This black and white bridal portrait was captured at The Radstone Hotel in Larkhall, Lanarkshire — one of eight luxury wedding venues operated by the RAD Hotel Group across Scotland. With its striking contemporary interiors, grand foyer, and beautiful views over the Clyde Valley, The Radstone provides a naturally photogenic backdrop that lends itself perfectly to fine art and editorial wedding photography.
This image is a quiet moment — a bride lost in thought, the detail of her lace gown catching the light. Shot in black and white to strip everything back to pure emotion and texture, it's the kind of portrait that still looks extraordinary decades later.
The Radstone Hotel is tucked away in the picturesque Clyde Valley near Larkhall, easily accessible from both Glasgow and Edinburgh via the M74. Its wedding function suite features beautiful white beams, custom globe lighting, and elegant neutral décor — a modern, stylish setting that suits both intimate celebrations and larger wedding parties.
As part of the RAD Hotel Group, couples choosing The Radstone also have access to the group's wider network of Scottish venues, which includes Lochside House Hotel and Spa in Ayrshire, Brig o' Doon in Ayr, Seamill Hydro on the Ayrshire coast, Fairfield House Hotel, Dalmeny Park in Glasgow, and Hetland Hall in Dumfriesshire.
Based in Troon, South Ayrshire, I'm an internationally recognised wedding photographer with seven front covers and seven years of professional experience. I photograph weddings throughout Scotland and across the UK — from Lanarkshire and Glasgow to the Ayrshire coast and beyond — bringing the same level of care and craft to every image, whether it's a sweeping landscape or a quiet bridal portrait like this one.
If you're planning a wedding at The Radstone, or anywhere else in Scotland, I'd love to hear from you.
