GG's Yard Wedding
Date: 14th September 2019 // Venue: GG’s Yard
Jenna and Jonathan met and reside in Australia but came back to Scotland to have their wedding at this brand spanking new venue, GG’s Yard in Dumfries. It is a stunning barn with open windows and specifically designed to cater for weddings. Honestly, it’s gorgeous. Jenna and Jonathan booked it without a viewing as they were at the other side of the world but they absolutely made the right choice! I joined Jenna as she was getting ready in the bridal room with her maids.
The boys arrived and were right down stairs in the whiskey room finishing their final touches.
Jenna has a stunning natural beauty about her.
Jonathan waited nervously at the bottom of the aisle. He was filled with emotion.
They had a lovely non-religious ceremony involving readings and singing from friends, hand fasting and a mention of Dotty the sausage dog who couldn’t make it in from Australia.
Guests headed outside for drinks and canapes. I loved how the bridesmaids and groomsmen were all co-ordinated in black.
We took a drive up the hill to get some amazing views of the area.
Just by chance we bumped into one of the staff who asked us if we wanted to go even further up the hill in the Landrover. So we jumped in an off roaded right to the top.
The wind was perfect for Jenna’s long veil.
As we came back down it was time to be piped in for speeches and dinner.
After formalities I took Jenna and Jonathan down to a nearby beach where we just had a walk and winded down.
Back at GG’s Yard we cut the cake and headed into first dance.
They had organised a Ceilidh for their guests who got right into it. It looked so much fun. I left them for the rest of the evening partying away. It was a beautiful GG’s Yard wedding.
