Altamount Manor House, Blairgowrie, Scotland Wedding Photographer - relaxed same sex garden wedding - David & James

I said it once and I will say it again - the most rubbish thing about this wedding is… that it can’t happen over and over again.

It was a beautiful, sunny and very hot day in Scotland. This combination doesn’t happen very often but looks like these guys are insanely lucky - not only with the weather but - what’s the most important - that they found each other.

They are perfect together.

I’m sitting here completely out of words, but I feel more and more that there is no right words to express the love vibe, honesty, cuteness, commitment, support, all these tiny looks, sneaky kisses, holding hands, simply being TOGETHER in this day.

During weddings, I can observe a lot that sometimes couples are scared, stressed and later on simply overwhelmed by emotions, and somehow they spend most of the day separate - talking with friends and family, solving tiny problems, but still away from each other. I’m not saying it’s something bad… Many people react for this amount of emotions in many different ways, BUT I love when they can be all over it, when their love is bigger, when the LOVE is dominating the day.

That’s how it was with James and David. It was THEIR LOVE - not everything around. There were no fancy details - it was the albums on the tables showing what they love to do and how they love to live, there was Instax cameras for their guests to capture the day, there were Cosco cakes and no sit-in meal - just BBQ in the garden with burgers, fries and salads. It was SIMPLE. It was REAL. It was honest, happy day of two smiles lads who want to live their life happily together.

What I love about this form of wedding… Everyone was happy, relaxed and there was freedom. No one was sitting next to a table, plenty of people was simply wondering around with beer and burger being completely relaxed. It’s amazing when weddings can make people rest and have fun. Altamount Manor in Blairgowrie was a perfect choice - relaxed, with plenty of spaces to drink, relax, dance or simply enjoy the sun.
