Lisa & Adam. The Hermitage. Dunkeld

See that hug happening at the side there? That there is one of my favourite things about ALL my weddings.
It doesn't matter that I don't know the folk, or that they are not my family or my friends, just seeing folk come together is such a wonderful sight. There will be folk who have shared childhoods but not seen each other for 30 years, groups of pals from Uni who all kept in touch but not been all together since graduation...wee cousins who only get to play together at family gatherings.
I love to be a wittness to all that emotion & joy!

Ossians Hall at the Hermitage in Dunkeld is  spectacular with it's huge trees, river, waterfall and walks, but it can have its issues...the first limitation is it's size, as it doesn't hold too many folk, the second is the volume! If the river is in spate it can positivly roar down the waterfall and rapids just beyond the viewing balcony, and the wee bit protection given by the glass doors may not be enough to damp it down...there is no electricty either, so lighting & sound has to be considered too. There is limited vehical access  as well.

However, it can also be the PERFECT spot for a small, relaxed and not too fussy wedding, as it was for Lisa and Adam.
With their families arriving from the far north and far south, it was almost equidistant between to the two, as well as allowing them to be outdoors much of the day as they wanted to be, and make the ceremony as intimate as they wanted it to be too, without to much formality...and with the guests all around them as seen in these pictures, it really was ideal.
Thank you SO much for sending these through Lisa!
