Newlyweds Hanna and Reid find the stunning coastal capital of Scotland - Shelter Island in New York, the USA to switch vows on 14th July 2018.
"Our simple vision ended up being to marry close to the water on the sultry summer's night under twinkle lights with seafood and beer! We simply wanted it to seem like a great summer party!"
"Whilst becoming an adult, both Reid and I worked summer jobs around the water, I like a lifeguard and Reid like a water taxi captain, however, we didn't meet until soon after finishing university. We were created by mutual friends in the island's local dive bar, danced towards the Grateful Dead cover band, and not looked back!"
"We dated for 10 years, partially long-distance, whilst I was in the school of medicine, before getting engaged whilst on the hiking trip with friends in Norway. Reid had planned to propose at the end of the 17-mile long uphill snow-shoeing trek to some beautiful fjord vista, which sounded great."
"In retrospect, it had been hilarious and perfect, and also the memory from the exhausting hike improves as time passes! We were engaged approximately a year before the wedding."
The bride accessorized her dress having a simple cathedral-length veil with lace trim and Hortense clean, along with a pair of blue strappy shoes.
Hanna's simply beautiful short sleeve dress easily fit in perfectly using the natural surrounding beauty.
"I wasn't a girl who was raised dreaming about her wedding or dress then when we became engaged, virtually every aspect of the planning process seemed very daunting. I have an easy, everyday style and knew I desired to feel comfortable and never like I was dressed as another person."
"I didn't hesitate! After one appointment I find the dress. It was simple, elegant, just a little nostalgic, and more importantly, allowed me to seem like the best version of myself."
"We had two adorable flower girls; our one-year-old niece Beatrice, and my cousin's 6-year-old daughter Molly, whose mother have been my parent's flower girl once they got married! They both wore their very own simple white tulle flower girl dresses with matching sage ribbon sash and gypsophila flower crowns."
"Each of my bridesmaids chose their very own dress inside a shade of green, allowing all of their personalities to become represented in color and elegance."
"We loved that aesthetic variety to have an outdoor summer wedding, flowing with sage, mint, and emerald shades. I also gifted all of them a simple set of opal stud earrings."
"For the ceremony, Reid and I married at Our Lady from the Isle Church inside a Catholic ceremony conducted through the parish priest. My father walked me on the aisle to Morning Has Broken. We're both uncomfortable being the center of attention therefore it was reassuring to possess each other there to understand as support."
Following the ceremony, guests were transported in the church towards the reception inside a trolley, hired. As their guests were remaining in homes and bed & breakfasts scattered all around the island, the trollies were also accustomed to hitching rides home at the end of the night.
"My favorite part in our wedding only agreed to be being encompassed by our family and friends the entire weekend. We constantly felt bathed in love and support from so many areas of our life all coming together within the same place – how amazing is the fact that!"
