Horses, swords
and a whole lot of love


Janette & Ingolf

Drumtochty Castle Wedding


Even before we met Janette and Ingolf we had more than an inkling their wedding day was going to knock our little socks off. The fact that one of their friends took special horse riding lessons so they could enact a sword giving ceremony in front of the castle gives you a hint of how much fun these two are.

Their wedding day was a celebration: a celebration of love, friendship and of all things good in life. We were rather privileged to be part of it all.

Mr and Mrs Hovik we think of your wedding day and simply smile. Fun doesn’t seem a big enough word. Thank you for letting us be your wedding photographers.

Big Blue Sky Love,
N&A xx

Real Life Wedding: Hopetoun House


25 May 2024

Hopetoun House is magical pretty much most days. But the day of Nic and Oli’s wedding it seemed to have an extra layer of something. Perhaps it was the weather (impeccably behaved for once), or the sweet sound of laughter on the breeze, or just the general vibe of all things extraordinarily perfect…

Real Life Wedding: Dunglass Estate


06 April 2024

Alex and Molly are the kind of people who embrace life and all it throws at them. Including what we can only be described as the windiest wedding I think we’ve ever been at (think winds of 50 mph – enough to take out huge stone planters) And the result was a wedding day that was even more magical that anyone could have imagined.

Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle


03 April 2024

Their spring wedding was beautiful in spite of the rain (think one of the wettest days ever). Actually it was a little more beautiful because of the rain. As family and friends dashed for cover under mutlicloured brollies there were smile, giggles and lot of togetherness. And what could be better than cosying up in Drumtochty Castle as the wood burners crackle?
