Hetland Hall is an elegant country house set amidst beautiful country grounds, situated just outside Dumfries and minutes from Gretna Green.
With sweeping views over the Solway Firth and the mountains of The Lake District, Hetland Hall provides an unforgettable, unique setting for your wedding day.
Daniella and Calum were gifted with a lovely summer’s day in July and we had a ball! Enjoy the highlights!
Daniella and Calum chose a humanist ceremony by Phyllis Wright. Louis and Grant provided the acoustic music for the procession and during the signing of the register.
Family group photos took place on the lawn and then we headed off for a couples shoot. Hetland is blessed with some lovely grounds and wooded areas around the hotel, within a very short walk too. This really helps time-wise during the couple shoot.
The guests were very well looked after with great canapes and ample drinks! Whats not to like!!
Time for the speeches and wedding breakfast. The room was looking lovely and the speakers were in top form! Plenty of banter and laughs! I love this part of the day!
A great day was had by all and it was a pleasure to be a part of it. Thanks for choosing me guys!

It’s always a pleasure to visit Springkell, an Exclusive Boutique Hotel and Wedding Venue situated just outside Eaglesfield. Within close proximity to the M74 and 6 miles from Gretna Green Springkell is easily accessed.
Whether you dream of an intimate getaway for two, a huge wedding celebration or something in between, Springkell is a beautiful Palladian Mansion offering stunning rooms, elegant dining, and a range of bespoke wedding options.
On a calm September morning, Morgen and Jochen were very relaxed with both sets of morning preparations on site, the atmosphere around the house was lovely and everyone was rather excited. I love the morning of a wedding. It’s a lovely part of the day. Some great emotions are captured for sure! Enjoy the highlights from the big day!
Humanist Wedding Ceremony
The Ceremony was conducted by Tasha Monaghan Leung. A lovely, fun Humanist ceremony with lots of humour and heartwarming content. That leather jacket is awesome!
Springkell has so many locations to get great photos during the couple shoot. All are within a short walk from the main house too.
Family formal shots were done on the lawns outside the house during canapes and mingling.
There was even time for some close-up magic and croquet!
Congratulations Morgan and Jochen. It was brilliant to be a part of the big day!

A big thanks to Kristen Sharp, my amazing second shooter on the day!
Other great suppliers which made the day possible were as follows:
A Laggan GG’s yard wedding never fails to impress and yet again, didn’t disappoint! With stunning scenery and gorgeous indoor spaces, this is a truly world-class venue in every way. As usual, the staff were on the ball and eager to help. Thanks guys!
Kimberly and Jamie opted for a combined photo and video package after recommendations from several friends whose weddings I had shot over the years. It’s always nice to get work this way and lovely to catch up with previous couples. One wedding this year had 6 there! Wowza!
The morning weather got off to a moody start but my request for a sunny afternoon was granted and the sun popped out just in time! The day was captured in a candid manner with minimal fuss, catching the moments mainly as they happened just as Kimberly and Jamie requested.
Full day Photo and Film Package.
A relaxed morning with preparations on-site meant we had loads of time and zero stress, well, from our point of view anyway! This is always a good thing on the morning of a wedding! Only travelling 30 yards from the preparations room to the alter is always a big help! A humanist service by the lovely Barbera Chalmers was followed by canapes and drinks on a sunny late summer afternoon. Even in the event of inclement weather GG’s offers super spaces indoors with good light and ample space to do family photos etc.
The great atmosphere continued into the evening and when we left around 9.30 pm the dance floor was in full flow!
Great to be a part of a great day for both sets of family.
Enjoy the highlights film and photos from the day!
A big shout out to all suppliers involved in making a fabulous day!
Hi, I’m Lee, a Dumfries Wedding Photographer. I provide wedding photography in a natural, relaxed style across the U.K. and beyond.
Nicola and Kieran’s big day took place in the stunning surroundings of Dalswinton Estate which is truly stunning in every way! It really is soooooo nice to be photographing weddings again!
The Estate is situated just a few miles from Dumfries and features stunning grounds which contain a loch, lush gardens, a walled garden, and a marquee. Be sure to check out what’s on offer for your big day!
Accommodation for the bridal party is available on-site if required. The Bridal party stayed the night before in the Mews Cottage which is only a short walk from the walled garden where the ceremony was due to take place.
Nicola and Kieran booked me as they wanted their big day documented in a natural relaxed style. Below are a few highlights of the big day!
We were blessed with a warm summer day that allowed guests to mingle outside and play some lawn games while we did some family group photos. Plenty of prosecco and beer was on hand for the all-important hydration though so no worries there!!
A superb day was had by all. Thanks to Nicola and Kieran for choosing me to document their lovely day in pictures. It was both fun and a great pleasure to be a part of the big day!
Huge thanks to all involved in the running of the day.

It’s always a pleasure making the scenic journey to shoot a GG’s Yard Wedding. Even on a late December day, the surroundings are as stunning as ever! With rolling hills on one side of the road and the lovely Carrick Shore Coast on the other its a real feast for the eyes.
This was my first time at GG’s for a micro wedding and everything ran perfectly. Nicola and Stuart had a lovely laid-back wedding day with 14 of their closest friends and family, and their lovely Labrador of course! David Smith was his usual cheery self and delivered a lovely Humanist Ceremony. Micro weddings are really lovely in a different way to a larger affair and certainly not something to be afraid of, especially in these uncertain times.
Here is a selection of images showing the highlights of the day. Enjoy!
The star of the show for sure!! What a handsome boy!
The sun even made a brief appearance in the afternoon. We were lucky with a lovely winters day though.
I hope you enjoyed these highlights from Nicola and Stuarts GG’s Yard Wedding. It was a pleasure to be involved on the day. A big thank you as always to Vikki and all the staff.

Small weddings are just awesome! I was lucky enough to be a second shooter with the one and only Neil Thomas Douglas back in January. This was my first elopement and what a great day it was! With stags, dogs, great people, and amazing scenery we couldn’t go wrong really! In this current climate, smaller weddings are going to feature more and more and this is no bad thing at all. Absolutely lovely to be a part of this day from start to finish.
Glencoe
Glencoe was epic and the weather played ball for us and Kat and Grant were awesome to work with! We started off at the Ballachulish Hotel which is situated where Loch Linnhe meets Loch Leven. The Ceremony was planned at Glen Etive so the weather was monitored with military precision!
A very chilled wedding morning ensued with lots of laughs and good banter and food. Just the way it should be! Stress levels close to zero for all involved!
Glen Etive in front of the “Little White House” on the bed of the river Coupall was the setting for a lovely fun-filled ceremony conducted by Gail Brack from Humanist Society Scotland. The wind blew strong but the rains stayed away! Such a stunning setting for a ceremony.
A fine mix of Yorkshire Ale and Malt Whiskey was blended in-situ and sampled with mixed opinions!
WE GOT A STAG!!!
A few drams at The Clachaig Inn followed before heading back to Ballachulish for the wedding meal and celebrations.
All the best to Kat and Grant in their future together and a big well done to all involved in making a brilliant day!
