Extraordinarily perfect


Nic & Oli

Real Life Wedding: Hopetoun House


Hopetoun House is magical pretty much most days. But the day of Nic and Oli’s wedding it seemed to have an extra layer of something. Perhaps it was the weather (impeccably behaved for once), or the sweet sound of laughter on the breeze, or just the general vibe of all things extraordinarily perfect…

Getting to know this pair has been a delight. From chatting all things wedding (and pretty much anything else any between) we feel like we’ve known them for ages. When we asked their family what they loved most their answers followed a theme – relaxed, fun who care lots about their family and friends.

Nic and Oli we’re also big fans of yours. Photographing your wedding was a day we were so excited about and it was even more of a treat that we could have imagined. We have so many highlights. From your aisle walk (emotional and sublime all at once), your ceremony and exploring Hopetoun with you. We love that one of your favourite moments was having your photos taken on the stairs post wedding ceremony. And of course taking a trip up Lime Avenue (who knew – there are even Lime Trees 🤣)

Thank you for letting us be your wedding day storytellers. Here’s some post honeymoon joy for you. Soo excited to catch-up and all your collection…. and start planning your wedding album.

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

 

 

Hopetoun House Weddings

Hopetoun House is one of those take-your-breath-away venues. We challenge anyone not to drive up that driveway and feel more than a little bit in awe. And if you’re on your way to a party there then be prepared to be wined and dined and thoroughly ensconced in so much Scottish history you’ll feel a little bit more intelligent just being there.

We have been privileged to photograph one or two weddings and events there over the years. So if you want to see more take a peak at our Goosebump List

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.

Real Life Wedding: Seamill Hydro


19 September 2025

The Seamill Hydro is one of those wedding venues where you feel like you’ve escaped for the weekend. For Kirsty and Ross their wedding was all about ’emotional hilarity’ which is a phrase we understand completely. These two chose marriage because they love each other to bits and they wanted to share that with their family and friends (who they are super close to). But also life is too short not to have an absolute blast whenever you get the opportunity so why let your wedding day be anything less that 100% fun?

Real Life Wedding: Drumsheugh Gardens and Noto, Edinburgh


18 September 2025

Cori and Ian’s wedding was  magical. From their ceremony (a private garden in the heart of Edinburgh’s new town)  to their party (dinner at their favourite restaurant with their closest family and friends) it was a dream. Add to that a moment set aside for their firstlook and quality time spent in the gardens sipping champagne, hanging out with their favourites and even walking with their daughter little P and first born four legged Finn.
