There's something very special about a wedding day that feels completely yours 🤍

The moments you choose to share, the people you choose to have beside you, and all those little moments thay happen in between.

A&M's beautiful June Wedding was full of them - from emotional first looks with Dad and with each other, to celebrating surrounded by the people who mattered most.

We loved seeing A&M make Blairquhan their own, and we are delighted tonshare a few of these beautiful moments, captured by Kate Godfrey Photo

Why does a castle wedding have to mean a big wedding? 🤍

It doesn’t at Blairquhan.

This beautiful intimate celebration was just the **bride, groom and four guests** — six people in total, celebrating their wedding day surrounded by the grandeur and history of Blairquhan Castle.

From an intimate ceremony to a beautifully set table for six, every detail can be tailored to the size and style of your celebration.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering with your closest people or a larger celebration, Blairquhan can be YOUR castle. 🏰✨

Because your wedding day should feel completely personal to you, whatever the size of your guest list.

Congratulations Stephanie & Cameron

What a day this was. 🤍

The journey to Blairquhan Castle in Ayr was the perfect start to photographing Stephanie and Cameron’s wedding — and what followed was every bit as special as the setting.

With both Stephanie and Cameron working across film, television and theatre, there was an incredible creative energy throughout the day. Living in Austria, they brought together friends and family from near and far to celebrate with them in Scotland.

There were plenty of group shots (and plenty of people to fit into them!), but what really stood out was the atmosphere. So much laughter, so much love, and then… the dancing.

Honestly, the dance floor was incredible. The kind of dancing that makes a photographer forget about getting the “perfect” shot and just enjoy watching the madness unfold through the viewfinder.

Stephanie and Cameron, thank you for trusting me to capture such a brilliant celebration. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. 🥂✨
