I’m known for my slightly quirky approach to wedding photography and I love working with couples who are more adventurous. Watch this video to get a full walkthrough of the venue and ideas for different photo possibilities. Today I’m going to walk you through Broxmouth Park wedding venue. One of my favourite wedding venues in…
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!
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.
It was my pleasure to document Mr and Mrs McPhee day at The Byre at Inchyra wedding. During our initial meetings these guys kept telling me how camera shy they are. Definitely not true, I simply could not get very serious faces from these guys. Both of them kept giggling and having a great time.
Day before wedding it was pretty stormy day and I started to get a bit nervous, but I shouldn’t. I think guys very praying pretty hard and they managed to set their ceremony outdoors. Crisp dry and sunny morning led everyone in pretty relaxed moods and day could start.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Wow! What an incredible day. The best day of our life’s. After a nervous night sleep we started early. While Danielle was dealing with essential hair makeup and bubbles. Iain and the boys were in the forrest with the clay pigeon shooting.
Our service was stunning, better than we ever imagined. It is happened under the fantastic Tree with Martha’s Vineyard chairs, Sunflowers and sunshine everywhere, while the string quartet played some sweet music.
The day raced on and we just couldn’t slow. it down. We had a walk through the forest, down to the lake and later over to the glorious beach.
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.
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.
