Wedding dress train bay window Marine Troon

You spend months finding the dress, so it deserves a photograph like this. The bay windows at Marine Troon give beautiful soft light, and with the train spread out, the whole back of the gown gets its moment. Brides often forget to ask for a picture of the back of the dress — the buttons, the lace, the shape of the train — and it's usually where half the detail lives. I build a few quiet minutes into the morning for shots like this. It takes no effort from you at all. Stand at the window, look out to sea, and I'll do the rest.
