Blánaid & Rory


Living and running a photography studio in the busy city that is Edinburgh, I sometimes forget that it’s a city that changes peoples lives.

People arrive as individuals and leave as husband and wife and as wedding photographers, we’re honoured to to be a small part of this journey.

Edinburgh means lots to Blánaid and Rory – it’s not only where they were engaged but also married…

The memories that will long stay with me from your wedding: the music that filled the day (from singing Whitney in your suite at the Balmoral to the oh so chic music by Spectrum); your wonderful parents with nearly 90 years of marriage between them (that deserves respect!) and the warmth of you all.

Blánaid and Rory thank you for allowing me to be part of your story.

Here’s to your city of Edinburgh; to you as you begin this new journey together and to many more return visits as husband and wife back in the years ahead.

Big Blue Sky love,

Niels (and Alie) x

A Christmas wedding at the Signet Library is the stuff dreams are made of. Especially when Planet Flowers added their festive finesse, crafting tables bedecked with Christmas-clad candelabras, brilliant book baubles, and gilded tomes as table names. The table plan, piled high with oversized books and quills, was nothing short of storybook perfection.

Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle


07 December 2024

The vibes of Steph and Gav’s Dundas Castle Christmas wedding were distinctly winter snuggles combined with overtones of party (Solo Sax anyone) and of course some festive treats. This pair met at a Burns’ Supper so Roddy the Piper delivering the Address to the Haggis was a must.

Is there anything more perfect than an intimate Balmoral Hotel wedding at Christmas time? All of your favourites together in the heart of Edinburgh watching you tie the knot… and then celebrating together with the best of food and wine, and a tune or two along the way…
