Mara & Chris' Incredible Jewish/Scottish Wedding at Lochgreen Hotel

The amazing couple that is Mara & Chris got married at the beautiful Lochgreen Hotel in Troon on a very rainy Monday, but that didn’t stop them from having one hell of a party! It also didn’t stop them from going out in the rain for pictures. I’m always up for an adventure, so I was more than happy to oblige.

The day had so much to offer. The ceremony (and the dance floor) incorporated Jewish and Scottish traditions. From tying the knot to smashing the glass and from The Horah to The Slosh! So much fun!

What an incredible day with an awesome bunch of people.
