Plan Your United Kingdom Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

The Caryls were amazing from the very first email I sent. My husband and I were travelling from Australia to Scotland to get married and the communication and help we received from Jim and Katy was fantastic every step of the way. Photography was probably the most important part of the wedding planning and we fell in love with their style, quality and ability to capture a love story in perfect moments. On the day nothing was to hard and they were both incredibly professional, even hiking a mountain in the rain with us. We love our wedding photos and the online delivery made it so easy to download and share with all our friends who couldn't make it due to the travel distance.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible work done by Sean Bell. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and perfectly capture the essence of our special day. From start to finish, their professionalism, warmth, and unobtrusive presence made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. They managed to capture candid, natural moments effortlessly, making us feel at ease throughout. It truly felt like the magic of our day was frozen in time with each photo. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to document our wedding. Thanks to them, we have beautiful memories to cherish forever. Their talent is extraordinary, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had them as our photographer. Thank you for making our dream come true with your stunning photography. We hope to work with you again in the future!

Where to begin…my fiancé and I are from Dallas, Texas and are completely unfamiliar with Scotland. We decided to do a last-minute photo shoot to capture our engagement - little did we know it would be freezing, windy and pouring rain. Elliot arrived on the day and exceeded ALL expectations. He offered to reschedule the shoot due to the weather and we declined due to our itinerary. Elliot had traveled through the rain 2 hours to meet us. Neither of us would describe ourselves as photogenic. We headed out in the conditions nervously, but Elliot made us quickly comfortable. The result was indescribable. We were FLOORED at how beautiful Elliot was able to capture such a poor looking day. He had scouted the location in Glencoe prior to our meeting and picked the best locations. We made a memory to last a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend any photographer more. BOOK ELLIOT CAUNCE. You will not be disappointed. If I could give him 100 stars I would. Thank you, Elliot, for capturing our love and documenting such an incredible moment that we will keep forever. You went above and beyond and we are forever grateful.

We had the pleasure of meeting Tash at a friends wedding where we were super impressed with her energy and natural and authentic photography style. Luckily she was available for our wedding party and we were so thrilled. Tash is incredibly attentive to your needs and offers professional and thoughtful guidance throughout the whole experience including thoughts on different shots, where the best lighting and backdrops might be and the best times to capture group pictures with minimal interruption to the flow of your wedding. Tash is a master of her trade and has already given us such joy with our sneak peak shots which are such a happy and special addition to her service. We cannot wait for the full album and could not recommend Tash more. Choose her to capture your special day and you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Tash! Ellie and Caro x

We are so glad that we hired Laszlo as our photographer for our elopement to The Trossachs. Being two fairly introverted people, we were a bit nervous about our photo shoot. But Laszlo's warm and down to earth nature immediately put us at ease and we had so much fun! We are absolutely delighted with our photos and they completely exceeded all our expectations. Laszlo captured the happiness of the day and the beautiful scenery, whilst keeping the shots very honest and natural. We cannot recommend Laszlo highly enough. He is such a pleasure to work with!

I have to say, if you are at all considering Ieva Marija Photography, just DO it! Our photos are truly stunning, and she is so professional to work with. When my fiance and I showed up to our session with Ieva in Glencoe, not only was it raining, it was HAILING! ...I was truly so disappointed and convinced that my hair and makeup would be ruined and the photos would look terrible. But Ieva was totally prepared for it and she single-handedly turned the whole experience around. She is so positive and upbeat. She got RIGHT out there is the hail and the wind, and really led us through the shoot. She assured me the photos were stunning as it was happening. She helped us have fun and embrace the moment. Eventually the hail stopped and we also got photos in light rain, and even clear skies. But in the end, she was right-- the photos in the hail are epic. Truly. You can't even really even tell it was hailing at all! lol. We all know that Scotland's weather is unpredictable- so go with a photographer that can make you shine in even the most crazy of weather. I'm so grateful to her!

When I found Susi, I still don’t know whether it was coincidence or the universe bringing us together—but I’m so grateful our paths crossed. We had less than a year to organise our wedding, and from our very first video call, I knew she was the one. Her work had already spoken for itself, but her warmth and contagious laugh made the decision easy. She was thorough, attentive and generous with her advice. No question ever felt like too much. Meeting her in person only confirmed that we had chosen someone special. She listened carefully to everything we wanted and delivered something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. She even visited our venue before the wedding to get a feel for the space and how she could capture our day. On the wedding morning, Susana made me feel completely comfortable and brought such lovely energy. She had this wonderful ability to be there without making us feel watched, quietly capturing all those little moments while we enjoyed the day. She fitted in so naturally with our guests, and speaking both Spanish and English meant she could connect with everyone and guide them whenever needed. All our guests raved about how lovely Susana was, and my sisters absolutely loved her—she felt like part of the family. And the photos—I honestly struggle to find the words. She captured love, laughter, movement and togetherness in still images that felt timeless. They are full of feeling, beautifully candid and exactly what I had hoped for, only better. We chose not to have a videographer, so these photographs mean so much to us. Susana even captured a few little video clips, which was such a thoughtful gift. Her care extended far beyond the wedding day. Throughout the planning, she checked in—sometimes about the dress or other preparations, and sometimes simply to ask how I was feeling in the lead up to the wedding. She even bought me a special Spanish fan as a little gift, such a personal and thoughtful gesture that meant so much to me and is now on my mantle as a beautiful memory. She shared her knowledge so generously, and her passion for what she does came through in every conversation and every photograph. Susana, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have given us memories we will treasure forever. If anyone is hesitating about booking you, I hope this helps them take that step! Muchísimas gracias, mil veces gracias. Con cariño y amor, Dee

Where do I start? I am a huge control freak and after a few conversations with Laura, I completely let go and let her handle it all. She put us at ease from the first conversation. My mind was at ease and we knew she was the PERFECT person to plan and execute our wedding. Laura took our vision and elevated it beyond expectations. She took what we wanted, collaborated with our suppliers and delivered a wedding beyond expectations and words cannot express how impressed we were. Planning a wedding is hard enough but planning one in a different county is really difficult. Laura pulled it off and made it beyond special, she made it a dream wedding. from start to finish it was just exceptional. She worked with places for flowers, hair and makeup, dining, our photographers, and our officiant... all our suppliers and our wedding venue. She is the ONLY person I would trust to plan a wedding in Scotland. She even came to spend the day with us on our wedding day to ensure a well executed day. She is a perfectionist and puts her completes heart into YOUR wedding. No detail is too big or too small. Very detail oriented. Very gracious and genuinely warm and caring. My wife and I are humbled at how great she made our day. We cannot recommend her strongly enough... Laura is no longer our wedding planner, she's our friend. Thank you for a magical day!
