Winter Weddings

George Hotel Wedding Lynn & Craig

Lynn & Craig's wedding was at the wonderful George Hotel in Edinburgh. A Fantastic winter's day in the heart of the New Town. I met up with Lynn and family at her parents home in Corstorphine where it was great to catch up with Morven who's wedding I had the pleasure of photographing last year. Perfect timing too as hair and make-up had just begun.

Then it was off to The George Hotel to meet Craig and the guys who were giving guests as warm welcome as they arrived. Andrew, Morven's new husband was on the bagpipes at the front door of the hotel doing a grand job of building the wedding atmosphere.

Lynn arrived in a traditional white Edinburgh Taxi looking absolutely stunning! A few shots with her father and the bridesmaid and it was time to get married.

I was working with Geewhiz Wedding Films for the wedding and they were fantastic all day. They had their positions set for the ceremony but were thoughtful of placement for the photographs too. Great to work with awesome suppliers like that. New friends too and working with them again next year. Looking forward to that.

After the ceremony it was time for the confetti shot and then family shots back inside in the warmth of The George. Lynn & Craig braved the cold for a few photographs on the streets of Edinburgh which was brilliant.

After dinner the band struck up and everyone looked back on what was a perfect winter wedding in Edinburgh.

Keavil House Hotel Wedding - Natasha & Stuart

The Keavil House Hotel was the perfect setting for Natasha & Stuart's winter wedding in Fife. It was chilly that's for sure but it stayed dry all day which allowed us to get some lovely shots outside in the golden sunshine.I arrived to meet the girls for hair and make-up. The two adjoining rooms were full of excitement for the day ahead. With around an hour to the ceremony Stuart and the boys arrived looking a little nervous but the nerves soon melted away once all the guests arrived at Keavil with big smiles and hugs for the groom.

The ceremony room was simply stunning! What a beautiful room for a wedding ceremony. After the ceremony and the family photographs he jumped in the car for nearby Pittencrief Park for some shots in the winter sunshine.

Stuart broke out the old projector for the speeches. The guests were laughing along to all the old photographs on the big screen... the happy couple growing up and leading to the big day. After dinner the evening guests arrived and then party time! The dance floor was packed as it was finally time for everyone to let their hair down!

Lothian Chambers Wedding - Renne & Andrew

I spend a wonderful afternoon with Renne & Andrew for their wedding at Lothian Chambers. It was pouring with rain in the morning but by the time I headed to Canonmills to pick them up for our little jaunt around the Old Town at 1pm it was a glorious winter’s day. We headed for Arthur’s Seat first for some nice photographs around the loch up there then headed to the Salisbury Crags view point for some spectacular Edinburgh backdrop shots. I think we were all grateful to get back into the warmth of the car as it is freezing now! Renee and Andrew didn’t mind though so off to the High Street we went for some more photographs before meeting up with family and friends at Lothian Chambers for the ceremony.

The newlyweds finished their day at Lucky Liquor, a brilliant little bar on Queen Street where the mixologist had created a cocktail just for them which they made together with their guests looking on.

I love small intimate and fun weddings and this was one of the very best!

Crieff Hydro Wedding - Amy & Paul

Amy & Paul's wedding was at the beautiful Crieff Hydro. It was easily one of the wettest weddings of the year as the rain lashed against the windows for the bridal preparation photos. Paul and the guys got ready at one of the other lodges and thankfully the hotel had arranged a mini bus to take them the short distance to the main hotel. They would have got drenched! Amy arrived in style! The vintage car was fantastic! I got soaked as Amy arrived as I wanted to get shots of her in the car, looking out to towards the bridesmaids. She looked beautiful.

The rest of the day went with the only hitch that matters.The wedding ceremony. It was perfect.

A massive thank you to Amy & Paul for making me part of their very special day.

Laura & Henry's Wedding At Balbirnie House Hotel

I always love returning to Balbirnie House as it is one of those wedding venues that has everything. Beautiful building, always welcoming staff and a stunning interior which includes that gorgeous staircase. Laura & Henry tied the knot in The Orangery at Balbirnie with drinks reception in the main bar. We couldn't have gotten the weather any better for this time of year with only a few spots of rain and the sun even made an apperance.

I met Laura in her room with all the girls as the hair and make-up was all going on. Always a great time to meet everyone and grab a few candid shots before heading downstairs to meet the boys. Henry was in the bar with all the groomsmen and other guests enjoyong a drink while the wedding hour fast approached.

The Orangery was beautifully prepared for Laura to walk down the aisle with her father. The ceremony was expertly conducted by Graham Duff from The Humanist Fellowship Of Scotland culminating in the traditional hand fastening. This is where the phrase "Tying The Knot" comes from.

After the ceremony all the guests headed outside for the big group photograph but then as it was a little chilly, we did the group shots in small bursts to help keep everyone nice and cozy indoors as well as making sure everyone could relax and enjoy the day instead of standing around for photos. It was a great atmospher and a fantastic day.

Huge thanks to Laura & Henry for making me part of their special day at The Balbirnie House Hotel.

