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: 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.
Real Life Wedding: Royal College of Physicians
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.
