Real Life Scottish wedding: Newhall Estate Wedding


Carley & Craig

Walled Garden Magic


Newhall Estate is an absolute hidden gem, tucked just outside Edinburgh. Imagine the most perfect of fairytale walled gardens and I’m not sure you’d even come close. That’s before we’ve mentioned the house and the rest of the grounds. We could spend a day there and happily get lost.

We have been dreaming of Carley and Craig’s wedding for a long time (slightly longer than anyone would have imagined) and it was so worth the wait and then some!

Every detail had been planned to perfection by these two. The musical soundtrack to the day was magical. From the mellow, smoky tones of the saxophone across the garden as Carley walked down the aisle with her dad, through to the upbeat tunes for their first dance…

Carley and Craig we were big fans of yours before your wedding, but now we’re next level. You two nailed your wedding day and the vibe of intimate family party was spot on. Can we be invited to all your parties from now on?

Here’s a sneak peak… we cannot wait to share all of your photographs with you.

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Niels & Alie  xxx

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.

Real Life Wedding: Royal College of Physicians


04 October 2025

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.
