Prudence and Luke

It’s been a wee while since I’ve shared anything on my blog, but what better way to mark my return than Prudence & Luke’s magical wedding at the spectacular Ardverikie House in the Scottish Highlands. The day was full of wonderful moments and oodles of charm and character. From the morning dip in the loch, right through to Luke taking the stage to serenade Prudence at the end of the night, it had it all! I must give a shout out to all the amazing suppliers who made the day even more incredible, you’re all superstars.

Nadine and Andy

On a gorgeous Summer’s day in July I made my way over to the East Coast for Nadine & Andy’s wedding celebrations at my home from home - the always amazing Cambo Estate. I had the most wonderful time hanging out with these two, their sense of fun and beaming smiles really were infectious, and the day was an absolute joy from beginning to end. It was lovely seeing a few industry pals too, with everyone pulling out all the stops to create the most magical occasion.

Kirsty and Liam

Kirsty & Liam tied the knot at the Magical Chateau Rigaud in the French countryside surrounded by vineyards and sunshine, and needless to say it was incredible. There were endless moments of joy and laughter throughout the day, from arriving at the reception in an open top Citroën 2CV (doesn’t get much more French than that right!), to the fabulous firework display lighting up the night sky, it literally had everything. If you’re planning a European wedding in the sun do get in touch, I’d love to capture your celebrations.

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! 

Victoria and Sweyn

Victoria & Sweyn’s amazing day at the fabulous Cow Shed in Crail had everything I love about weddings all rolled into one! After a lovely morning getting ready and supping super strong G&T’s (not me obviously!), I headed down to the gorgeous wee harbour in Crail to capture Victoria & Sweyn’s “first look”. Witnessing the moment they saw each other in their incredible outfits was so special, and the perfect start to the most magical of days. A wonderful, laughter filled ceremony, set against a backdrop of amazing floral creations by Wild Flower Workshop was followed by an epic feast and some hilarious speeches! The day was topped off in true Scottish style with a rabble rousing ceilidh, and a rather unusual Orcadian tradition know as the “Orcadian Cog”. This is basically a big wooden bowl full to the brim with hot booze, which is passed round from guest to guest. What could possibly go wrong…?!

It was such a treat to work with so many awesome suppliers on this wedding. If you’re on the look out for some super talented wedding creatives for your big day, you won’t go far wrong with this lovely lot!

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
