If you're after a lowkey wedding, THIS is how you do it!
K&A got married in secret on their tenth anniversary. They pulled their wedding together in a matter of weeks, roped in a babysitter with a story about a trip out of town, then headed to the Stonehaven registry office to (literally) tie the knot.
In fact, their wedding was so secret that they got me - their photographer - and one of my trusted friends to act their witnesses. We might not have met them before that day, but there were still a lot of happy tears!
After their ceremony, we headed along to Stonehaven Harbour for an hour of couple photos.
Stonehaven has no shortage of beautiful places for photos, but K&A opted to keep things relaxed and simple by sticking to the harbour - and just look at how that turned out! I can't do a starry-eyed emoji in this blog, but you can accurately picture me tapping away at my laptop with hearts popping all round my face.
This is the bit where we were sneaking past one of K's colleagues who was picnicking down on the sand...
Tell me you got married during the World Cup without telling me you got married during the World Cup.
It's one of Scotland's little known secrets that THIS is what sgian dubhs were created for.
This is what K&A said about their experience with me:
We opted to reach out to 'Windswept Stories' to capture the best moments of our Big day and it's safe to say, we couldn't have been happier with Sarah and the results.
Whilst we had some ideas in mind for the photos following the ceremony, these were quickly enhanced on the day with Sarah's incredible vision and energy to create and capture the best moments of our 'surprise' wedding, which were shared with family and friends thereafter.
Sarah's genuine and bubbly personality helped in putting us at ease, helping take away the stress and pressures, ensuring the best moments and shots were taken.
And based upon the results, Sarah has evidenced her abilities to manage the pressures and expectations which any couple would have on their big day, producing incredible photographs for us, which we will cherish forever!
