Weddings at Balbirnie House – Game Set and Perfect Match for Gemma and Colin Fleming

Wedding Photography Scotland – Balbirnie House

Balbirnie House is one of our favourite Scottish Wedding Venues in the depths of the Fife countryside. It is a fabulous location for romantic Scottish wedding photography offering wonderful opportunities for some stunning photographs.

In the middle of December we found ourselves back for another Scottish Wedding at Balbirnie House to photograph the Wedding of Gemma and Colin Fleming.

Gemma looked absolutely stunning wearing a ivory lace gown that showed off her petite figure to perfection. Her bridesmaid wore a champagne coloured chiffon gown which worked perfectly with the red and gold colour theme for the flowers and chair coverings.

There was wonderful piano music playing throughout the day provided by the fantastic pianist Alex Graham who encouraged guests to ask for requests! He was brilliant.

Tennis fans will no doubt recognise our Groom, Colin Fleming, as he is the Commonwealth Gold medal holder (along with Doubles partner Jocelyn Rae) and ranked number 33 in the World for Doubles. He often partners alongside another of our previous grooms, Jamie Murray.

So with Colin playing tennis at international level and Gemma being a primary school teacher, what better fodder for the wedding speeches!! Colin’s older brother, Michael, (with the aid of a projector) poked loads of fun at Colin recounting many sibling rivalry stories throughout their tennis careers (secretly you could see he is really proud of him). Not to be outdone, Gemma’s Dad, Graham, told many amusing stories about being mistaken for Gemma’s fiancé while picking stuff for their new house (as Colin is frequently away on tour). There was much hilarity when he told us what Gemma’s pupils had to say about her: “she brought in Irn Bru for health food day”. Very funny!

When we left our home near Stirling that morning there was a fair amount of snow underfoot so we dressed appropriately in our good snow boots and heavy coats and looked forward to some snowy white wedding shots! When we got to Balbirnie House there was not a bit of snow to be seen. How daft did I look in my snow boots?! We did capture some stunning cold crisp outdoor shots though as you will see below.

As soon as the room was set up for the evening’s entertainment and the band played their first note, the dance floor was packed and looked liked staying that way for the rest of the night. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day for all involved….

Weddings at Balbirnie House are always fabulous, but Alan says that “Carlsberg must have organised this wedding though” as it was just so perfect resulting in a huge amount of images that we just have to share with you. So as usual here are out favourite wedding photographs from the day.

Friends and family can view the rest of the wedding photographs in our Client’s gallery.

P.S.

Photographers may like to note that we’ve changed our processing regime and have started using VSCO Film instead of Alien Skin Exposure to emulate our favourite films Kodak Porta and Tri-X – we’re delighted with the results.
