Lights, Camera, Confetti!: A Classy & Energetic Wedding at Lochside House Hotel

Karis & Daniel - Lochside House Hotel


Picture this: Ayrshire's rolling hills framed by a magical twilight, the iconic Lochside House Hotel and guests buzzing with anticipation in their tuxedos and glamorous dresses. No, it's not a Hollywood movie premiere, but Karis & Michael’s epic wedding that I recently had the privilege of capturing.

This wasn't your average nuptials - it was a whirlwind of sophisticated glam, infectious energy, and a touch of playful surprise. Buckle up, photography lovers, as we dive into this unforgettable celebration!

A Casino Royale Fit for a Fairytale: Forget the stuffy reception hall; this couple brought the party with a chic, custom-built casino. Guests donned their finest attire (think tuxedoed groomsmen and bridesmaids in beautiful black gowns) and traded vows with the backdrop of the loch. But the real magic happened at the reception, transforming the casino into a vibrant hub of laughter and friendly competition.

Beyond the Ballroom Blitz: The ceremony and reception were beautifully orchestrated, yet infused with a playful spirit. The hotel provided the perfect canvas for this unique blend of elegance and fun, while the attentive staff ensured everything ran flawlessly.
