Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle


Dundas Castle is literally the perfect spot for a Christmas Wedding. As soon as you walk in the door you’re welcomed by the smells of winter: fires, wood and pine. And then you catch a glimpse of the Christmas tree and stockings by the fire and you just want to find a cosy corner and snuggle there for the rest of the day.

Those were the vibes of Steph and Gav’s wedding… combined with distinct 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.

S&G thanks for letting us be part of your wedding world. From the first time we met you (and your gorgeous girls) we knew yours was going to be a special day. It’s so hard for us to pick highlights (from your ceremony overlooking grounds of the Castle to your dancing in the hall, and of course your incredible party at night – even the floor was bouncing  thanks to DJ Jonny… it was all epic)

We ‘re in awe of energy and love that you, your family and friends put into the day and how you two literally went with the flow. If you two keep doing that (which we’ve no doubt you will) we know your marriage is going to be just as fantastic and filled with many wonderful adventures.

Enjoy some highlights. Can’t wait to catch-up soon,

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

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.

Real Life Wedding: St Michael’s Linlithgow, followed by Dundas Castle


27 September 2025

From our very first meeting with Catherine and Alex, when they told us about their Dundas Castle wedding, we were grinning from ear to ear. These two are warm, easy going and love each other to bits. The way they speak about their family and friends made it clear that this wedding was going to be a blast from beginning to end.
