Atmospheric Edinburgh Castle served as beautiful background for Isla and Mark’s wedding day. This was my first wedding at the Edinburgh Castle and I was specially excited to create some fantastic wedding photography artwork. Lots of planning and thinking went into this, but due to high winds at the castle we had to skip few of ideas :) Wedding photos still look amazing and I’m really happy to share these with you. Now I can definitely say that whatever weather is on Princess street , it is not up at the castle. The wind was sooo strong that ladies hats were flying off and Isla’s veil was always finding a way to be in front of her face.

The day started with Isla getting ready at parents house and Mark went for few drinks at the local pub on the way to the castle. Loved Isla’s blue wedding theme. Getting ready part was going nice and smooth and had plenty of time to photograph details and family.

Wedding ceremony was very intimate with closest family only. One thing I will say about weddings at such a popular historic venue, YOU WILL HAVE AUDIENCE :) It will feel like hundreds and hundreds of guests are attending the wedding. Tourists are everywhere and like real paparazzi style pushing each other on side to get the best shot of the bride. Just loved it. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but I bet during the august season this might be interesting sight.

Those of you who know me, will know that I do a lot of evening wedding photography. This wedding was no exception and we created lots of nice and unique wedding photography during late hours.

Congratulations to Isla and Mark and I’m proud to present wedding story.

  • Dave and Julie’s wedding story at Broxmouth Park

    This was my first season opening wedding. I was really looking forward to   Reiss wedding. Especially because they were planning to have outdoors ceremony. Up till last minute we still didn’t know if this will be indoors or outdoors wedding. Weather was a bit funny, but I trusted Metoffice predictions. Kept saying to Julie, ” don’t worry it will awesome weather from 2 pm onwards” and it was absolutely splendid weather. You could not ask for better day.
    Once again Simon, the owner of the Broxmouth Park, took really great care of the big day and everything was brilliantly organised. Love how couples get very special treatment from him and everything is nicely personalised. I will say it again, one of my favourite boutique wedding venues in East Lothian.

  • Dunglass Estate Wedding Photos – L&A

    It was my pleasure to be part of beautiful Dunglass Estate Wedding with Lauren and Adam. My first time there and must say church did impress me. In spring time I went for a scouting and I wasn’t sure how this will look like on wedding day. Guys did absolutely gorgeous job and everything was very well taken care of. Beautiful decorations with flowers, vases and small details trickled around the venue. Thank you florist and wonderful staff at Dunglass. Hats off. 

  • Archerfield house weddings | Philip and Rebecca

    It is time to share with you awesome wedding I photographed few weeks ago. Wedding where everything was with massive wow factor. I mean everything. I haven’t seen such attention for detail for a while. Be warned, AWESOME word might come out few times here :) One of the best wedding suppliers in Edinburgh came together and made this happen. Energy, love and more love. Plus massive injection of creativity.
    Loved to see how not only girls have beautiful connection during this wedding, but boys equally had awesome time. It was very nice to see how best man really was holding it together during the ceremony. Mike you are truly best friend. Loved your speech about business partners :) Dads strawberry story was very nice touch too.

  • Principal hotel Edinburgh Wedding Photos | Newsomes

    Where to start on Aga and Mike. First we met at the wedding show. Guys booked me then and I invited them for a tester shoot. You really get to know people when you photograph them. You see all their quirky sides. These two were just giggling away. Oh my god, we had so much fun :) I loved the fact that they connected so well. They knew how to pull the best out of each and overload of smiles were coming very naturally. I love how Aga scrunching her nose when she has lots of laugh. Mike loves supporting Aga and I think no matter what life will kick at them, they are awesome team to tackle it.
    We had to do a bit of planning. If you are after some shots with foliage background, you have to go to the Queens street gardens. I was a bit concerned on how much time we have and if we would be able to do everything I planned.

  • Dundas castle wedding photos for Mr and Mrs Love

    It was my first time getting the opportunity to photograph at the incredible Dundas Castle, just outside of Edinburgh. The castle is magnificent – it looks like it’s straight from the pages of a fairytale. The castle has a lot of history too, with parts of the building dating back to 15th century, which makes it a treat to take photographs in. My favourite location was the pool room. As soon as I walked in, I knew I had to get a shot of the men in there, and in the evening Daniela and I returned with Lauren and Martin to take some moody, romantic shots!
