Earlier this year Mark had the pleasure of photographing Heather and Arron’s wedding at the lovely Balbirnie House Hotel, a privately owned luxury country house hotel in Fife.
The couple met when they both finished University and were working in Debenhams in Dundee together. When Heather and Arron were in their last week of a year long travelling stint around the world in 2008, Arron asked Heather to marry him. He surprised her under the Christmas tree at the Rockerfella Centre in New York on bended knee.
Heather and Arron chose Balbirnie House Hotel as they did not want a church wedding being non-religious but didn’t want a registry office. As Heather told us “Balbirnie had a feeling of grandure, nice architecture and was a place for our guests to relax all day. The service was excellent and the food was top class.”
The couple found many of their suppliers online:
- The cake was made by Scrumptious Cakes based in Dundee
- The wedding band was called Athens and Heather says “they were amazing, and we found them on Music for Scotland website”
- A local florist in their hometown of Carnoustie called Olives provided the wedding flowers. Heather mentioned that the florist was “an old family friend so it was a personal touch”
- Heather’s dress was Benjamin Adams from Bows and Bells in Dundee
- Arron’s kilt was from Keith Scott and was made in Rangers tartan.
Heather and Arron also found Archibald Photography with an online search and loved Mark’s images. As Heather told us “they were the look that we wanted for our day and we weren’t disappointed.”
Here are some of our favourites from their day:
