Mr and Mrs Chris Porter… just typing that makes us grin from ear-to-ear.
Being a part of your wedding celebrations has been a total joy from the first time we met you. We loved how you created your day and how much thought you put into it all… and how much trust you placed in us. Being a wedding photographer is an incredible privilege, but even more so, being involved intimately in two families lives is such a special thing. Thank you for letting us be a part of your day.
You had so many personal touches throughout it – from your lush wedding cake made by your friend Liggy’s Cakes through to your pals in the rocking band Kilter – the ballroom was seriously jumping…
Most of all thank you for being so ace to be with – it felt as though we were hanging out with friends from beginning to end.
We had the added bonus of having the top team of Jennifer at Hopetoun House and the boys from Cherry Tree Films on board.
We’ve struggled to create ‘highlights’ only as there were so many, but here’s a taste for now…
Megan, a friend of Christina’s, created a beautiful illustration of her dress for her. So personal and special. Check out her bridal illustrations website for more of her work.
And then Niels caught up with Chris and the boys at Hopetoun…
It was so exciting to see how all the details came together. Christina trusted Planet Flowers 110% to ‘do their thing’ and what an awesome job they did.
Emma you were a star!
The rain of the morning cleared, which gave us the chance for Christina to don her wedding wellies so we could head out towards the fountain at the back of Hopetoun.
All the details, from the wedding cake by Liggy’s through to the teacups (by friends of this fab pair who clearly are very popular!!!) worked so well alongside Planet Flowers’ styling. The ballroom at Hopetoun looked chic.
Dundas Castle was dressed to impress for Sukanya and Mark’s wedding. But even more than that this pair brought the party. Their family and friends were genuine, kind and absolutely hilarious. From impromptu karaoke to dancing during the drinks reception, everyone threw themselves into the celebration.
Vibrant, energetic and unforgettable…. all words that perfectly sum up Tasmin and David’s Dundas Castle wedding. This pair literally throw themselves into life and their wedding day was exactly the same. We love how they did things their way – including having flower grannies over flower girls. Genius!
The Balmoral Hotel’s afternoon teas are legendary, so what better way to celebrate your wedding than with an iconic afternoon tea with all your guests? Especially when everyone’s flown in from North America. Nora and Chris took it a step further and involved their guests in conducting the ceremony. Their guests acted as celebrant. It was perfect and so intimate and one or two tears were shed along the way.
Beautiful wedding Niels and Alie – and fab flowers as always (Planet!) xx
