Disco Pride: A Gay Three-Day Buddhist Wedding
Joining Fern Photography on an unforgettable adventure to Perthshire, Scotland, we’re thrilled to share the love-filled story of Lou and Ellis Beardsmore’s gay Buddhist wedding. As founders of Pride Outside CIC, these power couple are dedicated to creating a world where LGBTQ+ individuals feel safe and valued. With their mission aligning perfectly with Fern Photography’s commitment to inclusivity and individuality, this union was meant to be.
Before the big day, Dan and Matt of Fern Photography captured the essence of Lou and Ellis during a pre-ceremony shoot. This special session allowed the couple to relax in each other’s company, getting comfortable with being photographed. The result is a series of natural, candid portraits that showcase the love and connection between these two amazing humans. Fast forward to the wedding day, which unfolded like a three-day festival of vibrancy, cheer, and outdoor joy.
As photographers, our goal was to create a comprehensive timeline that ensured we captured every important moment, from laughter to tears, with authenticity and emotion. We didn’t just want to capture the events – we wanted the images to feel like personal memories, not just a photographer’s interpretation. The ceremony took place at Comrie Croft, a stunning 200-year-old farmstead nestled in the Scottish Highlands.
This picturesque setting provided the perfect backdrop for Lou and Ellis’s special day, with its rolling fields, woods, and eco-camping facilities for those looking to extend their celebration into an adventure-filled weekend.
