Claire and Calum

What a treat it was being back at my all time favourite spot Cambo Estate for Claire & Calum’s fabulous wedding celebrations. The whole day was brimming with love and laughter, with the most gorgeous styling and autumnal colours complimenting all of Cambo’s beautiful spaces. There were so many highlights throughout the day, but my favourites have to be the icy cold dip in the sea (not me obviously!), the epic confetti throw (future couples take note, this stuff is incredible!), the amazing flowers and arrangements by the super talented Flowers Vermillion, and perhaps best of all, cutting about the estate in a golf buggy to make sure we made the most of the dry weather window! This certainly was a day to remember, thanks so much for having me along guys, I had a ball!

Chloe and Laurens

I was back at one of my all time favourite spots, the Cow Shed in Crail for Chloe & Laurens’ amazing wedding celebrations, and what a day it was!

I’ve loved all the wonderful first looks I’ve shot down at the harbour in Crail, and this one was just as special. Chloe walked down arm in arm with her Mum, and was presented with her gorgeous bouquet by Laurens (a really lovely Dutch tradition which I’d not come across before). After a wander round the harbour for a few photos we headed back up the road for a wonderful, intimate ceremony in the new Roundal at the Cow Shed, a beautiful space which was looking super cosy with the fire lit in the background. A fabulous afternoon of music (provided by the incredible Rusty’s Travelling Piano Bar), food and drinks ensued, with the day topped off with the some top notch speeches and a Pulp Fiction inspired first dance. All in all a magical day with a cracking bunch of folk!

Eleanor and Louis

Eleanor & Louis’ wedding extravaganza in Glasgow’s West End was without a doubt one of my highlights of 2021! I knew as soon as I read their enquiry that the day was going to be amazing, and needless to say it very much lived up to expectations. After the most beautiful ceremony in the magnificent Wellington Church, which was decorated to perfection by Ruby Flowers, we headed back to Louis’ wonderful family home for the most incredible reception. I can’t skip any further without mentioning their fabulous wedding wheels…. I’m not usually one for wedding cars but their Citroën 2cv along with amazing handmade Just Married sign was a total dream! Anyway…back to the reception! After marvelling at the all wonderful artwork and sampling a few Delizique delights, we were treated to some superb speeches, including a hilarious and heartfelt video message all the way from Canada from Louis’ best pal. The day was topped off perfectly with everyone following the piper through Kelvingrove Park down to Stravaigin for dinner, drinks and plenty of partying I’m sure!

Sarah and Matt

It was so lovely being back at one of my favourite old haunts Colstoun House for Sarah & Matt’s gorgeous summer wedding celebrations. Sarah looked stunning in her beautiful Halfpenny dress which worked perfectly alongside the pastel pink bridesmaids dresses and fabulous summery bouquets by the always amazing Feathergrass Florals. I must give an honourable mention to Matt and his groomsmen, who all looked rather dapper in the super sharp suits! After a lovely relaxed morning getting ready and drinking a glass or two of champagne, it was time for the main event, the most wonderful outdoor ceremony on the lawn where I happened to witness one of my all time favourite wedding moments…. Being a huge dog fan I’m always delighted to see a dog charging around on the morning of a wedding day, and I was even happier to hear that Sarah & Matt’s gorgeous Labrador Molly was going be acting as a ring bearer during the ceremony. Molly not only did the perfect job of delivering the rings, but then decided to act as a witness as well, sitting perfectly whilst Sarah & Matt exchanged their vows. It was always going to be hard to top that, but the confetti, champagne, canapés, amazing speeches and packed dance floor that followed came mighty close! This really was the most magical wedding day, thanks so much for inviting me along guys!

Harriet and Adam

This was my first time shooting at the fabulous Errol Park and what a day it was! Harriet & Adam’s wedding celebrations were so full of joy and laughter that it was impossible not to have a huge smile on your face all day long! Despite a rather drizzly start to the day, they decided to brave the elements and opted for an outdoor ceremony in a beautiful corner of the garden conducted by the amazing Gary the Humanist. Drinks, canapés and some hotly contested lawn games in the sunshine followed. It was then over to the wonderful converted stables for a cracking round of speeches, the most delicious wedding feast, and to round things off in true Scottish style, a rabble rousing ceilidh. The day had so many highlights, but capturing Harriet & Adam walking hand in hand underneath a rainbow was pure magic! Needless to say I’m super excited to be back at Errol for a wedding this summer, if it’s anything like this one I’m in for a treat.

