A Celebration of Summer: Capturing the Magic of a Tipi Wedding at Greenbank Garden, Glasgow

Michelle & Michael, Greenbank Garden, Glasgow

Summer in Glasgow brings with it a burst of warmth, joy, and is absolutely perfect for an outdoor ceremony… if the weather holds up. Luckily, we managed to get a proper ‘taps aff’ day!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this amazing outdoor tipi wedding at the beautiful Greenbank Garden, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the festival styled outdoor setting to the high energy guest list, this wedding was a whole lot of fun!

Greenbank Garden, a hidden gem on the outskirts of Glasgow, served as the idyllic setting for this incredible celebration. The lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and historic charm of the garden provided a picturesque canvas for the festivities. The weather was definitely on our side, so Michelle and Michael chose to exchange vows on the beautiful lawn, surrounded by their family and friends.

The tipi, decked out in bohemian-inspired decor, transported guests to a world of rustic elegance. Draped in fairy lights, the tent glowed warmly as the sun began to set, casting a magical aura over the celebration.

The ceremony unfolded under the open sky, surrounded by blooming flowers and towering trees. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows, their love echoing through the garden. As a photographer, capturing these authentic moments amidst the beauty of nature was such a great experience.

The day was filled with lawn games, drinks, canapés and whole load of laughter.

As the evening progressed, the celebration moved to the dance floor in the tipi. Michelle and Michael shared their first dance surrounded by the soft glow of string lights, creating a romantic and intimate ambiance. Guests joined in, and brought their A-game to the floor.

As a photographer, Greenbank Garden provided a breathtaking backdrop for capturing candid moments and genuine emotions. From the joyous laughter during toasts to the stolen glances between the couple, every frame told a story of love and celebration.

The fusion of rustic charm and elegant details created a magical atmosphere that will forever be etched in the memories of all who attended. As a wedding photographer, it was an honour to capture the essence of this special day and witness the beginning of a beautiful journey for the newlyweds.
