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

Cassie and Tom’s Christmas wedding at Mansfield Traquair was a festive celebration of love, laughter and one or two surprises 😉 We knew this was going to be the most epic of weddings, but still we were both blown away by the energy of these two. This is a couple who live and love 100mph and everyone around them adores them.
