Hopetoun House styled wedding photography for Luxury Scottish Wedding show

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.

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!

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.

Hopetoun House Manor made for a beautifully imposing venue – quite possibly the grandest of all wedding venues in Edinburgh, decorated for Christmas charm.
The bride arrived, and this was it. All of the planning, and it comes to that poignant moment where the bride and groom meet at the alter.
The twenty-four hour countdown had begun – and I met the happy couple to-be at the breath-taking venue of Hopetoun House (a venue that could easily claim a title amongst the most beautiful places to get married in Edinburgh).
Photography ideas were discussed, a yearlong wedding plan came together and Lisa and Joseph flipped between excitement and nervousness. As is obligatory – we hoped, prayed and crossed our fingers for good weather, doing a mental sun dance as we walked through the ceremony together.

This was my first time at the venue and I was really looking forward to explore my possibilities here. I love how they have access to the waterfront, have nice forest type of garden and the houses are awesome. Reminds me a lot Scandinavian style with a Scottish twist. The sizes of the getting ready houses for both boys and girls, are just enormous. Loads of space just to sneak away and have a quiet time away. Ballroom has great twinkle light ceiling and serves as great backdrop for those beautiful first dance shots.