Emily and Doug

Emily & Doug’s fabulous wedding day in the heart of Edinburgh was an absolute joy from beginning to end. After the most wonderful ceremony atop Calton Hill overlooking the city, it was time for music, drinks and some pretty epic group photos in the glorious summer sunshine. We then made our way to one of my all time favourite Edinburgh spots - Timberyard to carry on the celebrations. A cracking set of speeches in the courtyard was followed by an amazing five course dinner, with every course looking like a work of art. The day was finished off with a wander round the magical Grassmarket for some photos, then back to Timberyard to dance the night away! This really was the most wonderful day, and being there to capture Emily & Doug having the best time with their lovely family and friends was so special.

Annie and Tom

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to blog Annie & Tom’s incredible Glencoe elopement! With the ever changing rules around weddings Annie & Tom decided to adjust their plans and elope in the Scottish Highlands, and I for one am so happy they did! It’s not often you get a glorious sunny day in the middle of March in Scotland, so I was feeling a wee bit smug on my drive up to Glencoe! After a lovely relaxed morning getting ready followed by a wonderful first look overlooking Cuil Bay, we headed over to Glencoe Lochan - a magical spot in amongst the mountains and pine trees which Annie & Tom had chosen for their ceremony. It’s always such a treat working with Claire The Humanist as I know she’ll pull an amazing ceremony out the bag, and needless to say this was no exception. It was so lovely to hear a wee bit more about Annie & Tom from where they first met to where they are now, and Claire told their story perfectly. After the ceremony we enjoyed a piece of delicious homemade wedding cake and a glass of bubbly, and it was then off to explore Glencoe and take in all the breath taking scenery, which isn’t in short supply believe me! We then made our way back to Cuil Bay where we treated to a spectacular sunset. The perfect end to the most wonderful day. 

I must give a couple of shout outs, firstly to Barbara from Wild Flower Workshop for her green fingered wizardry, secondly to Annie & Tom’s gorgeous wee dog Cracker for being ridiculously adorable, and last but by no means least, Annie’s mum, who not only made their delicious wedding cake, but also Annie’s stunning dress! 

Melloney and Jeremy

Melloney & Jeremy’s amazing micro wedding in the heart of the Perthshire countryside had everything I love about weddings all rolled into one. Wonderful locations, incredible details (especially the gorgeous blooms by the super talented Studio Seapink), and above all, a lovely bunch of folk. After a magical hand-fasting ceremony on the banks of a misty Loch Tay we headed over to the magnificent Taymouth Castle for photos and Cornish pasties (a great choice of wedding day snack I’m sure you’ll all agree!). It was then onto the lovely wee church of St Columba’s in Dunkeld for a wonderful, intimate wedding ceremony. The day was topped off with a reception at my all time favourite spot - Ballintaggart Farm, where we managed to catch the last of the light for some magical photos before everyone tucked into what I’m sure was a delicious feast of culinary delights! A HUGE thank you to Melloney & Jeremy for inviting me along to be a part of their fabulous celebrations, I had the best day!

Megan and Josh

I honestly cannot sing Megan & Josh’s praises highly enough! Having had to adapt their wedding plans not once but three times, including a last minute change of day to avoid the torrential rain, they pulled off the most incredible day surrounded by their nearest and dearest in the spectacular setting of Braemar in the Cairngorms. After a wonderful first look in the morning we headed off to the hills above the River Dee to soak up the amazing views and autumn sunshine, before heading back for the most magical ceremony under a canopy of pine trees. The day was topped off with a piper led stroll into town followed by a fabulous reception at the equally fabulous Fife Arms. In a time when all our lives are filled with such uncertainty, with big wedding plans postponed or cancelled, it’s so wonderful to see folk like Megan & Josh thinking outside the box to have a wedding day like no other!