Lisa & Darren's Wedding At Newbattle Abbey College

Lisa & Darren had the perfect winter setting for their wedding at Newbattle Abbey College. It is a stunning venue with beautiful spacious grounds extending out up the driveway to the imposing entrance. Round the back the gardens are beautifuly manicured all year round so even in the winter you have some lush greenery as the perfect backdrop to your photographs. I arrived just as Darren and the guests were coming down the drive. I went to check-in with Lisa and the bridesamaids in one of the rooms in the other building to make sure everything was ready and I have to say, they were way too organised! All ready to go with plently of time to spare. After grabbing some shots of the guests arriving I headed to the drawing room which is situated upstairs. This specatcular room has recently been renovated to it's former glory and would be fit for a royal banquet never mind a wedding. I took some shots of the table settings, favours etc before heading down the Newbattle Abbey's famous crypt where the ceremony would be taking place.

Lisa looked just beautiful as she walked in to meet Darren and little Archie. Everyone is nice and close when you choose the crypt at Newbattle for your ceremony and this gives the occasion a lovely intimate feel.

After the wedding ceremony I arranged all the upcoming shots like the confetti shot and family shots as well as grabbing those candid moments of everyone having a great time. As the sun started to peek a little through the clouds to create some definition we grabbed our chance to get some beautiful bride and groom shots around the sprawling grounds.

The wedding breakfast and speeches were held in the drawing room with catering supplied by the always excellent Mackenzies Restaurant. I have worked with Mike & Dave on several occasions and can't speak highly enough of their services.

Winter weddings really don't get any better than this!

Carberry Tower Wedding Photography - Alison & Neil

Just five minutes up the road for Alison & Neil's Wedding at Carberry Tower. The last time I was there the stunning marquee out out the lawns wasn't there before but what a fantastic addition it is. Carberry Tower pretty much has everything you could wish for on your wedding day. When I arrived, Neil and the boys were enjoying a drink in the snooker room and chatting with friends and family. We did some shots of the guys on the long driveway leading up to the hotel and thankfully, even though we were in the midsts of December, it wasn't actually that cold at all. I then headed up to Alison's room to get some shots of her with Mum, Dad and Sis. She looked stunning and her dress was equally beautiful. A few shots in the room and then it was show time.

The staff at the Hotel were terrific and were chatting at interacting with the guests as they made their way to the ceremony room. It may have been winter but it was a lovely chilled laid back atmosphere. After the ceremony it was time for the family shots which we whizzed through. I always chat about group shots before the big day and just had the guests needed for the shots on hand. That meant with light fading fast we could get some great shots of Alison & Neil, in and around the grounds.

Finally it was off to the new marquee, which looked amazing,for speeches, dinner and a fantastic party! Even some Old Skool thrown in there which kept me entertained as I grabbed some shots of the dancing guests. Finally as Neil is a Physics teacher, I just wanted to ask what he has for his dinner at night. Fission Chips apparently! No? Oh alright then.

Eskmills Wedding Reception - Nicolle & Kyle

Nicolle & Kyle were married at the amazing Wynn Resort in LAS VEGAS!! The real party back home though at their Eskmills wedding reception. After all the guests arrived we watched the ceremony on the big screen and it looked incredible. The wedding was so beautifully done and having most of their family over there must have been so special too.

After the big screening it was straight into the music and every one had a ball. Eskmills is a fantastic venue for a wedding reception. it has a huge dance floor while still having areas to lounge on big comfy sofas as well as all the tables the guests sit at during the wedding breakfasts etc. Chris and the team always put on a great show every time I'm there.

If you are getting married in East Lothian, Eskmills should be on your shortlist even as the reception venue if you are planning a church wedding.

Nicolle, Kyle and their friends were brilliant all night. Photos opportunities everywhere and everyone seemed to just want to party. It was also great to catch up with a few familiar faces from other weddings I have photographed over the years. It's always great to see everyone and it's just brilliant to know that most of the work I receive now is via friend recommendations. Genuine thanks to those who have passed on my details, it means a lot.

Thanks again guys...awesome night.

Claire & Steven's Wedding At Eskmills

Claire & Steven were married at Our Lady Of Loretto Church in Mussulburgh before heading to the brilliant Eskmills to start the party! I met with Claire at her mum's house for the bridal prep photographs where I bumped into Stacey Mitchell who was there to do Claire and the bridesamaids make up. Then it was off to church to meet up with the boys before the ceremony. They were certainly up for a good laugh and I knew this was going to be a really fun day. The boys were great and their banter was top drawer. Once we got to Eskmills it was time for the speeches and the wedding breakfast.

Everyone was having a ball and the time seem to flying as the first dance fast approached. The party kicked off pretty much immediatly with some awesome dancefloor shenningans and slick moves.

Houston House Hotel Wedding - Lauren & Jamie

The Houston House Hotel is a wedding venue I haven't been to for almost exactly a year now. Always have a great time there but this time it was mostly due to Lauren & Jamie. Hopefully the fun of the day shines through the photographs as it was a day when time just flew by. Started off at Lauren's parents house for the getting ready photos before heading to St Mary's at Dalmahoy for the wedding service. A beautiful little church just inside the grounds of the Dalmahoy Golf and Country club. Once we arrived at The Houston House Hotel, Lauren and Jamie were greeted by their guests before the wedding breakfast. The speeches were brilliant and the same can be said for the dancing too. Just brilliant!

