Real Life Scottish wedding: The Canongate Kirk and The Signet Library, Edinburgh


Camilla & Tim

Caledonia you’re calling me


Some weddings you just know are going to come together utterly perfectly. From the first conversation with Jennifer (aka wedding planner and first-rate Mother of the Bride), through to hanging out Camilla and Tim, as though we’d known them years,  it was so obvious that this wedding was all about lavishing love on much-cherished friends and family.

Yes it was a wedding filled with love and legacy… but importantly it was also an epic party with the most incredible bunch of buddies (check out that dancefloor at the Signet Library) .

Logistically,  Camilla and Tim’s wedding day also happened to also be the day in which half of Scotland descended on Edinburgh for various reasons (a Remain in the EU March, an Experience Krakow Festival and road closures caused by filming of Fast and Furious in Edinburgh to name but a few events). Some couples would freak about this but not these two, who quite naturally took it all in their stride.

Camilla and Tim we loved everything about your day… your styling was gloriously stylish and the fact your wedding was was bathed in perfect Edinburgh autumn sunshine made it all the more magical. We couldn’t think of a more perfect way to begin married life…

Thank you for letting us tell your wedding story.

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels and Ditte! xxx

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.
