Katia & William’s Wedding, Abercorn Church followed by Hopetoun House, South Queensferry



What a wonderful wedding to be a part of – a gorgeous, balmy summer’s day…a lovely bride and groom, really great guests (brought together from 13 countries!)  and one of our most favourite venues to work in, it really didn’t feel like it was work, it was such an enjoyable day. Katia and William, you made it all happen so thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your celebrations and start of your new life…

 

We’re sometimes asked what we photograph during preparations… For us, it’s all in the details. We love creating moments of calmness before the rest of the day unfolds. It’s a chance to savour all the thought and planning that’s gone into your wedding day. Katia – we loved your colour scheme – it was just beautiful.

The food at Hopetoun House is always amazing – we love what Heritage Portfolio do. Yes – it did taste as good as it looks…

We loved the flowers that Planet Flowers designed for Hopetoun House; especially the simplicity of eight glass vases of blooms all along the fireplace – it was really inspired…

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.
