Jenna and Ryan planned the most wonderful winter wedding. The bride’s gown with it’s delicate lace overlay for day time beautifully contrasted with vibrant reds and soft greens of the flowers Jenna choose. The girls got ready in one fun gaggle on the morning of the wedding while the groom, his father and friends wrestled with formal kilts and unfamiliar ties.

An noon we all travelled to the beautiful St Duthac’s RC Church near Dornie and the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. The candle lit church was beautifully decorated by the floristry team who had spent the early morning hours battling with high winds to ensure all was perfect.

After the service and the prettiest confetti walk Jenna, Ryan and I slipped away to brave the elements and create some beautiful bridal and couple portraits in Skye’s breath-taking landscape before we returned to the hotel for cocktails, music, feasting, dancing and fireworks. Cocktail hour featured the incredible wedding cake and the lovely vocal stylings of the couple’s very talented friends.
