Lauren & John’s Wedding, Hopetoun House, South Queensferry
Lauren and John are just the nicest, most genuine people and everyone who knows them will say the same… One of our abiding memories of their wedding day is Lauren’s incredible beaming smile as she came out of her wedding car (despite the slightly longer journey than planned!)
Their wedding day at Hopetoun House had so much of them in it. From their personal ceremony to their speeches, which were filled with so much love… there wasn’t a dry eye in the ballroom. It was so much fun seeing the ceilidh dancing as everyone (Australian included) threw themselves into it. What a great party!
Lauren and John thank you for being you and for letting us be part of your wedding. You made us feel so welcome and you are so natural together. You are the perfect team.
We loved meeting your fab family and friends… Kim, Nellie and Marika thank you for great chat in the taxi – we’d love to see you next year when we’re out in Burly…
Here’s a taster of what was a fantastic celebration.

P.S. How cute are Lauren’s flower girls?
The team at Planet Flowers created a stunning, elegant look in the ballroom, not to mention the eucalyptus on the spiral stairway (to remind Lauren of home)
How cute are these two. Girls you were fab. Real little princesses!
We love how Heritage Portfolio make food look so pretty (and taste so good)

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.
