The Story Of The Day

Every wedding at the Old Course Hotel feels like a blend of classic romance and Scottish charm, and as photographers, we find it an inspiring setting that never fails to deliver magic through our lens.

The day’s energy begins long before the ceremony, with morning preparations in the hotel’s luxurious suites.

Then comes the ceremony itself: whether held within the hotel’s refined interiors, such as the elegant conservatory, or overlooking the legendary Old Course, there are a variety of spaces to choose from.

And then, of course, there’s the epic photographic backdrop of St Andrews.

From the sweeping golf course views to the rugged coastline, the golden beach of West Sands, and the charming town, every corner offers opportunities and endless inspiration for breathtaking newlywed portraits.

Our photography coverage started with morning preparations for the beautiful bride, Kirsty, and her six bridesmaids.

It was great to see the girls enjoy themselves as we moved around the space, photographing the candid moments that tell the real story of this special day.

Palpable excitement is in the air, each moment more poignant than the last.

The bridesmaids, decked out in their matching dresses, chatter with nerves and joy.

Their laughter echoes against the walls, creating a symphony of celebration.

We loved photographing the bridesmaids, seeing Kirsty in her dress, and the moving first look with Kirsty and her brother.

These seemingly simple interactions weave a rich tapestry of emotions we strive to capture through the camera lens.

Kirsty and Andrew exchanged heartfelt vows and became husband and wife in a beautifully personal humanist ceremony officiated by Allan Kidd.

Family and friends celebrated as the joyful couple walked up the aisle.

We love capturing the ‘first kiss’, but Kirsty and Andrew’s cheeky little end-of-aisle kiss was one of our favourite wedding moments to photograph.

After group photos, guests could relax and enjoy the merriment of a fabulous drinks reception.

We adored taking Kirsty and Andrew onto the iconic Old Course for their newlywed photoshoot.

It was an experience filled with excitement, romance, and a touch of history.

There was something truly special about taking photos of the happy couple as they stepped onto the legendary fairways, where golfing greats have walked for centuries.

The Swilcan Bridge was a highlight—a moment when they paused to take it all in and shared a quiet embrace framed by the sweeping greens.

Each shot captures the magic of the moment and the beauty of this world-famous location.

By the time the evening reception kicks off, the joy is at full volume—laughter, dancing, and celebrations that make for incredible, high-energy shots.

As Kirsty and Andrew’s Old Course Hotel wedding photographers, it’s an absolute dream to be the storyteller in such an iconic setting.

Photographing the authenticity of Kirsty and Andrew’s love was an absolute joy.

Freezing time and preserving the feelings that accompany each moment, those candid glimpses into people’s hearts that make each wedding unique and an honour to photograph, is why we love what we do.

    We had a great time and felt so comfortable!

    Jonathon and Claire are the loveliest couple… from our very first communication, they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
    We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours…
    We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
    Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.
