Tiara, veil and pearls — a classic bridal portrait made in the bridal suite at Fairfield House Hotel in Ayr, minutes before she left for the ceremony.
There's a reason I always make time for one proper portrait of the bride on her own. Every other photograph of the day has someone else in it, and years later this is the one her family will want framed. It takes about ninety seconds: find the window light, turn her shoulders slightly away, bring her eyes back to me, and wait for the real smile rather than the polite one.
The tartan behind her is the Fairfield's own — a small thing, but it roots the photograph in this hotel and this part of Ayrshire rather than being a portrait that could have been taken anywhere.
