Philippa & Tom

Real Life Wedding: Canongate Kirk, followed by Barnbougle Castle


There are not enough words to describe how much fun this Barnbougle Castle wedding was. For anyone that knows Philippa and Tom they know that these two are the perfect match and they know how to party. Scroll down for a look at the dancefloor of dancefloors.

From the outset we knew this was going to be a wedding filled with lots of love, personal touches and one or two animals ???? ????

And that was before we knew about the smoke bombs on Calton Hill… (which team bride also did in the rain – impressive stuff)

Phillipa and Tom thank you so much for picking us to be your wedding photographers. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat – just name the date.

For now, here’s a teaser… can’t wait to share them all with you. Be warned  – we love all of your photographs as we had a lot of fodder to work with!

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

 

"One of our favourite moments of the day was walking into dinner and everyone waving their napkins above their head."

Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle


01 November 2025

Drumtochty Castle weddings in autumn are simply magical. Andrea and Mike planned theirs to perfection – with the sage greens and golds and oranges of the flowers creating a warmth within the castle as well as outwith.
Getting to know these two as been a lot of fun. They make a top team and have a similar wonderful sense of humour. Highlights from their day include Andrea’s walk down the aisle, the emotional readings,  the quaich ceremony (led by Uncle John), the speeches (Andrea’s killer line announcing “Mike I have made you a better person” had the room in stitches). And of course the most brilliant first dance.

Real Life Wedding: Mansfield Traquair


18 October 2025

Laura and Calum’s wedding was always going to be a day filled with smiles a-plenty and the kind of party atmosphere that fills Mansfield to its rooftops. It was such a privilege to photograph this wedding as it feels like we’ve known Laura forever and meeting Calum and little Rae has been a delight.

Words these two would use to sum up their wedding are sentimental, sincere and silly… it was a day jam-packed with friends, family, fun and a wee dram or two of  Fluffylump.

Real Life Wedding: Royal College of Physicians


04 October 2025

The Royal College of Physicians is a little piece of wedding magic right in the heart of Edinburgh City Centre.  For Isla and Patrick it was nothing short of perfect.

It’s a known fact that they are besotted with each other. In the best kind of way which means they look out for each other and take the time to check-in (even on the wedding morning) But also they include all of their family and friends which makes everyone love them more  Their vows were the most beautiful vows we have ever heard, but then they are both exceptionally gifted with words so we should have expected nothing less.
