Edinburgh wedding photography | Balbirnie house

Last Updated on 24/01/2024 by

Hi everyone. Hope your new year has started very well and all looking good for 2013. Today I want to share with you my last wedding on 2012 with awesome couple Brona and Ben. Generally I provide Edinburgh wedding photography, but this time we went across to Kingdom of Five, to Balbirnie House Hotel. We were hoping to have nice white winter wedding, but in Scotland mother nature is a bit unpredictable. We had quiet rainy and cold day, so outdoors wedding photography was run run run and quick quick quick.

This was my first wedding at Balbirnie House hotel and hope to visit this venue a lot more as it has such a great setting and there are endless possibilities and what to do photography wise. Hotel and staff were just awesome. Wedding coordinator Kirsty was very helpful and accommodating every wish we had. Really looking forward to create more awesome wedding photography there.

Wedding went really well and we had fantastic ceremony with loads of fun moments. We had great speech time where boys were teasing Ben :) and we had fantastic evening part. Big thanks to families and all who where there for Brona and Ben, to organise wedding on very short notice most likely was not an easy task and everything was well thought trough.

Here little background on how they both met.

‘ We both met and fell in love in Edinburgh, which is one of the reasons we decided to get married in Edinburgh rather than our home towns. Ben had moved down from the Black Isle to go to Edinburgh university. After graduation he decided to stay in Edinburgh to find a job and moved into a rental apartment with some friends.

I am originally from Ireland. I moved to Edinburgh after graduating from Newcastle University. I was looking for a room to rent and the first flat i viewed and moved into was the flat that Ben and his friends were already living in. Myself and Ben became great friends instantly.

It wasn’t until one night, in one of Edinburgh’s most classier of nightspots ‘Poo NaNa’, that our friendship blossomed. Ben is convinced that the reason we got together was because of his, awesome dance moves! ‘

Reason why they choose A-Fotografy …

‘ We had no idea that you were a wedding photographer until one day on Facebook a friend liked a quirky wedding picture. The picture was of a bride and groom standing in a roll top bath. Straight away I looked to see who took the picture and was very surprised that it was a-fotografy. We had already admired your baby portraits that you completed for our friends and had no idea that you were also a wedding photographer. We looked on your website and loved all the pictures that you had posted from previous weddings, from the traditional photos to the fun and quirky.

We were so impressed that we knew we wanted you to be our wedding photographer. After the pre wedding session we were so amazed by the photos, that we had no doubts the wedding pictures will be outstanding also.

I would recommend you to any of our friends. You are worth every penny. You put in a lot of preparation. You are a perfectionist, very thorough and you have great ideas. Thank you so much for giving us the most amazing pictures that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.’

I’m happy to present their wedding day highlights and hope you all will join in to congratulate them on their big day :)

    Graeme and Karolina got married back in Poland, but unfortunately weather was not at the best and they didn’t get any outdoors photos. They came back to Edinburgh and decided to have nice photos around town. First I met Graeme at one of my previous Edinburgh weddings and he asked me if I could create some images for them.
    I really like idea of no stress walking around town shots. Give s time to stop, think and just enjoy easy. Guys sent me a list of locations they would like to be photographed and I went for little scouting and thinking. We had few old town locations and Crags.

  • Inchcolm Island wedding photography | Sally and Chris

    Last week I had a chance to photograph beautiful and very emotional wedding. One of the big days parts was Inchcolm Island wedding photography and I always love to create stories there. It is always a bit tricky with time, but with a bit of running around, we still managed to create beautiful portraits for Sally and Chris. Our day started at the Hopetound House with bridal preparation, while boys took ferry to Inchcolm to prep everything there.

    It meant the world to us to be celebrating this day with our family and friends. It was fantastic to see everyone getting to know one another during the day then ceilidhing the night away. In the wonderful whirlwind of the day, we did manage to find a few quiet moments to reflect. We were very lucky to spend a lot of these with Armands whose great chat kept us laughing from picture to picture.
     We wanted to give everyone who came a little something to take away with them as a thank you for celebrating with us. We had a great time making all the coin cufflinks and stamp brooches (Stephen’s ByJove designs came in very handy!) It was even better when we realised that some guests brooches perfectly matched their outfits!

  • Macdonald Marine Hotel wedding photography | Mr and Mrs Lister

    I had lots of ideas for their big day photography. Unfortunately weather turned against us and we decided to skip beach session. I would say this is even better as I will get to photograph them again during our after wedding photography session. I’m sure it will be awesome and beautiful. This time we pretty much spend all time under the roof and did lots of ideas within hotel. There were so many different possibilities to do and I was really excited to try out some new ideas. It might a bit quirky, but that is what I’m know for :) Taking couples to some not so glamourous locations :) Of course I do more beauty work as well, not everything is done in scrap places :)

  • Edinburgh Mansfield traquair wedding photos | Houstons

    I loved many parts of the ceremony :) I loved how both of them Saraid-Jane and Stuart talked about Stuart’s jokes which apparently are not funny :) it made a lot of giggles in the room. I really loved the reading about dinosaurs. I think it was really sweet and awesome. Treasure that book guys. Story was beautiful.
    Morning part with girls was filled with laughs and Mr and Mrs Newton were busy prepping up everything in kitchen. I loved how relaxed was Mr Newton, very cool and so happy for his daughter. When Mrs Newton said that she made her dress, I was like whaaaat?! Wow it looked amazing, I must say.
    Stuart is quiet serious man, but boys had fantastic morning with my second photographer. By looks he tried to keep his cool :) You could see that closer to ceremony he started to be pretty nervous.

  • Scottish Canadian wedding photography | Edinburgh
