Planning an Outdoor Wedding
September 2020

1. Don’t worry too much about the weather!
The only predictable thing you can say about Scotland's weather is that it is unpredictable - rain, wind, snow and even hail could interrupt your wedding, but my tip is to carry on regardless.
If the weather does interrupt your outdoor wedding, don’t worry, I always provide beautiful white umbrellas, will have scouted out your venue for more sheltered spots, and carry lights in case we need them to brighten things up. Why not have some wellies ready in case it does rain - for fun images!
If the forecast is poor for your outdoor wedding day, we can do a pre-shoot to test out the shots in advance.
2. Think about your backdrops when looking for your venue
Did you know that If you’re getting married in Scotland, you can get married anywhere if the ceremony is conducted by a religious official, registrar or humanist celebrant?
However, If you do want to get married outdoors you will need to think carefully about where you choose.
You will need a variety of locations for shots so choose a location with a great view, or has a romantic ruin. Why not get married in the grounds of a grand mansion or even up Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat or Calton Hill.
If you are planning an outdoor wedding, why not get in touch to discuss?
