Destination Wedding Photography | Marr Hall Scotland
Marr Hall Wedding Photography in Glasgow | Jay and Nazmin
When Nazmin contacted my about flying up to Scotland to photograph her wedding I was pretty excited as, despite having travelled to some pretty far away places, I had never actually been to Scotland. Marr Hall is a stunning resort overlooking the River Clyde and Jay and Nazmin couldn't have chosen a more perfect setting for their Scottish wedding. The grounds around Mar Hall are stunning and despite the rain, we still managed to get outside to take advantage of the location.
This was a Pakistani Wedding ceremony and included a fantastic milk drinking ceremony which was followed by the stealing of the grooms shoes. Jay had to negotiate pretty thoroughly to get them back and it was a really fun conclusion to an amazing day.
