Morag and Simon’s Wedding Day at Airth Castle Hotel and Spa

A couple of weekends ago saw us at one of our local wedding venues  - Airth Castle Hotel and Spa for the wedding of Morag and Simon.

Morag and Simon live down South, but Morag wanted to return home for a proper Scottish Wedding and chose the gorgeous wedding venue of Airth Castle. The stunning castle overlooks the village of Airth and the nearby River Forth.

Airth Castle Hotel was recently named the “Best Wedding Venue in Scotland” at the prestigious Vows awards and is a well-deserved accolade as the staff cannot be more helpful.

Of course weddings don’t organise themselves, even with the perfect wedding venue.  It takes planning.  Lots of it.  However, if Carlsberg planned weddings they would hire our lovely bride Morag – if ever there was a lesson in “best practice” on how to organise a wedding with was it.  (You can see Morag’s wedding project folder in the images below). Morag was so organised and the wedding ran like clockwork allowing the happy couple to relax and enjoy their well-planned day.

We first met Morag and Simon last year for their pre-wedding photography shoot at the Wallace Monument in Stirling.  So on the day we were all very relaxed.

Occasional cases of mass confusion did however occur every time I asked Morag for something – as readers of the blog will know, my wife and wonderful assistant is also called Morag. Eventually we agreed Morag 1 (aka the bride) would be called Morag, and Morag 2 (aka the photographer’s assistant) would be called Mo. That lasted all of two minutes when I already had the names reversed. No problems with the groom fortunately. Well done Simon.

We had great fun with the happy couple and their guests all day – it was a fabulous wedding. In the evening we brought along our popular photobooth to allow guest to get some “couples” shots in our portable photography studio, as well as some fun filled “creative” shots.

Here are some of my own personal favourite shots from the day:-

P.S. The Best Man’s speech reference to the Volcanic Ash Cloud disruption was classic, bringing out a carrier bag from Iceland to collect the ash.
