One magical autumn day


Cori & Ian

Real Life Wedding: Drumsheugh Gardens and Noto, Edinburgh


Cori and Ian’s wedding was  magical . From their ceremony (a private garden in the heart of Edinburgh’s new town)  to their party (dinner at their favourite restaurant Noto with their closest family and friends) it was a dream.

Add to that a moment set aside for their firstlook and quality time spent in the gardens sipping champagne, hanging out with their favourites and even walking with their daughter little P and first born four legged Finn.

I will never stop saying every wedding is unique and special. They 100% are. Often it’s the details I remember: butterflies joining us for bridal prep, the scent of  apple hairspray, the pre-aisle giggles and arm squeezes, snippets of speeches… and of course music.

Cori and Ian’s wedding is one I will always remember with so much clarity and detail. Because it was beautiful. But also because Cori is someone I get to call friend. And now I can also say Ian is too. Because these two are a team. An incredible and unique team.

Thank you both for letting us tell your wedding story.  It was a privilege and a huge delight. Here are (some) of the magical details I remember from your day:

  • The view from the room where Cori got ready – sitting above Edinburgh as she glowed in the afternoon sun
  • The sound of Cori’s dress as she made her way to meet Ian for the first time as a bride
  • The way Ian looks at Cori (also the way Cori looks at Ian) – love and respect in equal measure
  • Little P’s smiles as she was held by both her parents
  • The geese flying overhead during their ceremony.
  • Kat and Harry’s unwavering dedication to making your garden party exceptional (even cleaning up a random dog’s calling card)
  • The extra guest at the wedding
  • The incredible smell as soon as the doors of Noto opened
  • The warmth and sound of chatter and laughter as evening became night

See you soon you two fabulous humans.

#Big Blue Sky Love,

Alie & Niels xx

Real Life Wedding: St Michael’s Linlithgow, followed by Dundas Castle


27 September 2025

From our very first meeting with Catherine and Alex, when they told us about their Dundas Castle wedding, we were grinning from ear to ear. These two are warm, easy going and love each other to bits. The way they speak about their family and friends made it clear that this wedding was going to be a blast from beginning to end.

Real Life Wedding: Seamill Hydro


19 September 2025

The Seamill Hydro is one of those wedding venues where you feel like you’ve escaped for the weekend. For Kirsty and Ross their wedding was all about ’emotional hilarity’ which is a phrase we understand completely. These two chose marriage because they love each other to bits and they wanted to share that with their family and friends (who they are super close to). But also life is too short not to have an absolute blast whenever you get the opportunity so why let your wedding day be anything less that 100% fun?
