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.
Hopetoun House is magical pretty much most days. But the day of Nic and Oli’s wedding it seemed to have an extra layer of something. Perhaps it was the weather (impeccably behaved for once), or the sweet sound of laughter on the breeze, or just the general vibe of all things extraordinarily perfect…
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.
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?
Beautiful wedding Niels and Alie – and fab flowers as always (Planet!) xx
