A FUN AND COLOURFUL WEDDING AT THE BARN AT BARRA CASTLE

Updated: Feb 22, 2023

THE ONE WITH THE CUSTOM-BREW, THE TRAMPOLINE, AND THE POLYTUNNELS

We were on the outskirts of Inverurie at The Barn at Barra Castle (which is similar to Gaurdswell Farm and GG's Yard) this April, with the lovely Victoria and Duncan. After coming across our Facebook page, the pair got in contact with us about their big day at the incredible venue, and thought we’d be a perfect match. The morning began with the bridesmaids getting ready in an on-site lodge, which was brilliant for letting in that perfect bridal prep light. We both had a great laugh with the bridesmaids and the groomsmen, which is always the best way to start our day, and makes for some excellent photographs. The ceremony was held in a beautiful but simple room with a high ceiling, exposed wooden walls, an amazing fire, and a pair of Mr and Mrs balloons. With the light pouring into a bright white room, and our super-in-love couple standing in front of a dark wooden backdrop, it was a dream to capture! Everyone was then treated to some of Victoria and Duncan’s self-brewed beer with custom illustrated labels, which was a nice touch, and we even scored a couple bottles to take home! While their guests enjoyed the beer, Duncan ran to get a change of footwear for Victoria – which he even changed for her, so sweet! – and we headed off into the grounds for a few snaps. We found a cute little old-as-hell outhouse, so we nipped in for some pictures, before coming across a trampoline and instantly hoping the pair would be down to get bouncing! Tonie dragged over a bench for them to be able to easily climb on, and they were more than happy to give it a go. Our favourite shot of the day was of our newlyweds, holding hands, mid-air. Too good! We then got some great images in the nearby polytunnels before heading back to the venue. A proper successful shoot! Hilarious (and slightly explicit) speeches with props; personalised Ladybird books as favours; and incredible catering made this wedding one to remember - along with a stunning venue and great people. We’re glad we got to capture your day, guys! Scroll down for a look at our hard-to-whittle-down best shots!
