Ailsa & Colin said, 'I do' in a breathtakingly romantic, intimate ceremony on the shores of Loch Morlich. 💍 Surrounded by the beauty of Badenoch and Strathspey, they exchanged rings and heartfelt vows, sealing the deal by sharing a drink of Lemoncello from the quaich.

From the moment Ailsa met Colin, she was drawn to his tall, handsome charm and wicked sense of humour. Colin, captivated by Ailsa's intelligence and easy-going nature, knew he had found someone special! 😍

Their love is shared with their family, friends, cats, and they love the great outdoors, especially the Aviemore area. They particularly love cosy evenings with Colin's famous tapas and a good bottle of wine 🍷🍷

These two even support rival football teams! ⚽️ 🥅
Yes that is just how much these two love each other! ❤️

Here is to a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure together! 💖

Victoria & Richie. ❤️
After 20 beautiful years together and 18 years of engagement, they finally tied the knot on the shores of Loch Morlich! 🌊 💍
Their journey has been filled with adventure - travelling to many countries, building a lovely home, and sharing a life with their beloved dog, Brunch, named after their favourite whisky Bruichladdich. 🐾
They first met through Victoria's brother, who played football with Richie. Their connection was instant, and over the years, their bond has only gotten stronger. 💕
With heartfelt vows, a handfasting, and a toast from the Quaic, Richie and Victoria celebrated their love in a ceremony that was truly personal and meaningful.
Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and great food and wine! 🥂 💍 #

These two gorgeous human beings chose to come all the way from Wyoming USA to tie the knot here in Scotland. ❤️ Crysta and Sean knew there was nowhere else in the world that they would rather marry and surrounded by family and friends they did just that. 🌟 Their ceremony was a celebration of their love and there was much laughter and joy as their love story was shared with all gathered at the Glen Mhor Hotel. Their first date was at the movies, watching "Dirty Granpa" followed by a late-night chat over hot chocolate at McDonald's. As huge "Game of Thrones" fans, their perfect night in is a medieval meal of Cornish Hen, russet potatoes, and mead while binge-watching the show. 📺 In their intimate and heartfelt ceremony, Sean and Crysta exchanged wedding rings and vows and sealed their union with a handfasting using a cord they had especially chosen for their wedding day. 💍
Wishing this lovely couple a lifetime of love, laughter, and many more trips to Scotland. 💘 Just look at their wedding cake....so cute! 😍

Jade & Ali 🌟
Their wedding took place at The Kingsmills Hotel and everyone loved hearing how their journey began when they were youngsters moving within the same social circles, often finding themselves at the same gatherings. Their friendship blossomed over time with many impromptu road trips in Ali's beloved Seat Ibiza! 🚗
Ali knew the way to Jade's heart was through her love of animals, and naturally, that saw their first date being a trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park, right up Jade's street. 🐒 🦁
After buying their first home, they went on to share it with none other than their much adored dog Millie 🏠 🐕 who, by all accounts, rules the roost! 🤣 Mille also appears in the table names and on the wedding cake, just take a look it's brilliant. 🐕‍🦺 Their ceremony was emotional, fun, and beautiful 😍 They lit a unity candle, exchanged vows and wedding rings, and sealed their love by drinking from the quaich. 🍾 🥂 Here is to a lifetime of love and adventure for Jade and Ali! ❤️

Connie & Pepe's Love Story ❤️
From workmates to soul mates, Connie and Pepe chose the breathtaking shores of Loch Morlich for their intimate wedding. 💖 This magical spot, where Pepe' Spanish charm and Connie's unflappable spirit, is where he proposed and where they chose to marry.
Connie, the new "Eastern European Queen," as Pepe once called her and Pepe, a charming, laid-back Spaniard, prove that opposites truly attract. 🌟 They're the perfect team, and to use Connie's Polish phrase Pepe truly is "the one to steal horses with!" Here is to Connie & Pepe, their love, laughter and their fabulous forever. 💍 🍾 #

When Billie and Piers exchanged vows at Coylumbridge, the weather may have been snowy and chilly, but it failed to dampen the radiant love that illuminated their wedding day, underscoring the profound connection they share. We heard how on their initial meeting, Billie was captivated by Pier's impeccable style, charmed by his accent, and delightedly by his sense of humour, prompting her desire to know him better. Conversely, Piers found himself enchanted by Billie's warm smile and captivating eyes, leaving him utterly smitten. Surrounded by the unwavering support of her bridesmaids Leah and Naomi, and with Piers attended to by his best man Dom and groomsman Jake, the couple was well taken care of on their special day. However, stealing the spotlight was undoubtedly their beautiful daughter, Parker, who proved to be a most sensational flower girl. Billie and Piers, thank you for allowing me to be part of your joyous celebration. ❤ Coylumbridge Aviemore Hotel Aviemore Jade Esson Photography

The signifies a special moment in the life-death-rebirth cycle of nature. It marks the year’s longest continuous period of darkness in the Western hemisphere, the shortest day and the longest night.

However you spend the season and festive period, we hope you take some time to wind down, cosy up and coorie in! In the words of poet Donna Ashworth, “you are wintering”

Wintering by Donna Ashworth -

You may think yourself lazy, or flawed. Yet your body is made of almost exactly the same elements as the stars. Your bone composition matches the coral in the seas and you, my friend, are ruled by the moon and the sun. Whether you like it or not. So no, you are not lazy, Nature is simply pulling you to slow, like the life, the floral and fauna around you. It is not your moment to rise. It is winter, you are wintering. And you are right on time.

❄ What does winding down for winter look like for you? ❄

Lauren & James 🤍 a lovely ceremony where they exchanged rings and wrote their own vows, reading them over a handfasting ritual using their own cord. You can use any material to perform the handfasting ritual, in Scotland it’s popular to use tartan but you can be as creative as you want, I’ve seen band t-shirts, horse reins, dog leads! There are no rules, one of the many ways you can make your humanist wedding ceremony totally unique to you🌟 congrats Lauren and James🥰

Lovely Kirsty & Dean🤍 we said vows, exchanged rings & sealed promises by drinking from the quaich🥃 we also included “The love letters & gin box” into the ceremony. This is where couples write a secret love letter to their partner, and on the wedding day we seal the letters into a box with a drink of your choice. Kirsty & Dean went for gin but you could have wine,whisky, blue wkd! On their first anniversary Kirsty and Dean will open the box, read the letters and toast to their marriage💗 congrats you two!!
