Monika & Michael - Birse Kirk & Potarch Hotel, Aberdeenshire - Scottish wedding photography

W

We had a fantastic day up in Royal Deeside yesterday, photographing Monika & Michael’s intimate and beautiful wedding celebration. They had done a wonderful job of organising everything from their home in Amsterdam, and their attention to detail resulted in the perfect day.

Monika and her family were getting ready at a nearby steading, which has been converted into a holiday cottage and was in a gorgeous setting.


Monika looked absolutely breathtaking…


The word of the day was the mother-of-the-bride’s favourite – ‘whisky’ – prompting much laughter during the family photos!

Post-war Citroen Traction Avants were the stylish mode of transport for the day.

Down at Birse Kirk, Michael and his best man, his brother, Alan were looking good in the Irvine tartan.


And their ushers were doing a great job…


A lovely Humanist ceremony followed.



After champagne at Potarch Hotel, we headed down to the river.





Regular followers of our blog will know that we love distressed buildings, and we really lucked out at this location – with lots of great spots for fashion-style images. And Monika & Michael were just fantastic to photograph.


The very happy couple…
