A Machrie Hotel Wedding

This wedding brought a few firsts - the first wedding since the Machrie Hotel on Islay was renovated, and the first wedding after our first COVID lockdown – what an amazing wedding it was too. Mel and Ian from Carnoustie were due to get married in a far-flung sunny location but fate, family and COVID brought them to Islay!

As the boys played their golf and the girls got ready, the mists and drizzle had rolled in and the outdoor ceremony they had hoped for was in doubt. With the ceremony looming, the mists cleared and presented them with a beautiful ceremony and stunning wedding sunset photographs to remember for a lifetime.

Ben managed to capture our day so perfectly it feels like we can re-live it forever. Thank you so much for making us both feel so relaxed so we could just be ourselves which makes our pictures simply perfect!

The wedding photography was great fun - it really shows in the pictures. The Machrie Hotel is such a stunning location for your Islay wedding – it's great to be able to get married overlooking the beach and have the hotel so close! Thanks for choosing me for your Islay Wedding Photography, Mel and Ian!
