Texas meets Scotland at a romantic St Andrews wedding

Austen & Stuart’s wedding in the Autumn was one of the most romantic ones I have photographed. They were SO in Love.  and were very touchy feely.    Which make for some great photos!  Mind you they hadn’t seen each other for 3 months before the wedding! 
They met at St Andrews University which therefore entitled them to be married at St Salvators – the University Chapel.  

The day started with Austen getting ready at Morton of Pitmilly holiday cottages, near Kingsbarns

Austen dress, all the way from Texas,  was exquisite with a nod to Scotland with the Scottish thistle design
