Wedding Photography in Caithness

Another local wedding this month, and this time my first ever visit to Scarfskerry Church. Denise Moughan and David Whitelaw were married there on the 5th of March on a beautiful, sunny but chilly day. The day began with a visit to the Gorgeous salon in Thurso where the girls were having make up done. From there we moved on to the Ulbster Arms, Halkirk where Denise was getting ready before heading to Scarkskerry to meet the guys. After a very nice service we headed to the harbour in Scarfskerry for a few shots, before an opportunistic session with an old scrap JCB digger we found nearby, before we headed out to Geise for some shots of the happy couple, before returning to The Ulbster Arms for dinner. A really great day, nice group and a relaxed atmosphere. Oh, and the food at the Ulbster was out of this world!

How did you meet? Thanks to a (literal) push from the wonderful Christeen Davidson.

Why did you choose your venue? Scarfskerry church has been David’s family church for many years. We chose The Ulbster Arms based on their fantastic reputation for food and accommodation.

What was your favourite moment of the day? I loved every minute! I wish we could do it all again.

What advice would you give to other brides planning their wedding? Don’t worry about the small things, enjoy the day it goes so fast.

Any other stories or comments: I’d like to thank everyone who helped with the wedding. A special mention to the ever so patient Keith and all his wonderful staff at The Ulbster Arms for working so hard to make the day perfect.

I also can’t thank and recommend John enough. He is not only an excellent photographer but is also very funny and charming.

Thanks Denise – I don’t think anyone has ever accused me of being charming before – delighted with that :)
