I met Romilly when I was shooting her sister, Tasmin\u2019s, September wedding in Asheville<\/a>. I instantly bonded with both of these beautiful and vivacious women. And when Romilly asked me if I would be interested in photographing her October wedding in\u2026wait for it\u2026Scotland<\/a>, how could I say no? Photographing the weddings of these two sweet English sisters within months of each other and on two separate continents was a joy. Shooting my first international destination wedding was a dream.<\/p>\n

My sister, Jennifer, accompanied me on this trip to both to ensure that we didn\u2019t miss a moment of action and also as a little birthday present for herself! \u00a0We even took a few extra days in to explore the\u00a0beautiful city of Edinburg and ate in Jamie Oliver<\/a>‘s incredible restaurant. This was the first time a family member has helped me on a shoot and I must say, it was quite fun to boss her around for the weekend!\u00a0Romilly and Adam\u2019s families were not only incredibly generous hosts, but they made us both feel like family, making photographing these fabulous people such a treat.<\/p>\n

Classes had not even started yet with Adam and Romilly met their first week at university.\u00a0 They became fast friends and about six months later, Adam pulled together his \u201cDutch courage\u201d, as Romilly likes to call it, and admitted his crush.\u00a0 Seven years later, they were on one of their mutually beloved road trips, this time in Rome at the Coliseum<\/a>, when Adam popped the question.\u00a0 These two have been together for a long time and have already experienced a life together, yet they still possess a tender love filled with laughter and happiness.\u00a0 They are also very laid-back and relaxed.\u00a0 Their planning reflected these attributes\u2026they wanted their wedding to be all about family and friends coming together to have fun and celebrate\u2026everything else was secondary.<\/p>\n

Their fall wedding at Melville Castle<\/a> in Scotland was a fairytale setting for Romilly and Adam to celebrate their obvious adoration for each other.\u00a0 And as if an ancient castle wasn\u2019t enough of a personal treat, the vivid colors of the autumn leaves during the day and the crystal clear sky bursting with stars that evening gave the outdoor shots an unbelievably striking background.\u00a0 The details throughout the celebration embraced the colors of the season.\u00a0 Even the blustery winds and unpredictable Scottish weather could not dampen the spirit.\u00a0 Scottish music by a traditional Ceilidh band<\/a> and wild dancing made the late night shots frenetic and filled with laughter, with Adam and Romilly\u2019s playful happiness center-stage.<\/p>\n

Romilly and Adam gave me the incredible gifts of both time and trust. Living on separate continents did not allow us the normal timeframe to do an engagement session in order to get to know one another. Instead, they invited us to come to Melville Castle the day before the wedding where we traipsed all over the grounds and found wonderful, secluded spots for a sweet portrait session. And during the reception when the rain was coming down and the winds were howling, they didn\u2019t hesitate to venture right into the tumult for a breathtaking romance session. Having two full days and nights of shooting was a luxury that allowed me to fully capture every little detail and most importantly, their genuine love of each other and all of the people there to celebrate with them. The images that resulted are stunning, much like Adam and Romilly themselves.<\/p>\n

I was honored to be a part of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
