Barra Castle Wedding with Tartan Kilts
Photography by Caitlin + JonesA castle wedding with all the tartan kilts, gorgeous scenery, and a dog (YESSS). Shona & Darren were married in a micro wedding at the Barra Castle in Aberdeenshire. Their day had a rustic and relaxed vibe, inspired by the venue and surrounding views. With little boho touches, such as pampas grass, lots of greenery and plenty of neutral earthy tones! We absolutely love the Autumnal vibe and golden hour photoshoot, which looks positively idyllic against the glorious backdrop of fields and blue skies!

FAVOURITE MOMENT
The Ceremony. Due to the restrictions and having to wear masks indoors, we made the decision to get married outside. In Scotland. In November. That's risky! But, it was important for us to see our guests smiling faces as we got married. Luckily for us, the weather was glorious. The ceremony backdrop was insane; with the Scottish landscape behind us and beautiful ceremony arch made by Tupleo Tree. Having just 20 people there made it feel so intimate. I'd never pictured this specific ceremony scenario in my head. It was more perfect than anything I'd imagined.
ADVICE
The pandemic has almost sucked all the joy out of planning a wedding. My advice to couples going through this would be that time does pass, you will have your day and it will be more special because of everything you went through. If you don't want to wait, then don't, we never thought we'd go for a micro wedding option, but we both admit the day was more amazing than we could have ever imagined! We wouldn't change a thing. You can always throw a big party at a later date. Double the celebrations can't be a bad thing!
Shoutout to Shona’s glorious bouquet! How delicious does it look against her boho chic gown? We love it.

Are you dreaming the princess dream of a castle wedding? Well, take a look at this intimate Italian castle wedding, complete with a Prosecco tower (we approve). Or, if Barra Castle is for you, check out this wedding, which took place in the venue itself! Finished with plenty of fairy lights and foliage.
