Carol Anne + Chad

A Intimate Scottish Wedding at The Burke Manor Inn

What do you do when a lovely bride calls you, says she loves your work and wants you right then to be their photographer for a small intimate wedding?! Especially when it is Scottish wedding with kilts, sashes, and Scottish thistles?! You says YES!  And this wedding DID NOT disappoint!!

Carol Anne and I (Michelle) immediately connected from the first phone call! She had so many wonderful ideas that came alive on the phone, a gorgeous venue (The Burke Manor Inn) and such a bright warm personality! It felt like talking to a long time friend who wanted to catch up. I loved every second!  Carol Anne talked about all the details that she wanted to use! From colors, to sashes, to kilts! She wanted to really incorporate their background of Scottish heritage into their wedding. And by goodness, she nailed it! It was stunning to see it all come together!

Her dream began a reality this past weekend, when an intimate gathering of friends and family came around her and Chad! Chad and Joseph (Carol Anne’s son and best man) wore a kilt with each of the clan colors and pins! Carol Anne had her lucky pence in her left shoe given to her by her father, and added pops of color that connected back to both of their families clans. One of our favorite detail that they included in their wedding was where their invitations and kilts were made.  Are you ready for this? They were all made…in Scotland for Carol Anne and Chad! How amazing is that?! Oh, it was so magical!! Sara got some love from Carol Anne…Sara was so giddy!! 🙂  The danced their first dance to the music of the bagpipes to the song called, Mist Covered Mountains!

Never did Sara and I have so much fun photographing with this sweet, gorgeous, lovely couple! Congratulations to Carol Anne + Chad (and Joseph, Maddie, and Emily)! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of not only your amazing day, but a part of your family!
