Real Life Wedding: The Balmoral Hotel


The Balmoral Hotel is the perfect spot for an Edinburgh city centre wedding. With views like that (and dreamy sunsets) you literally feel you’re on top of  the world. Being high above the iconic skyline as Edinburgh twinkled below felt like a real privilege.

Danielle and James’ wedding was a day of pure celebration and the love between family and friends was so evident throughout. From their walk down the aisle (which felt to them like floating on a cloud – isn’t that the best way to aisle-walk?) to their epic confetti line, these two enjoyed every single minute of their wedding.

Perfect day is really the only description for this magical autumn wedding that fits. It felt like all of the guests were really present in the moment and determined to have a good time. Exactly as it should be.

Danielle and James it was a real treat for us to be your wedding photographers. Thank you for letting us tell your story and for being such geniunely lovely humans.

We’re so excited to share all of your photographs with you…

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle


14 October 2023

Thinking back to our first meeting with Katie and David (which was also at Dundas Castle) one of the things we loved most about this pair was how much they laughed and smiled together. And it was exactly the same on their wedding day… from walking through their avalanche of confetti to holding tight to each other on the top of a very windy roof of Dundas, these two are for each other. Every step of the way.
