Emily and Doug

Emily & Doug’s fabulous wedding day in the heart of Edinburgh was an absolute joy from beginning to end. After the most wonderful ceremony atop Calton Hill overlooking the city, it was time for music, drinks and some pretty epic group photos in the glorious summer sunshine. We then made our way to one of my all time favourite Edinburgh spots - Timberyard to carry on the celebrations. A cracking set of speeches in the courtyard was followed by an amazing five course dinner, with every course looking like a work of art. The day was finished off with a wander round the magical Grassmarket for some photos, then back to Timberyard to dance the night away! This really was the most wonderful day, and being there to capture Emily & Doug having the best time with their lovely family and friends was so special.

Megan and Josh

I honestly cannot sing Megan & Josh’s praises highly enough! Having had to adapt their wedding plans not once but three times, including a last minute change of day to avoid the torrential rain, they pulled off the most incredible day surrounded by their nearest and dearest in the spectacular setting of Braemar in the Cairngorms. After a wonderful first look in the morning we headed off to the hills above the River Dee to soak up the amazing views and autumn sunshine, before heading back for the most magical ceremony under a canopy of pine trees. The day was topped off with a piper led stroll into town followed by a fabulous reception at the equally fabulous Fife Arms. In a time when all our lives are filled with such uncertainty, with big wedding plans postponed or cancelled, it’s so wonderful to see folk like Megan & Josh thinking outside the box to have a wedding day like no other!

Tegan and Conrad

My oh my, what a fabulous day this was! Tegan & Conrad travelled all the way from Canberra in Australia to tie the knot in the beautiful Perthshire countryside, and they couldn’t have picked a more magical place than Ballintaggrt Farm. Surrounded by rolling hills and stunning scenery Ballintaggart is a wee slice of Scottish paradise, and the perfect spot for a romantic elopement!

A lovely leisurely morning spent getting ready, along with a couple of glasses of bubbly and some delicious nibbles, was followed by a wonderful, intimate ceremony with the most spectacular views across the hills. The one thing I love about humanist ceremonies is you can personalise your ceremony however you wish. It was so lovely to hear Tegan & Conrad’s story, as well as a couple of lovely readings, which were beautifully read by their equally lovely pals - Lauren and Fazel. The ceremony ended in true Scottish style, with everyone (including me!) having a sip of Whiskey from the Quaich. A Scottish tradition I’m very much in favour of!

After a few snaps in the gorgeous surroundings, we headed down the road to the fabulous Grandtully Hotel for a couple of their signature cocktails. (It’s a times like this I wish I had a driver!) The day was topped off with what I’m sure was an epic feast of culinary delights, prepared by the amazingly talented Ballintaggart kitchen team.

Tegan & Conrad, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your wonderful wedding celebrations, I had the best time!
