Windswept and wonderful


Carly & Andrew

Real Life Wedding: Cairns Farm


Cairns Farm Estate sits just outside Edinburgh, yet feels like it’s a million miles away from the city.

The day of Carly and Andrew’s wedding was jam-packed with energy and love. It was the kind of day where the wind is in charge and you just have to go with it. These two are the ultimate go-with-the-flow kind of people and everyone loves them for it.

Carly and Andrew thank you for embracing everything that your wedding day brought and for going where the wind took you. I don’t think either of you stopped smiling all day. A huge highlight for you two (and I think everyone else in the room) was the aisle walk – first with little Darcey and then Carly and Dad. We love your description of your wedding as a beautiful family party as it was that and then some. Your family and friends were a delight to be around and Aunty Linda can join our photography team any day.

Enjoy highlights of your wonderfully windswept and effortlessly perfect wedding day.

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

Cairns Farm Weddings

By the time you arrive at Cairns Farm Estate you’ll already feel like you’ve left the cares and buzz of the city far behind. Nestled into the foot of the Pentalnds, surrounded by water and forest, it feels remote in all the best ways.

We love that you can hold your whole wedding here  – from ceremony to dancing – and there is so much space you can fit all your friends and family in.

An added bonus has to be the proximity to sheep and highland cattle, visible from the picture windows on all sides of the barn.

We reckon this is the barn venue that Edinburgh was in need of and is everything you would hope it would be.

Real Life Wedding: Dunglass Estate


06 April 2024

Alex and Molly are the kind of people who embrace life and all it throws at them. Including what we can only be described as the windiest wedding I think we’ve ever been at (think winds of 50 mph – enough to take out huge stone planters) And the result was a wedding day that was even more magical that anyone could have imagined.

Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle


03 April 2024

Their spring wedding was beautiful in spite of the rain (think one of the wettest days ever). Actually it was a little more beautiful because of the rain. As family and friends dashed for cover under mutlicloured brollies there were smile, giggles and lot of togetherness. And what could be better than cosying up in Drumtochty Castle as the wood burners crackle?

Real Life Wedding: Signet Library

As Joe and Elias greeted us (with bear hugs rather than hand shakes) we knew they were our kind of people. The kind of people who make life about the people around them rather than the stuff they have; the kind of people who appreciate the little things; the kind of people who value love. Yup we’d hang out with these two any day of the week.
