House for an Art Lover Wedding Photography
Nestled within the lush surroundings of Glasgow's Bellahouston Park, House for an Art Lover stands as a captivating venue inspired by the visionary designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This extraordinary and unique location seamlessly integrates an art gallery, exhibition space, versatile event venue, inviting café, and multipurpose artists' studios, creating a harmonious blend of cultural richness and artistic allure.
Hey! I'm Karen! I'm a wedding photographer based in Glasgow and I specialise in natural, unobtrusive coverage of relaxed and informal weddings. I team this documentary coverage with as many group photos as you'd like with your friends and family, and a few creative portraits that will make the most of the light and the details of your chosen wedding venue. Every package includes a planning meeting and venue visit so that I can personalise your coverage to be the best fit for you and your unique wedding day.
Originally envisioned by Mackintosh as a refined country retreat for individuals of discerning taste and cultural appreciation, House for an Art Lover has evolved over the past 110 years into a beacon of creativity and artistic exploration. Today, it serves as a testament to Mackintosh's enduring legacy and commitment to stimulating public interest in art, design, and architecture.
What makes House for an Art Lover an exceptional choice for a wedding venue is not only its historical significance but also its commitment to inclusivity and education. The venue goes beyond its initial purpose by offering a diverse range of programs, including exhibitions, scholarships, and learning opportunities for individuals of all ages. This expansion of Mackintosh's original vision transforms House for an Art Lover into a welcoming space for everyone, making it an ideal setting for the celebration of love and union.
Whether exchanging vows surrounded by the exquisite artistry displayed in the gallery, hosting a reception in the versatile event space, or enjoying the serene beauty of Bellahouston Park, you'll find House for an Art Lover to be a truly unique and inspiring backdrop for your special day. In this venue, the rich tapestry of art and culture intertwines with the joyous celebration of love, creating an unforgettable wedding experience for you and your guests.
5 Reasons to Choose House for an Art Lover for Your Wedding
You can spend your whole wedding day there! Rather than have you and your guests travelling between the ceremony and reception venues, spending your whole day in one place makes for a more relaxed and leisurely day.
The wedding ceremony space can be adapted to suit the size of your wedding. I've photographed micro weddings here, as well as weddings with over 100 people, and the space felt just right for each due to the way it had been configured.
The outdoor space. There's so much lush greenery surrounding the wedding venue. I typically photograph wedding groups in the grass area overlooked by House for an Art Lover, and this is a great spot for portraits too, but there's also colourful flower beds, a victorian walled garden, and a pretty tree lined walkway. You'll be spoiled for choice for couple portrait locations on your wedding day.
The location. Only 15 minutes from Glasgow city centre and easily accessed by motorway networks, there's easy access for guests regardless of where they're travelling from. There's also plenty of parking and having photographed weddings during large events, access to the park is maintained ensuring no last minute parking problems regardless of what else is happening in the surrounding area.
The art. The backdrop to your photos is truly unique and will be filled with lots of details of this special historical space. Whether that's during speech photos in the stunning music room, or during your wedding ceremony in the main hall/dining room, you're photos will feature the artwork of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
