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: Portland Parish Church Troon, followed by the Lochgreen House Hotel


25 April 2025

Wedding days are always unique and special, but for us Kirsty and Andy’s holds a special place in our hearts… we’ve known Kirsty for what feels like forever and we knew this was going to be a day filled with so much love and heart. It was that and more so.. This pair and their family and friends had the best day. One of Kirsty (and her Dad’s) favourite moments was the aisle walk in the church. It’s one of those memories that will also stay with us forever. Talk about epic entrance – the goosebumps were real.

Real Life Wedding: Signet Library


14 December 2024

A Christmas wedding at the Signet Library is the stuff dreams are made of. Especially when Planet Flowers added their festive finesse, crafting tables bedecked with Christmas-clad candelabras, brilliant book baubles, and gilded tomes as table names. The table plan, piled high with oversized books and quills, was nothing short of storybook perfection.
