One sunny day in January


Sarah & Nicholas

Real Life Wedding: City Chambers, followed by The Balmoral Hotel


One sunny day in the middle of January, just before noon, we met Sarah and Nicholas outside Edinburgh’s City Chambers.

There’s something super special about being photographers and witnesses. And for these two it was a delight. They make a top pair and we loved being with them as they said I do.

Thank you both for letting us join you on your wedding day. You were lovely to hang out with and you brought all the happy sunny vibes with you to Edinburgh. You need to come back soon.

Here’s some highlights for you,

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

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.
