Sophie and Nick

Sophie & Nick’s late summer celebrations at the fabulous Rossie on the Earn were an absolute dream to photograph. There was so much to love about this wedding, from the wonderful ceremony in the sunken garden of Rossie House, to all the gorgeous blooms and styling by Ochre Botanical Studios, it was a joy to be a part of. Hope you all enjoy looking through photos as much as I did taking them.

Victoria and Sweyn

Victoria & Sweyn’s amazing day at the fabulous Cow Shed in Crail had everything I love about weddings all rolled into one! After a lovely morning getting ready and supping super strong G&T’s (not me obviously!), I headed down to the gorgeous wee harbour in Crail to capture Victoria & Sweyn’s “first look”. Witnessing the moment they saw each other in their incredible outfits was so special, and the perfect start to the most magical of days. A wonderful, laughter filled ceremony, set against a backdrop of amazing floral creations by Wild Flower Workshop was followed by an epic feast and some hilarious speeches! The day was topped off in true Scottish style with a rabble rousing ceilidh, and a rather unusual Orcadian tradition know as the “Orcadian Cog”. This is basically a big wooden bowl full to the brim with hot booze, which is passed round from guest to guest. What could possibly go wrong…?!

It was such a treat to work with so many awesome suppliers on this wedding. If you’re on the look out for some super talented wedding creatives for your big day, you won’t go far wrong with this lovely lot!

Sarah Jane and James

I knew from the moment these two got in touch about their wedding that it was going to be amazing, and boy oh boy, was it amazing! Working closely with some of Scotland’s finest wedding suppliers, Sarah Jane & James created a wee bit of magic on the Ayrshire coast, which was a total dream to photograph. From the truly stunning floral arrangements and bouquets by my all time favourite florist - Myrtle & Bracken to the gorgeous bespoke Flossy & Dossy dress, that Sarah Jane looked incredible in, the day was oozing with style and personality. After a wonderful ceremony in the camellia house in the grounds of Culzean Castle, we explored the walled gardens and took stroll on the beach before heading back up to Sarah Jane’s family home to carry on the celebrations. The day was topped off with a rabble rousing performance from their pals band, who’d reformed for one night only, and played an epic set of stone cold classics!

Big shout out to Gillian from Pin Up Hair Glasgow, Doug from Northern Aye Photography, who did a cracking job second shooting for me, and also Cue the Mustard (Videography) - you were all a total dream to work with!

Kirsty and Rodolpho

Kirsty & Rodolpho’s wedding bonanza at the fabulous Comrie Croft was a real feast for the senses! With Kirsty being an amazing artist and coming from a family of street performers, along with Rodolpho’s Brazilian charm and musical talents I knew I was in for a treat, and they certainly didn’t disappoint! The barn was full of wonderful homemade creations, with my personal favourites being the Frida Kahlo cocktail bar and an enormous puppet called Stella who made a guest appearance in the afternoon! After the most magical ceremony in the woods above the croft conducted by no other than Kirsty’s amazing Dad - Mike, everyone headed back down to the courtyard for cocktails, speeches and plenty of samba vibes! The day was topped off with lots of raucous ceilidh dancing and the most amazing sunset, not a bad way to spend a Monday I must say!

Arden and Steven

Arden & Steven’s two day wedding extravaganza was beyond amazing! Organising a wedding is no easy task at the best of times, but managing to organise the whole lot from Tel Aviv is ridiculously impressive! The celebrations started with the most wonderful, intimate ceremony at the spectacular Garnethill Synagogue. A truly memorable occasion filled with love, laughter and lots of dancing! We started day two with a wander round Pollok Country Park and one of my favourite spots in Glasgow - the World Famous Barras Market! This was followed by another fabulous ceremony at The People’s Palace, with a wonderful blend Scottish and Jewish traditions (which I must say go hand in hand rather nicely!). Everyone then made their way over to West On The Green for the most spectacular reception. Natalie & Laura (Lemon Box Studios) along with Di from Myrtle & Bracken created a little bit of magic in dressing the room, putting together a Bauhaus inspired masterpiece! The party carried on long into the night, with some pretty impressive Jewish wedding dances thrown in for good measure! Arden & Steven thanks so so much for having me along, I had an absolute blast!

BIG shout out to all the incredible suppliers, you’re all amazing! Cat Robertson Make-Up, Myrtle & Bracken, Lemon Box Studios, Limor Rosen, West On The Green, Sandy Butler, Three Sisters Bake.
