It was through a mutual friend of ours that Faye got in touch to invite me to take her Springkell House wedding photos. This was a mini adventure which took me cross country and north into Scotland and a stunning new first time venue for me. The most beautiful Springkell House is located just a few miles from a small village named Ecclefechan (not to be said fast whilst under the influence of alcohol). A very warm welcome awaits from James, the owner of this 300 year old house and the rest of his staff.My first meeting with Faye (apart from Skype!) was on the day of her wedding, a scenario that's becoming all the more regular in my work mainly due to the distance between me and my couples. Spirits were high and I got to work and with a venue such as Springkell with it's Georgian features of tall ceilings and huge windows, I had an abundance of lovely light to work with. Euan is currently seeing out his basic training in the RAF, so naturally the boys in blue were there to share the day with him, along with quite a few kilts too.

From the preparations in the morning we made the 4 mile journey by car to their church ceremony. Although being instructed to stay at the back and in the balcony during their ceremony, I was kindly allowed a quick opportunity to capture Faye and her father walking the aisle, and of course a nervous Euan awaiting his beautiful bride to be.They arrived back at Springkell House for their wedding breakfast, during which time I played scalextrics, yes you heard that right! I am only 42 you know.. The speeches followed and in true Scottish tradition the evening celebrations that followed were epic. Faye and Euan, the love you both share for each other I found endearing. I want to thank you for inviting me to capture Springkell House wedding photos, kudos to both of you for finding such a stunning venue. I wish you both all the very best.For those looking for their own Springkell House wedding photography then why not get in touch?
