From Edinburgh, with love


Lauren & Douglas

Real Life Wedding: Signet Library


The Signet Library was the perfect place to bring together family and friends from all over the world. For Lauren and Doug it was even more incredible than they imagined, with everyone they love celebrating with them on the most glorious sunny day. Edinburgh was showing off bigtime.

Lauren and Doug are the best kind of people: kind, genuine, self-deprecating and filled with a warmth that leaves you feeling like you’ve known them for years.

Thank you Lauren and Doug for letting us tell your wedding story. It was exactly as you described it: emotional, meaningful and timeless. We love that you didn’t stop smiling all day. 

Special mention to the bridal team who were just fabulous. From Steph (who did the best job of not saying anything nice to Lauren all day – a trick to reduce tears which proved hilarious!), the boys and of course Angus and Charlotte who were top flower girl and pageboy. 

Here’s a teaser for now. Can’t wait to share all with you.

#BigBlueSkyLove,

Alie & Niels xx

 

"“We have to particularly mention the PHENOMENAL flowers - they were totally magical and although again we knew they were happening, to see it in person was just the most wonderful surprise because they completely exceeded all expectations!”

Signet Library Weddings

Signet Library weddings are the one of a kind. Partying in a library is so wrong and yet so right. Stunning, sophisticated and yet so wonderfully relaxed, it’s the kind of space you’ll not want to leave. Your guests will be wowed by the downstairs library… until they are transported up the magnificent staircase to the upper library. And from then on the party is literally next level. Fact.

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.
