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

More real life weddings
Real Life Wedding: Melville Castle
Melville Castle has always had a special place in our hearts as it’s one of the first castles we ever photographed a wedding at. Combine that with one of the most incredible couples and you have the stuff of unstoppable wedding magic. Megan and Jonathan’s story is one of long-lasting friendship followed by falling in love. As they’ve grown up together they are a pair steeped in love and support for each other and that is so evident to anyone who knows them.
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
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
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.
