Alex & Shaun's Summer Wedding at Ardgowan House, Inverkip

Alex and Shaun had the most amazing wedding at the beautiful Ardgowan House in Inverkip.

Their eye (Alex’) for detail was incredible. Together with their friends and family, they spent the entire weekend at Ardgowan House where they were wined and dined. The party would begin on the Friday evening where I joined them for a couple of hours capturing the fun and laughter whilst they enjoyed some BBQ food.

I returned the next day where I joined the girls in the Bow Room for bridal preparations. The guys all shared a cigar in the library before moving on to the ceremony in the Sculpture Room. I’ve never seen so many tears, even I was crying!

Alex & Shaun’s dog George was there as was their gorgeous new (ish) baby daughter Holly.

I absolutely love Ardgowan House as a wedding venue, it’s on my top 5 list! There is just so much to explore and I’ve been here many times.

Shaun’s dad brought along his MK1 Ford Escort! My goodness, what a car. It was absolutely immaculate and Shaun drove Alex down the drive complete with tin cans dragging along behind.

Anyway, what a weekend! One I’ll never forget.
