Charlotte and Will

A glorious, sunny Spring day in the heart of the Lake District with Charlotte and Will. C & W’s wonderful celebrations at The Barn in the Fells were brimming with colour, charm and personality, with endless highlights throughout the day. A morning dip in Lake Grasmere, incredible flowers and styling by The Floralistas, fabulous outfits - especially Charlotte’s beautiful Prea James dress, a magical ceremony with wonderful music and readings, and a truly magnificent feast by the amazing team from Riley’s Fish Shack, I could really go on and on! This was without a doubt one of my all time favourite weddings, I hope you enjoy looking through the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Juliet and Edward

Juliet & Edward tied the knot at the beautiful Traquair House in the Scottish Borders surrounded by all the closest family and friends. There was so much to love about this day, from Juliet’s amazing vintage wedding dress (which was hand sewn by her lovely Mum), The Beatles singalong during the ceremony, right through to the magical piano led evening reception, it was a day brimming with wonderful moments.

Claire and Pete

I had so much fun spending the day with Claire & Pete and all their lovely family and friends at their wonderful wedding at The Free Company. A day jam packed with magical moments and gorgeous autumnal styling, it really was a joy to photograph. I must say bravo to Flowers Vermilion for creating yet another jaw-dropppingly beautiful bouquet which was abaslute perfection alongside Claire’s gorgoues linen wedding dress from & For Love Bridal.

Andrea and Steven

I still can’t get over how wonderful Andrea & Steven’s autumnal wedding celebrations at Guardswell Farm were last October, what a day! The wild weather certainly didn’t dampen any spirits here, with A & S and all their lovely guests having a fabulous time, enjoying every second of the day in Guardswell’s many magical spaces. I must give Gloam a special mention for creating the most amazing bouquets, buttonholes and floral installations, as well as all the beautiful styling which complimented the atmosphere and feel of the day perfectly.

Lisa and Edward

Lisa & Edward had a wonderful early autumn wedding surrounded by all their lovely family and friends at the always amazing Cambo Estate. These two had planned their whole day to perfection, and it was so special seeing them enjoying every moment with the biggest smiles. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot a few wedding with Flowers Vermilion, and the beautiful florals and hanging installations were spectacular as ever. Can’t wait to be back at Cambo for more wedding celebrations this year, it’s always such a treat shooting there.

Rebecca and Andy

It was so lovely being back at the wonderful Ballintaggart Farm (one of my all time favourtie venues!) for Rebecca and Andy’s wedding celebrations. In amongst all the wild weather there were so many magical moments, and it was an absolute joy seeing these two tie the knot surrounded by all their nearest and dearest. Big shout out to the amazing Verbena Flowers for all the fabulous blooms, the flower cloud over the dining table was particularly spectacular!

Mikki and Guy

I was back home in sunny North Yorkshire for Mikki & Guy’s fabulous summer wedding in July last year, and am still reminiscing over how incredible it all was. M & G stamped their wonderful personalities all over the whole day, and brought so much energy and happiness to proceedings that it was impossible not to be smiling from ear to ear. There were so many highlights and magical moments throughout the day, but I absolutely loved venturing into the neighbouring filed with the whole bridal party and a load of smoke bombs (it was as chaotic as it sounds!). Hope you all enjoy looking through their wonderful day as much as I did capturing it.

Mikaela and Mark

I’m finally finding a wee bit of time to share some of the wonderful weddings I shot last year. Here’s a few favourites from Mikaela & Mark’s fabulous celebrations at the incredible Monachyle Mhor tucked away in the hills above Loch Voil. A day full of love, laughter and colour in one of the most magical settings I’ve ever photographed. Big shout out as ever to the insanely talented Flowers Vermilion who created the most amazing bouquet, buttonholes and hanging installations, all of which were bursting with colour and personality.

Kirsty and Rob

I had the best time capturing Kirsty & Rob’s amazing wedding celebrations at the fabulous Free Company on the outskirts of Edinburgh back in June. I’d been looking forward to their day from the first time we’d chatted, and it exceeded every expectation I had, it was truly magical. There were so many wonderful moments throughout the dat, and it was so lovely seeing K & R and all their family and friends enjoying the glorious weather in the most beautiful setting. I must give Fruit Salad Flowers a mention for creating the most incredible bouquets and floral displays, the colour pops throughout the venue elevated the already fabulous spaces into something super special.

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!

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!
