This image was taken late in the evening in the iconic cloisters of the University of Glasgow — and it almost didn't happen.
By the end of a full wedding day, energy is high, light is gone, and getting a couple away from their guests for portraits takes a little persuasion. But Jillian and Reece trusted the process — and when Reece saw this image on the back of the camera, he turned to me and simply said: "That's the money shot."
He wasn't wrong.
The University of Glasgow cloisters are one of Scotland's most extraordinary wedding settings. The gothic stone arches, warm amber uplighting and cathedral-like scale create something that feels timeless — and this image of Jillian and Reece, completely lost in each other, is exactly what I love to find at the end of a long wedding day.
Jillian wore a beautiful gown from Opus Couture Glasgow, paired with suits from Slaters. Hair by Lisa Yvonne Hair, make-up by Make-up by Tabassum. Flowers by Oops a Daisy, cake by Sprinkles on Top, evening entertainment by The Brammers, and the day also captured on film by videographer Danny Rizzo.
