Beautiful Pittodrie House Wedding in Autumn

Pittodrie House weddings are by far one of my most popular jobs, especially in autumn. Doug and I even considered staying a couple nights as we were there 6 times throughout September and October and luckily so. Chapel of Garioch's Pittodrie house grounds are nothing short of spectacular at that time of year with all the rich colours. They'd probably seen enough of us I thought so I spared them that torture! Fun times though as I would arrive in the morning only to see my couples from the previous day checking out and getting a good catch up on how the party ended.

Managing to catch up with Rachel and Greig I asked them a few questions and requested any tips that might help you on your way.

"Well the biggest advice would be don’t worry, the people who are helping make your day special do it all the time. They know what they are doing! Also take time to look around and see everyone enjoy themselves, you won’t manage to talk to everyone but don’t worry! That's why we did a line up for this reason and I’m so grateful we did."

How did you Find the Photography Experience?

"Personally I don’t think I will ever tire of my guests telling me that they just loved the photographers - they honestly felt like guests! We're both not huge fans of getting our pics taken but going away and getting couple photos was so chilled, it wasn’t awkward at all! From our morning prep it was all fun and games and so accommodating. Really honestly we couldn’t/wouldn’t have any other photographers to capture any life events!"

Favourite Moments From Your Pittodrie House Wedding?

'Confetti line up - It was so much fun and everyone understood the assignment! Evening Time- everyone was just having so much fun dancing and singing! Bridal squad photos with confetti - was so original and so much fun!'

Absolutely loved hearing this as its one of our favourite things to organise, there's just so much joy, action and colour in them. Definitely one of the best pic opportunities of the day.

What did you Gift Your Bridal Party?

Bride squad girls got their jewellery from Etsy, personalised flip flops, pjs and thank you cards. Grieg and the boys got their kilt pins from kilts wi hae, they also had personalised pendants from Etsy of family members who are no longer with us - which was a surprise to the groom also!

Any funny wedding stories or disasters?

"My toenail coming off and being glued back on! Rufus surprise big boy appearance and people thinking my usher forgot the rings. Also our walk in song for the reception didn’t play!"

Rachel and Greig weren't alone with the music not playing, there's a common theme with this one. Someone always seems to have the pressure of this and so many things can go wrong with a phone, Batteries, Wi-fi etc. Maybe get them to do a few practices and make sure their phones are juiced up.
