Vintage Vibes

What can I say about this stunning vintage themed, Forbes of Kingennie Wedding.

Well, it was super hot, fun and beautiful!

This was my first visit to Forbes of Kingennie which is set within a country resort with beautiful lakes and woodland and it was one to remember as the bride was an old friend.

Old Friends

I went to school with Kate so I had a lot of fun planning the photography with her and Sean.

6 weeks before the wedding we had a fun evening in St. Andrews, where we did an engagement shoot and had a fun time talking about life, weddings and our old school days.

On their wedding day I stayed up way too late so I could catch up with people I hadnā€™t seen for years.

Kate and Sean looked at lots of venues before settling for the lakes and woodland backdrop of Kingennie just outside Dundee.

As soon as I looked at it, I could see why they chose it; the fishing lakes, woodland and boathouse created the most beautiful backdrop and they could also accommodate lots of people on site in the beautiful woodland lodges.

Rescue The Speech

When I arrived in the morning, Kate was getting her makeup done and her mum and bridesmaid Hayley were drying out her dadā€™s speech which had accidentally been soaked.

Hayley was walking around holding pieces of paper like wings while her mum used the hair dryer to try to dry them out.

Kateā€™s Stella York Dress

Youā€™ve got to love a pretty dress and this Stella York wedding dress is one of the prettiest Iā€™ve seen. The detail and cut suited Kate perfectly. We had some laughs messing around with her veil, wrapping it around Sean and trying to get it to catch in the wind.

The Guys

Sean and the groomsmen were in a lodge 5 mins from Kateā€™s so when they were almost ready I popped along to get some pics of them.

Ribena or Whisky?

Once they were all ready Sean gave each groomsmen a hip flask but with Seanā€™s teenage nephew as one of the groomsmen they had some chuckles trying to distinguish which contained the Ribena.

Looking Across The Water

The girls were in the Glen Isla lodge which had a great view across the water.

They could watch the boys walking to the venue to meet the guests and the kids loved watching the fish jumping in the water.

Favourite Photo

My favourite photo from the wedding is Kateā€™s bridesmaid Hayley doing up the buttons on her dress.

At school they were always laughing together and Hayleyā€™s attempts at doing up the tiny buttons on Kateā€™s dress caused a lot of entertainment.

This photos reminds me of the silly things we laughed at when we were at school. In the end she managed none of the buttons and the other bridesmaids stepped in.

Buddon Burn Ceremony Room

The ceremony room has a majestic vaulted ceiling and wide doors which back onto one of the fishing lakes.

It was a super hot, sunny day so the doors were swung open and the room was decorated with beautifully simple decorations giving the perfect summer wedding vibes.

Personal Moments

Seanā€™s dad had sadly passed away the year before so they had a traditional quaich ceremony to celebrate his 40 years working in the whisky industry.

One of their friends also read a poem they had written as surprise for Kate and Sean.

Talented Friends & Partying

The reception was held in the Inglesmaldie events suite and was full of unusual and vintage style details.

They had a sweet geometric cake created by her bridesmaid (also called Kate) who runs Gorgeously Sweet Cake Emporium.

There were lace decorations created by our lovely mutual school friend and a previous Ali Jay bride Angela Clarke and whole load of other cute details.
