Stylish Autumnal barn wedding


Cairns Farm Estate

This Stylish Autumnal barn wedding took place at Cairns Farm Estate . There were capes, pumpkins, velvet shoes, a corvette and a ukulele playing guest! Also; rock, paper, scissors during Sally’s speech annnnnnddddd the best man had everyone in stitches with two truths and a lie (spoiler: they were ALL truths)! We said no to soft smiles and went for big, full of happiness face splitting grins!

Wedding Morning at Cairns Farm Estate

Sally & Grant both got ready at Cairns Farm Estate so I was able to capture both side of their morning. Grant looked very dapper in his kilt from McCalls Highlandwear. Sally’s dress from Bliss Studio was so elegant but it was her incredible cape from Catherine Deane that I fell in love with! Her shoes from Esska which was perfect colour to match their Autumnal theme. Briar Rose Design did an absolutely magical job with the flowers. Sally’s bouquet was beautiful and complimented her outfit perfectly.

Wedding Ceremony & Beautiful Autumnal Decor

I love the ceremony space at Cairns Farm Estate normally but after Briar Rose Design decorated it I loved it even more! The pumpkins and the colours of the flowers were just so quintessentially Autumnal! Gillian Varu conducted a beautifully personable ceremony. I really liked how she gave the guests an opportunity to photograph the couple at the top of the aisle before it started. This meant the guests could get the photo but then put their phones away and be present during the ceremony. A lovely touch!

Confetti Gauntlets & Drinks Reception Fun

Sally & Grant had a brilliant confetti gauntlet with lots of confetti!! So much confetti! Afterwards, they moved inside and enjoyed the talented Alicia Ryan on her ukulele as they greeted their guests. Their group photographs were captured beside the outside space so they could be present and around guests whilst these were taking place.

Couple Portraits at Cairns Farm Estate

We then went for some couple portraits; starting with Grant’s beautiful corvette. These were so fun to do! Before heading to the loch for some more. These two were so relaxed and happy that just letting them be together with the most minor of prompts resulted in such naturally joyful photographs!

Wedding Speeches & Ceilidh Dancing

After 4 excellent speeches their cake (which I had the pleasure of helping Grant decorate!) was cut with a sword! The Jets were brilliant and had everyone up dancing! The dance moves were brilliant and then everyone got stuck into the ceilidh! Thanks so much for having me at your beautiful, stylish autumnal barn wedding!

Jack & Hannah had an unforgettable day filled with laughter, love and a whole lot of honking 🪿🪿 (you’ll have to trust me when I say it’s a lovely story!). Set against the timeless beauty of the epic Hopetoun House, this wedding was a beautiful mix of elegance and heart. Great to be working along side Scott (@mackenzieweddingfilms)
again and have the excellent Lindsey (@mack_photo) with me to second shoot. A truly excellent day and a pleasure to capture! 

⚡️ The previews are absolutely incredible, we can’t believe you’ve got so many ready in such a short time!

We also just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you for all your hard work on Saturday. We have loved having you as our photographer, and both agreed that our favourite moments on the day were the ceremony itself and the moments just the two of us whilst we had photos/videos taken with you and Scott. It was so fun all the way through our photos with you, and playing Such Great Heights as we took the golden hour shots was a lovely touch!

Thank you! ⚡️
