Claire & Richard’s Wedding, Duddingston Kirk, followed by The Scotsman Hotel, Edinburgh



There is something very wonderful about winter weddings and every November we remember just how special they are and how much we love them.

 

Claire and Richard’s wedding was so so well styled and planned that it just all came together beautifully. We adored Claire’s look… with her stunning dress designed by Mette from Freja Fashion and her gorgeous fascinator from Joyce Paton. Claire you wowed everyone… Richard – you looked pretty hot too!

 

Claire and Richard we were really stoked to be part of your wedding and we loved your approach to your photography. It just made us smile – again and again…Thanks for being so fab to work with – we had so much fun! It’s so obvious how perfectly you two fit together.

 

Hope you’re having an amazing time on honeymoon. Just wait ’til you get back to the temperatures of Edinburgh. We’re guessing it’s a notch or two chillier than the Maldives?!

 

Here our some of our highlights. Looking forward to catching up soon,

Claire has such attention to detail… even down to personalising the stem of her bouquet. Loved it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Niels was catching-up with the boys at the other side of town and they even managed to drop into the iconic Sheep Heid Inn before arriving at Duddingston Kirk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Scotsman Hotel was a lovely cosy retreat as the daylight began to fade and all the candles and details Claire had planned worked so well. The atmosphere was spot on.

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.
