Anna and Sandy’s wedding at Heriot’s School and the Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh
Anna and Sandy had chosen two beautiful locations for their wedding – a service in the chapel of Heriots school (where Anna had been a pupil and her mother teaches) and the Royal Botanic gardens. Transport between the two was a vintage VW soft top beatle, and the weather was kind enough to make the most of it!
As befits a couple who live in Paris, it was an international affair – I counted at least three languages being spoken during the course of the day.
And no wedding is complete without the best man (Sandy’s elder brother) doing his best to embarrass the groom!
There’s ten of my favourite photos here, and many more edinburgh wedding photos can be seen on the order prints page.
Peter and David’s Civil Partnership – photography from Edinbugh
Peter and David’s Civil Partnership celebration at Turmeau Hall in Edinburgh was certainly a day with a difference. Firstly, as they said, “It’s nay a wedding.” They’d been together for 25 years and the day was very definitely about celebrating their history together as well as their future.
They were surrounded by all their friends and family, and the atmosphere was joyous. The guests had been asked, during dinner, to don a mask (all made by Peter) and to stand up and tell a story about Peter and David, and the results were hilarious.
In fact, about the only traditional thing about their day was the ceileidh at the end!
Loads more photographs of the Cilvil Partnership celebrations can be seen on the order prints page.
Trish and John’s wedding at Borthwick Castle
Trish and John came all the way from Chicago to get married in one of Scotland’s historic castles. Borthwick Castle dates from the 1400s, and notable points in it’s history include Mary Queen of Scots spending her honeymoon there, and surviving a seige from Cromwell’s army. Oh, and it’s haunted too!
It was a perfect wedding venue for Trish and John and their guests from America. They didn’t even complain about the copious number of steps you have to climb from the driveway at the bottom to the Guardroom (doubling as the Chapel) at the top!
The organisation had been done by Yvonne at Scottish Wedding Consultants, so everything, naturally, ran smoothly and on time.
After a dinner at the longest table I’ve ever seen, it was time to dance the night away, although some just preferred to enjoy the sumptuous couches in the great hall!
There’s a few photographs below, and if you want to see more of Trish and John’s wedding photographs, they’re on the order page.
Triona and Jamil’s wedding at Dundas castle
What a fantastic day last weekend at Dundas Castle! Perfect weather, a glorious venue and lots of great guests and family members!
After getting married in the ‘Croquet Room’ Jamil and Triona headed to the lake and the boathouse for some photos – and while there and away from the gaze of their guests they practised their first dance.
Onto the evening entertainment, and that dance set the level for enthusiastic ceileidh dancing and a resounding finale.
Here are some of my favourite images, and you can see more of their wedding photography at Dundas Castle here.
Ricki and Eliot’s wedding at Dalhousie Castle
A beautiful day at Dalhousie Castle outside of Edinburgh, for the wedding of Ricki and Eliot. They’d travelled all the way from the USA, with a few friends and family, to celebrate their marriage in one of Scotland’s beautiful castles.
Everything went very smoothly, as you would expect with Yvonne from Scottish Wedding Consultants, organising the details! And Pipe Major Iain Grant was on his usual fine form, finishing his duties by asking Ricki is she’d ever kissed a hairy piper!
Interestingly (for me, anyway) Eliot’s sister read a poem during the service, direct from the screen of Eliot’s shiny new iPad! Now, I’ve seen fathers of the bride read their speach from notes on an iPhone before, but this was a first for me! My first iPad wedding….. sometimes I can be such a geek!
