Louise and Gary – Kinnoull Church and Salutation Hotel, Perth. Wedding Photography Scotland

Louise and Gary got engaged in Butchart Gardens, Vancouver Island, Canada. A stunning place, we have been there a few times and love it too so I knew that we’d get on great. Considering the weather we have had recently they were very lucky to have such a great day. As usual I started off at Louise’s Mums house in Perth overlooking the Tay, we captured the getting ready process. I have a feeling that Louise would not be happy with me if these shots ended up here!!

 
Being so close to the river has it’s benefits, especially on a great day as last Saturday was.


Louise has done some modelling in the past and it certainly shows, she went right into the poses I was just about to ask for – an easy day for me then!

I caught up with Gary and his Best man Ben at the Church, I’ve been here a few times and the Minister is great, very accommodating and a really nice guy.

The service was relaxed, informal and at times very funny.

I loved the light coming in through the Church windows.
Because of the Butchart Gardens connection, Louise wanted to do some shots in Rodney Gardens, ok not quite the same but I have to say a beautiful location for photography, especially on a sunny day like this. In the past I have had to queue up behind other photographers on good days here. Today we were alone.

Under the bridge for a few more shots. Here I even had to ask a passer by to hold my flash.

Over by the lake for a last shot before we headed to the Salutation Hotel for the meal. I have never photographed a Wedding here before but I was very impressed.
The room was decorated very well, and the cake was stunning – it was made by a relative, this is actually very common that relatives make cakes. I never imagined that there would be so many talented people out there that are able to do this.

Some hilarious moments at the speeches – mainly at Garys expense. Then dinner!