Ali and Jonny

Ali & Jonny - what an awesome pair! I had the most wonderful time capturing their fabulous wedding celebrations at one of the best venues around - Cambo House. The day was full to the brim with love, fun and laughter. From the epic Abba singalong during the ceremony to the funk and soul party courtesy of Nick Bruce and his Blinding Lights - it had it all! Throw in lots of gorgeous details (Ali’s beautiful Temperley dress and the stunning Myrtle & Bracken blooms in particular), a Dalmatian called Cilla, and a seriously lovely bunch of people, and you’ve got yourself the perfect wedding right there!

Sarah Jane and James

I knew from the moment these two got in touch about their wedding that it was going to be amazing, and boy oh boy, was it amazing! Working closely with some of Scotland’s finest wedding suppliers, Sarah Jane & James created a wee bit of magic on the Ayrshire coast, which was a total dream to photograph. From the truly stunning floral arrangements and bouquets by my all time favourite florist - Myrtle & Bracken to the gorgeous bespoke Flossy & Dossy dress, that Sarah Jane looked incredible in, the day was oozing with style and personality. After a wonderful ceremony in the camellia house in the grounds of Culzean Castle, we explored the walled gardens and took stroll on the beach before heading back up to Sarah Jane’s family home to carry on the celebrations. The day was topped off with a rabble rousing performance from their pals band, who’d reformed for one night only, and played an epic set of stone cold classics!

Big shout out to Gillian from Pin Up Hair Glasgow, Doug from Northern Aye Photography, who did a cracking job second shooting for me, and also Cue the Mustard (Videography) - you were all a total dream to work with!

Tegan and Conrad

My oh my, what a fabulous day this was! Tegan & Conrad travelled all the way from Canberra in Australia to tie the knot in the beautiful Perthshire countryside, and they couldn’t have picked a more magical place than Ballintaggrt Farm. Surrounded by rolling hills and stunning scenery Ballintaggart is a wee slice of Scottish paradise, and the perfect spot for a romantic elopement!

A lovely leisurely morning spent getting ready, along with a couple of glasses of bubbly and some delicious nibbles, was followed by a wonderful, intimate ceremony with the most spectacular views across the hills. The one thing I love about humanist ceremonies is you can personalise your ceremony however you wish. It was so lovely to hear Tegan & Conrad’s story, as well as a couple of lovely readings, which were beautifully read by their equally lovely pals - Lauren and Fazel. The ceremony ended in true Scottish style, with everyone (including me!) having a sip of Whiskey from the Quaich. A Scottish tradition I’m very much in favour of!

After a few snaps in the gorgeous surroundings, we headed down the road to the fabulous Grandtully Hotel for a couple of their signature cocktails. (It’s a times like this I wish I had a driver!) The day was topped off with what I’m sure was an epic feast of culinary delights, prepared by the amazingly talented Ballintaggart kitchen team.

Tegan & Conrad, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your wonderful wedding celebrations, I had the best time!

Dani and Etiénne

Dani & Etiénne invited me along to the beautiful Villa Ravano in the heart of the Tuscan countryside to capture their gorgeous wedding celebrations back in September. I had the most amazing weekend hanging out with the two of them and their lovely friends and family, and can honestly say I felt more like a guest than a photographer, everyone was so welcoming and down to earth. Dani & Etiénne’s warmth and sense of fun was evident throughout the whole day, from their wonderful, intimate ceremony right through to the wild, moonlit disco!

This truly was a weekend I’ll never forget, thank you so much for inviting me along guys! x

Anna and Tom

Anna & Tom’s fabulous wedding celebrations in the heart of the Shropshire countryside were an absolute blast from beginning to end! I think you’ll all agree that Anna looked incredible in her stunning Rolling in Roses dress, and I must say Tom scrubbed up rather nicely too!

After a wonderful, heartfelt ceremony in the Town Hall and a few snaps round the lovely streets of Bishop’s Castle, we all made our way over to Norbury Village Hall for the reception. Anna & Tom had worked wonders transforming the space into something quite magical, with beautifully decorated trestle tables stretching the length of hall, and greenery and flowers aplenty!

