Emily and Euan

For those of you who may have only stumbled across my work recently, you’ll very soon realise I have a mild obsession with Cambo Estate! I could quite happily shoot weddings here every week, it’s the dreamiest venue. Not only does it have endless locations for photos, the house itself has a magical charm that’s unique to anywhere else I’ve been in Scotland. I was therefore delighted when Emily & Euan asked me along to capture their wedding celebrations earlier this year, and even more so when they told me what they had in mind for the day. The amount of time, effort and planning they put into the day was there for everyone to see, and I was genuinely blown away by the attention to detail and beautiful styling. I’m always super excited when I see Myrtle & Bracken on a suppliers list, and needless to say Di didn’t let me down, creating the most gorgeous floral installations throughout the house and gardens. Not to be outdone by the flowers and the setting Emily looked stunning in her fabulous Monique Lhuillier dress, and even had a costume change for the evening, switching to an amazing Hom Bridal dress for the dancing. I could honestly wax lyrical about this wedding for days, but it’s probably best I let the pictures do the talking!

Jacqui and Jez

On a glorious spring day in April I headed to the always fabulous Guardswell Farm in Perthshire. Jacqui & Jez had to wait an extra year to celebrate with all their family and friends, and they did so in some style! I’d been looking forward to their wedding from the minute they booked me, and it lived up to every expectation I had. From the wonderful ceremony in the granary right through to the incredible music and dancing in the evening, it had it all. A truly magical day full of charm and character, a real cracker of a wedding! I must give Nova Botanics a special mention for their gorgeous flowers and styling, the whole place looked amazing.

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!

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!
