July in Scotland: a month that promises summer sunshine, but doesn’t always deliver! Thankfully, there are myriad other ways to add brightness at a wedding, as this beautiful styled photoshoot at Culzean Castle in Ayrshire proves.

“The shoot was an amalgamation of ideas between myself and the amazing Mel at Briar Rose Design,” explains Sarah Craig, the name behind the camera at wedding photographer Joy Story. “Mel yelled, “yellow!” and I said, “heck yeah,” so we incorporated lots of colour, fun and sunny accents, including yellow shoes.”

Florist Mel created a stunning rainbow-coloured floral installation and bouquet in the Camellia House, the Victorian glasshouse in the grounds of the National Trust for Scotland castle that the shoot team had access to for the day of the photoshoot. “It was a bona fide photographer’s wonderland,” says Sarah.

Flossy and Dossy loaned us a selection of gorgeous dresses to play about in and – oh my goodness – I loved them all!” beams Sarah. “Big thanks to Susan Dick Jewellery for bedazzling our lovely model Eden in sparkly amazingness too.”
