From Us to Everyone
Megan & Jonathan
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.
The vision, from the very first time we sat down with these two and chatted through their wedding plans, was about bringing people together and that is exactly what they did. We also photographed their friends’ weddings a couple of years ago so we had more than an inkling that this was going to be a brilliant day.
For Megan and Jonathan their wedding ceremony was one of their huge highlights of the day as they got to say their vows to each other in front of all of their favourite people. They both felt so loved throughout the whole day.
Thank you for letting us be your wedding day storytellers. We are super-excited to catch-up and share the rest of the story with you soon.
#BigBlueSkyLove,
Alie & Niels xx
Melville Castle Weddings
Melville Castle is a hotel just outside of Edinburgh city centre. It’s a little bit of a hidden gem as it sits in 54 acres of woodland, has its own fountain at the back. The staircase and pillars inside give it a sense of grandeur, but the vibe is actually super chilled and relaxed. You can kick-back in the library bar or languish in the outside seating (perfect for spring and summer weddings)
As it’s a hotel you can choose to have a tiny wedding with just a few of your besties, or you can opt to take over the whole hotel and party on until the wee-hours in the on-site marquee.

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.
