun. Elaine and Tony tied the knot with their close family and friends there, some of whom had travelled from Tony’s native Australia to be there. Elaine, who grew up on the Flichity Estate on the other side of Loch Ness, is emigrating to Australia where she and Tony will start their married life together.

The whole day was relaxed and lovely and romantic and fun. Great couple, great venue, great family, great guests. What more can you ask for!

Here are some of my favourites, okay, a lot of my favourites. But, as this is my last big wedding this year, I’m ending it with a bumper blog post!

Please feel free to leave a comment for Elaine and Tony below. And from me….”All the very best you two, in your amazing new life together”. xx

Wedding Photography Eilean Donan Castle | Anna + Chris

Earlier this week I photographed the wedding of Chris and Anna from Yorkshire. It was a very intimate wedding with just their little daughter Natasha, and Chris’s parents in attendance. Eilean Donan looked glorious in the warm winter sunshine and celebrant Judi Buttner’s ceremony was very moving. Afterwards we did a little tour of the castle and grounds to take some shots for Chris and Anna to remember their special day. Please feel free to leave a comment below for the newlyweds.

Wedding Photography Loch Ness Country House Hotel | Caroline + Iain

Lynne Kennedy — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:21:35 +0000

A few weeks ago I travelled to Rosemarkie Church of Scotland to photograph the wedding of Caroline and Iain. I started at Caroline’s parents’ home, a few miles from the church, which had amazing views of the sea. Sadly, the weather wasn’t great so we were not able to take advantage of the view, however it was just held off a bit when Caroline arrived at the church for the ceremony. Afterwards everyone travelled to Inverness to Loch Ness Country House Hotel for a small reception of just 20 family and friends. Later that evening there was a party, but I had waved cheerio to the newlyweds by then. Here are a few of my favourite images from the day. Please feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple below.

Wedding Photography Inverness | Kayren + Neil | Drumossie Hotel

Lynne Kennedy — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:20:17 +0000

Yesterday I was in Inverness for the wedding of Kayren, from the Black Isle, and her young man Neil, who comes from Uist. The couple got married at St Columba’s Church in Smithton, Inverness, before hosting their reception at the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness. Karyn was getting ready at her parents home in Avoch, along with her bridesmaid’s Elizabeth and Julie, and flowergirl Lexy who was very cute! Around 120 family and friends joined them for the ceremony, which was conducted by Neil’s local priest from South Uist. They jet off this evening on honeymoon to the Cape Verde islands. Here are a few of my favourite shots from yesterday. Please feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple below.

Wedding Photography Loch Ness Country House Hotel | Claire + Steven

Lynne Kennedy — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:22:59 +0000

Earlier this week I went over to Inverness to the gorgeous Loch Ness Country House Hotel for the wedding of Claire and Steven. It was an intimate wedding of just 20 close family and friends and apart from a short shower during the ceremony, we had dry weather, which was good as it allowed us to get outside into the lovely grounds at the hotel. I have to make a special mention of Claire’s lovely mum, Elizabeth, who was helping Claire’s very sweet friends/workmates with the bridal preparations – we had a great time in the bridal suite. Anyway, here are a few of my favourites and please feel free to leave a message for the happy couple who are currently in Rome for a few days honeymoon.

Wedding Photography Isle of Skye | Catherine and Tim | Duisdale Hotel

Lynne Kennedy — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:31:11 +0000

Another Duisdale Hotel wedding – this time the lovely Catherine and Tim who decided to marry ‘a deux’ on the lovely Isle of Skye. We were very lucky with the weather that day so Catherine and Tim were able to marry outside before we took a little drive around Sleat to some of my favourite locations. Here are a few of my favourite shots – feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple.

Wedding Photography Isle of Skye | Karen + Malcolm | Duisdale Hotel

Lynne Kennedy — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 07:51:20 +0000

Karen and Malcolm travelled to Skye from Glenrothes in Fife recently, to tie the knot at the lovely Duisdale Hotel in Sleat, on the Isle of Skye. It was a very personal wedding, with just the couple’s parents and their two children in attendance. Karen was quite an un-traditional bride and wore a black and white dress with some interesting shoes! Here are a few shots from the day. Feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple.

Wedding Photography Isle of Skye | Hannah + Paul | Cuillin Hills Hotel

Lynne Kennedy — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:30:26 +0000

The lovely Hannah contacted me quite a long time ago to shoot her wedding to Paul in Portree, on the Isle of Skye. It was a delight to finally meet Hannah, Paul (who she met in Italy – how romantic!) and their family and friends. There were only around 30 people at the wedding in total and it’s nice to shoot weddings like this, as you really get to know everyone over the course of the day. As a surprise for everyone, Hannah and Paul had organised for the Isle of Skye Pipe Band to march into the hotel grounds at 6pm and the guests really enjoyed the performance. A few days after the wedding, Hannah and Paul asked to do a post wedding shoot so we spend a couple of hours down at the other end of Skye, in Sleat, dodging the showers. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the days I spent with them. Please feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple below.

And here are a few images from the post wedding shoot!
