The love-drenched wedding


Claire & Callum

Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle, Edinburgh


The wedding celebration of a lifetime only needs a few things: an amazing couple (Claire & Callum) an incredible wedding venue (Dundas Castle) and a brilliant bunch of family and friends (see below).

The wedding tale of this pair begins with a truly spectacular engagement story (quite possibly one of the best we’ve heard) and seamlessly navigates a global pandemic and ends in a glorious, love-drenched wedding party at Dundas Castle…

Family and friends lie at the heart of every single part of this party and to hang out with Claire and Callum is always SO. MUCH. FUN.

The list of favourite parts of this wedding is endless: from Claire’s film-star entrance; the wedding service; the boys double act speeches and of course seeing the VIP (very important pooch) Teddy. Oh and just take a look at that dance floor – bouncing doesn’t even come close.

Claire and Callum can we please do it all again soon? Every single part. Until then here’s a tiny glimpse into your gorgeous wedding day.

Quite honestly we agree with you – yours was the most magical, exciting, heartfelt wedding…

Real Life Wedding: Melville Castle


11 April 2026

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


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.
