Here's the second instalment of my 2016 wedding sneak peek series featuring Jennifer and Paul who were married at The Old Kirk in Kilmacolm. They then had a small reception at the Lynnhurst Hotel in Johnstone.

Lorna & Richard, Tontine Hotel, Greenock

I'm kicking off my 'wedding sneak peek' series today where I'll post up some preview images from my latest weddings right here on the blog for you to enjoy. Of course, if you follow me over on Facebook and Instagram, you'll also see the sneak peek images there. Enjoy!

So today I'm starting with Lorna and Richard who were married at St John's Church in Gourock. We then went to the Mariner's Home for some pictures and on to the Tontine Hotel in Greenock for their reception.

Ardgowan Estate, Scottish Wedding Venue

Ardgowan Estate is one of the most magical and fascinating places I've ever visited. And it's a stones throw away from where I live! A few months ago I was invited to meet Sir Ludovic Shaw Stewart who gave me a quick tour of the place. It would make the most amazing wedding venue with so much to explore, more details about that right here.

I recently returned with my camera where I was given the freedom to explore. I walked into many of the grand rooms that looked out on to the estate. I was completely in awe of the place as I unearthed many of its hidden treasures that revealed some of its history. I ventured outside and stood at the door to the ruined chapel, imagining the people who once walked in and out of its grand entrance. Through the gardens, across the lawn and through the woodland. Ardgowan Estate has a heartbeat that's ready to come to life again and is about to begin another exciting journey. But right now, explore with me through the collection of images I captured. (oh and if you scroll to the bottom, you can see some aerial footage shot with a drone of the estate, amazing stuff!)
