A Risk Worth Taking
Katrina & James
Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle
Dundas Castle makes for a pretty fabulous destination wedding location. And the wedding of Katrina and James was, in their own words “a dream come true”
We loved all of their personal touches – this was a wedding where family and friends were involved in every single part and the emotion was incredible. Even Grandma Donna was part of the day as Katrina had carefully added her lace into her own wedding dress.
A major highlight for this pair was the moment the saw each other at the top of the aisle. With Koen on violin there were few dry eyes in the house. We also love that Katrina was blown away by how handsome James was (even better than the model she chose the kilt from ????)
For us, one of the most incredible parts of the day was the vows Katrina and James made to their kids during their ceremony. So. Special.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Risk for letting us be part of your epic Scottish wedding. Made all the more special by waiting a little longer than planned. It was sooo worth it and those Scottish Risks definitely know how to make a party a party!
#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.
