‘With only 5 weeks notice Debbie was more than happy to accommodate our new arrangements and travel up to Banff for our wedding. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera. Debbie made us feel so at ease and became part of the family for the day. To say that she captured every moment would be a understatement. The photos and video montage are better than we could have ever imagined and it has really encapsulated our special family filled day. We are beyond thrilled and thankful.’
To say it’s been difficult for couples planning weddings over the past couple of years is the understatement of the century. Covid 19 has caused more than a few problems for people. However some couples, such as Kelly and Scott, have managed to roll with it and they have not let anything stop them having the most beautiful wedding!
Kelly and Scott both have large families so they had planned to have a big family filled wedding in Glasgow but when Covid happened they altered their plans to accommodate a small wedding instead, they said they would be keeping their wedding date whatever happens, they wanted to be married and that’s what it’s all about.
Kelly’s family are originally from Banff and her Grandparents still live there. The couple decided weeks before to move their small wedding from Glasgow up to Banff so that Kelly’s Grandparents could attend and it was the best decision because not only could Kelly’s family attend but the weather in Banff was amazing. What a stunning place and to be beside the sea, it was absolutely gorgeous!
‘During the planning process we were surprised how easy it was to initially plan the wedding when you have the right people there to help you along the way. Scott and I are not traditionally the ‘wedding’ type, however due to large families on both sides we planned a big wedding in Glasgow. Due to the global pandemic happening in 2020, we decided at last minute to rearrange our entire wedding and move it up north so family could attend ( as you can imagine, we were secretly thrilled as a small wedding was more up our street). As we had the best people working alongside us, the process of changing wedding plans with 1 month to go was surprisingly easy.‘
‘Our most vivid memory was after the ceremony when all family and friends met outside on the patio for some drinks. We were both surprised when further family and friends who were not able to attend due to COVID restrictions were hiding outside to surprise us. Debbie captured that moment beautifully and it will stay with us forever.’
‘…Scott and I were not the typical wedding folk. After going back and forth trying to come up with a wedding that would suit us and our family, our advice to couples is to do it how you want. The only way you are going to enjoy your day is if you have the wedding that you wanted all along.’
This is one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever photographed!
