Photographing another fabulous Dalmahoy Hotel wedding reception in West Lothian was wonderful.
Our lovely couple Laura and Scott were married at St Anthony’s R.C. Church in Polmont, then held their wedding reception at Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club near Kirknewton.
This wonderful occasion took place on a beautifully sunny Saturday in July.

Dalmahoy Hotel wedding reception photos
Here are some of our favourite photos from Laura and Scott’s wonderful Dalmahoy Hotel wedding reception.
Church ceremony
Arriving at the church before the marriage ceremony, Jonathon and I took photos of the church and set up our video cameras to record the ceremony.
Our handsome groom, Scott, looked seriously smart in his full-kilt outfit from JH Kilthire.
We took photos of Scott and the boys on the lawn outside the church.
There were lots of kilts swooshing as we captured some action shots of the boys walking towards the camera.
Jonathon and I captured fabulous photos of the guests as they gathered in front of the church.
One hundred of Laura and Scott’s family and dearest friends filled the church to witness and rejoice in celebrating their love for one another.
They committed to a lifetime of love in a ceremony led by Father Jamie.
The ceremony was filled with prayer, hymns, and promises and was a joy to witness and photograph.
Laura looked stunning in her wedding dress designed by Ronald Joyce from Olivia Cameron Bridal.
Laura’s dress showcased a full skirt, high neckline, and encrusted crystal detailing.
Jodie Anderson beautifully styled Laura’s hair in an ‘up-do’, and MUA Gillian Lees flawlessly applied her makeup, complementing her long wedding veil.
Officially married, the newlyweds received rapturous applause as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife.
Each congratulated them and every one of their guests at the front of the church.
A celebratory pop from a champagne bottle as their chauffeur filled two glasses for our newlyweds to enjoy in the back of their Beauford car.
The happy couple visited the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club for their wedding reception.
Reception at the Dalmahoy Hotel
Guests cheered as Laura and Scott were piped into their champagne drinks reception in the Dalmahoy Hotel’s cocktail bar.
The doors opened, letting in the warm summer breeze as guests moved outside to enjoy the venue’s terrace and lovely panoramic grounds.
It was the perfect moment to take a group photo of the entire wedding party on the staircase.
Laura and Scott hopped into the ‘Just Married’ golf buggy, and away they went with Jonathon for their newlywed photo shoot.
I stayed close to the family and guests and photographed all the giggles and merriment of the drinks reception.
It was an essential part of the day, beautifully and seamlessly documented.
Everyone then enjoyed funny, loving, and heartfelt words from Laura’s dad, groomsman Scott, Scott’s best men, and two of his best friends.
Seated in the fabulous Dalmahoy Suite, everyone feasted on a delicious wedding breakfast.
Delicious smoked Tay salmon with salsa verde and celeriac remoulade, slow-braised beef, warm apple tart, caramel sauce and clotted cream ice cream.
Coffee and chocolate truffles perfectly rounded off the meal.
Laura and Scott’s beautiful three-tiered cake by Sugarush was ready to cut as guests gathered around the dance floor.
Cameras and phones were ready, and guests watched as Laura and Scott performed their first official activity as husband and wife.
A romantic first dance and then quickly joined on the dancefloor by the rest of the guests.
Fabulous evening entertainment by The Dawn Patrol band started the party, and then it was time for us to say goodbye to our newlyweds.
