Glasgow City Chambers, Scotland, UK Elopement Photo Story Award

Glasgow City Chambers, Scotland wedding image during a civil ceremony kiss in the Kelvin Suit

The bride and groom shared a passionate kiss after they said "I do" at the City Chambers, their clapping guests looking on in joy as the moment was captured in a timeless black and white image

The newlyweds had their civil ceremony in the Kelvin Suit at Glasgow City Chambers. An intimate room that holds no more than 35 Guests.

Jessie and Mike had always wanted a small wedding with just their closest friends and family. They held their service in Glasgow's registry office and followed it with a meal at their local pub. For them, many of the traditions of a wedding just didn't fit with their idea of a wedding day, so they picked the parts that had meaning to them. Having just a small number of guests allowed them to do things differently. Documentary photography was really important to them, and the idea of having lots of couple photos and group shots again didn't fit into their day. The images reflect the relaxed and unique day, and keeping it intimate was key to its success.

Jessie got ready in her flat in Glasgow, with her mum, dad and brother there along with her closest friends. This was the moment they first saw her in her wedding dress. A vintage dress that was bought in Glasgow. Jessie loved the way the dress swooshed.

Even with less than 30 guests, you can still get a great confetti shot. This was one of the few traditions Jessie and Mike really wanted to keep. They made sure their guests had access to loads of confetti which made for a great shot.

These guys weren't a huge fan of having traditional couple photos taken, so it was important to capture them as they were, fun and spontaneous. This was shortly after they were married along the busy high street in Glasgow City Centre.

I managed to get a few portraits of Jessie and Mike in their local park that was opposite their flat. The texture on the wall reflected their urban city wedding perfectly.