A cracking set of speeches and epic feast were followed by some hotly contested, aperol spritz fuelled lawn games - my personal favourite being splat the rat (took me right back to my primary school days!). The day was topped off in style with the superb King Brasstard’s (a 7-piece New Orleans brass band) providing the perfect soundtrack to dance the night away!

Thank you so much for inviting me along guys, I had a whale of a time!

Fiona and Alex

What a cracking day this was! Alex & Fiona’s wedding extravaganza at the fabulous Cow Shed in Crail had everything I love in a wedding - love, laughter, great people and plenty of colour! The gorgeous blooms by Floral Menagerie were something else, and brought a tropical, rainforest vibe to proceedings! I also loved all the wonderful furniture and knick knacks provided by the Frill Factory, which gave the space a lovely, homely feel and somewhere to put your feet up after dinner!

It was such a joy to see two such lovely people tie the knot, Alex & Fiona are such great people and certainly know how to throw a party!

I could honestly wax lyrical about how amazing this day was, but I’ll let the photos do the talking! Enjoy!

Sophie and Kyle

Sophie & Kyle’s amazing wedding in Edinburgh was such a treat to photograph! After the most wonderful ceremony at Summerhall, everyone made their way (beer and prosseco in hand!) across The Meadows to one of my all time favourite Edinburgh spots - The Timberyard, for their fabulous reception! The space was beautifully decorated with incredible DIY creations working perfectly alongside the Timberyard’s minimalist design. A cracking set of speeches (complete with superb props!) was followed by an amazing five course dinner, with every course looking like a work of art! The day was finished off with a wander round the Grassmarket in the evening sunshine, and dancing aplenty! A truly magical day! Thanks for having me along guys!

Kirsty and Rodolpho

Kirsty & Rodolpho’s wedding bonanza at the fabulous Comrie Croft was a real feast for the senses! With Kirsty being an amazing artist and coming from a family of street performers, along with Rodolpho’s Brazilian charm and musical talents I knew I was in for a treat, and they certainly didn’t disappoint! The barn was full of wonderful homemade creations, with my personal favourites being the Frida Kahlo cocktail bar and an enormous puppet called Stella who made a guest appearance in the afternoon! After the most magical ceremony in the woods above the croft conducted by no other than Kirsty’s amazing Dad - Mike, everyone headed back down to the courtyard for cocktails, speeches and plenty of samba vibes! The day was topped off with lots of raucous ceilidh dancing and the most amazing sunset, not a bad way to spend a Monday I must say!

Hannah and Josh

My oh my what a day this was! Hannah & Josh’s wonderful wedding in the beautiful surroundings of the Cairngorms was an absolute blast from beginning to end!

From the early morning dip in the loch, right through to Hannah & Josh taking the stage to perform a few rabble rousing ceilidh numbers, the day had absolutely everything! It’s honestly far too hard to put the whole day into words, so I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking on this one! Enjoy!

Again, a MAHOOSIVE shout out to all the amazing suppliers, you really outdid yourselves here!

Arden and Steven

Arden & Steven’s two day wedding extravaganza was beyond amazing! Organising a wedding is no easy task at the best of times, but managing to organise the whole lot from Tel Aviv is ridiculously impressive! The celebrations started with the most wonderful, intimate ceremony at the spectacular Garnethill Synagogue. A truly memorable occasion filled with love, laughter and lots of dancing! We started day two with a wander round Pollok Country Park and one of my favourite spots in Glasgow - the World Famous Barras Market! This was followed by another fabulous ceremony at The People’s Palace, with a wonderful blend Scottish and Jewish traditions (which I must say go hand in hand rather nicely!). Everyone then made their way over to West On The Green for the most spectacular reception. Natalie & Laura (Lemon Box Studios) along with Di from Myrtle & Bracken created a little bit of magic in dressing the room, putting together a Bauhaus inspired masterpiece! The party carried on long into the night, with some pretty impressive Jewish wedding dances thrown in for good measure! Arden & Steven thanks so so much for having me along, I had an absolute blast!
