Chasing the Sunset
Laura & Grant
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
We were so delighted to be back at Drumtochty Castle for a real life wedding. And what better wedding to be photographing that this pair?
It helps that Laura and Grant picked the best date to get married. The very same date Niels and I picked a few… ahem… years ago.
Add into the mix that we are already completely smitten by most of Grant’s family (cutest flower girl ever alert) and that Laura’s family are every bit as lovely. And yes we were in wedding heaven. That’s also before we’ve mentioned Camper Vans, Dexter Dog cameos and wheelchair races with Gran…
Thank you Laura and Grant for being so wonderfully you and for being up for hiking through forests and chasing sunsets. We’ll always be grateful that we got to tell your wedding story.
Can’t wait to share all with you soon.
#BigBlueSkyLove,
Alie & Niels xx

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.
