Wedding Photographs

Finally! I have a chance to post up some of the photos from our wedding to show you guys. I hope I haven't shared too much, but we had so many photos it was difficult to narrow it down. There's a mixture of different pictures in this post including some of the ones taken by our professional wedding photographer Catriona Munro. Catriona's not only a great friend who made us feel totally at ease being photographed, but she's also incredibly professional and produced beautiful images. I'm so happy with the resulting photos and the way they don't look like 'typical' wedding photos.

The day itself could not have been more perfect. Especially considering I had a huge panic attack at the rehearsal three days beforehand (in retrospect, I think I got all my nerves and panic out the way that day so I didn't have any left by the wedding!). Everything just seemed to go so smoothly, from the ceremony, to the buffet to the (slightly embarrassing) speeches. We wanted it to be a Christian ceremony since our faith is something very important to us. We chose hymns and religious vows and, even so, I was still surprised at how lovely, personal and Jesus-centred the day was. The band playing for us was the band from my old church back home and two of my good friends gave prayers and read scripture. It was really lovely. I suppose everyone thinks that their wedding was the nicest since it's theirs, but it really was just perfect for us. Not too big and not too fancy and very, very child-friendly!

Fixing my jewellery at the last minute

And here's Culcreuch Castle, the beautiful gothic venue for our wedding... Well, the ceremony and meal were in another building but this is where we got ready and spent a lot of the day...

That's us! Spot the ghostly flower girl head in the window. Spooooky

Off to get married

As you can see, I'm papping it at this point. I was so worried my nerves would get the better of me

Annie, the only flower girl from my side of the family needs a bit of coaxing. I know the feeling, wee one

My wee nephew Angus. He's figured out the purpose of a sporran: it's for keeping dinosaurs in, duh

And now we're Mr. and Mrs.

Tim swears he's not having a pre-wedding night peek here. I'm not so sure

 Cheery couple

I think Tim was threatening to pick me up and run off with me at this point 

My Uncle poked out the window to take some nice birds-eye photos

Of course most of the photos had my sister photobombing us in some way

My bouquet artfully placed next to some of the table decorations. I'm not even going to pretend it didn't take me weeks to paint those jars and melt all the candles
