Burns Monument Centre Wedding and Dumfries House Reception

Bride and groom holding hands during wedding ceremony at The Burns Monument Centre

It's easy to get lost in the bigger picture and focus on the things we've come to expect as standard on a wedding day (during the bridal prep, the wedding ceremony, the portraits and the wedding reception with it's speeches and first dance). These things are worth our focus.

However, when we look beneath that, we often find something a little more special. In the details we find the little stories reserved just for their wedding and their wedding guests.

In this blog, you'll find the very personal narrative that weaves through the weddings I photograph across Ayrshire and Scotland.

Cassie and George’s wedding at The Burns Monument Centre in Kilmarnock followed by a reception at Dumfries Arms Hotel in Ayrshire was full of smaller moments happening quietly underneath the day itself.
