The best first date ever


Connor & Michael

Real Life Wedding: The Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh


Connor and Michael’s Balmoral Hotel was drenched in so much love and cherry blossom it was literally like a dream come true. Top that off with the most brilliant group of family and friends and of course the dog of the day Cookie and it was magic through and through.

It was a day brimming with personal touches  – all put together by a couple who clearly invest a lot of time with their friends and family.

Weddings like this are the kind we live for. They’re not about show or drama – just all about love and the people that matter. Thank you Connor and Michael for being our kind of people. You two are going to boss married life. Although Cookie (and the cats) will still be in charge.

Cannot wait to see your wedding album come together – it’s going to be incredible!

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

Real Life Wedding: Melville Castle


11 April 2026

Melville Castle has always had a special place in our hearts as it’s one of the first castles we ever photographed a wedding at. Combine that with one of the most incredible couples and you have the stuff of unstoppable wedding magic. Megan and Jonathan’s story is one of long-lasting friendship followed by falling in love. As they’ve grown up together they are a pair steeped in love and support for each other and that is so evident to anyone who knows them.

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.
