The wedding at Dundas Castle began with photographing the preparations.

Everyone was friendly and relaxed.

I knew this would be a fantastic day. There was no sign of nerves or stress, just happiness and excitement that the big day had finally arrived.

The wedding ceremony occurred in the oldest part of Dundas Castle, The Auld Keep.

Piper Roddy Deans led beautiful bride Zara up the stairs into the chapel.

After a lovely romantic wedding ceremony, Zara, Sam, and I went up onto the roof of the building for a few newlywed photos.

The guests relaxed down in the main Castle with a glass of bubbly.

The weather was perfect for shooting most wedding photos outside on the grounds of Dundas Castle.

We took a few traditional, more formal group photos, which ensured we got at least one photo of everyone who attended the wedding!

Piper Roddy piped the newlyweds into the beautiful Croquet Room.

It was fun photographing the speeches. I love capturing everyone’s reactions to the various anecdotes.

After the speeches, Piper Roddy performed his entertaining ‘Address to a Haggis’.

Roddy knows how to perform, and the guests loved this part of the day.

I ended my coverage of this wonderful wedding at Dundas Castle by photographing the first few dances.

The newlyweds took to the dance floor for the first dance, followed by their family and guests for the start of the ceilidh.

It was a brilliant end to a beautiful day.