Fingask Castle Wedding - Tegan & Mark

I had never photographed a wedding at Fingask Castle in Perthshire before Tegan and Mark's Wedding. Early March in Perth could easily mean either knee deep in snow or horizontal rain but thankfully, it was actually kind of warm and it stayed dry all day too! Tegan was getting ready with the bridesmaids down in one of the cottages next to the Castle. It was all hair and make-up at this stage but the plan was to head into Fingask to slip on the dress. It's a beautiful venue. The interior is gorgeous and you really do feel like you are in a stately family home. You are! Everyone was so welcoming and efficient. It was rapidly heading towards the top of my favourite wedding venues.

I got some shots of Mark arriving with his father then headed back up to the bridal suite to photograph Tegan and the girls as they sipped champagne and laughed as the minutes ticked down to "I Do".

The ceremony was lovely as Gary Smith, Humanist Celebrant, was looking after the vows and ceremony. After the ceremony, I got all the guests organised with the confetti for the big exit of Tegan & Mark. It couldn't have gone any better!

After bride and groom photos, we had the speeches and the wedding breakfast in the marquee. Finally after the cutting of the cake and the first dances, all the guests partied the night away.

Fingask Castle...... I salute you. Amazing venue!

Tegan and Mark.... Thank you for making me a part of your very special day.

Dalhousie Wedding Photography - Wendy & Mark

Weddings at Dalhousie Castle, one of central Scotland's premier wedding venues, you really can't go wrong. Recently under new management but still putting on beautifully intimate weddings. There's something about Dalhousie Castle I can't put my finger on it but it always feels like a nice cosy family wedding. It doesn't cater for huge numbers but it makes up for it by providing a very personal intimate wedding in spectacular surroundings. Wendy and Mark travelled up from England with their friends and family. We had a great laugh while the girls were getting ready and sipping on the brandy to calm the nerves. Then I headed down to meet Mark and the Best Man at the falconry centre where they were practicing for the Owl to deliver the rings during the ceremony.

Wendy looked beautiful as she was escorted to the chapel to take Mark's hand. Marion Jackson always provides a really personal Humanist ceremony and I've been lucky enough to have attended lot's of her weddings.

Unfortunately the wind was approaching veil take off speed so we did most of the shots indoors. Wendy and Mark wanted a more reportage style (my Fave) of their day so they could look back and remember it as it happened. That they will.

Thank you both very much for letting me spend your wedding day with you.

The Vu Wedding Photography - Kym & Michael

I know I say it a lot it seems but I have really been lucky to have been able to attend the weddings of very special people. Kym and Michael easily fall into that category. Just brilliant all the way through from the first meeting to the wedding itself. From the beginning of the day, I felt like a guest with a camera. Nothing was too much trouble at all and what a laugh we had on a very special day indeed. It was blowing a gale at The Vu on the day but that didn't stop everyone having a great time which hopefully shines through the photographs.

Lesley & Elliot's Wedding in Carrickknowe and The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh.

A Christmas Wedding!! A perfect day to celebrate the wedding of Lesley & Elliot at Carrickknowe Parish Church and The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. I met Lesley at her parents house for a few photographs before meeting Elliot at the church round the corner. I have shot a wedding there before, Fiona the Minister is brilliant and allowed me to sit near the front to get some great shots. Always a pleasure Fiona, thank you again for being so great.

As it gets dark very quickly in December we sped off into the city shortly after the ceremony to take photographs on Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile. It doesn't get much better than this for a backdrop (Ok I'm biased, I love Edinburgh).

The wedding reception was held at the stunning Assembly Rooms in George Street. The Grand Hall is incredible! Boasting huge chandeliers that tower over the guests as they sat for dinner. Really is beautiful. Finally it was time for the dances where evening guests had joined both Lesley & Elliot to celebrate this special day.

Gretna Green Wedding - Marianne & Jonathan

Hogmany 2013! 9am on pretty cold and damp day in Scotland. What's new huh? The driech day was brightened up by two people about to take their vows. Marianne & Jonathan's smiles brightened up the day like two rays of sunshine! What a great time both families had on this very special of days. The Old Blacksmith's Shop is famous the world over. Over the years thousands of couples have eloped to the south west of Scotland to tie the knot over the Blacksmith's Anvil. I arrived at around 8:15am to get some shots of Jonathan getting ready before meeting up with Marianne and she prepared to make the short walk across the road to the ceremony venue.

The ceremony itself was simple but with a air of romance that you just can't get anywhere else. This place is so unique. We then headed outside so I get get some shots of the family getting blown away by the wind. I did manage to get a few family photos in before everyone did their Mary Poppins impressions and floated off into the blue yonder.

Finally we headed back to the hotel for a few more shots before we said our goodbyes. Thank you both, so much, for inviting me along to be a part of this amazing morning in Gretna.
