Kathryn and James's Melville Castle Wedding

Kathryn and James were introduced during the early days of the pandemic. The two of them spent hours on video calls during the first lockdown, discovering they had so much in common and falling in love before they even had the chance to meet in person. Kathryn is from Canada while James is Scottish - their wedding incorporated traditions from both. Their elegant day took place at Melville Castle, not far outside Edinburgh. With refined old chestnut trees, a wooden footbridge and a fountain full of waterlilies, I can’t imagine a more romantic spot for nuptials.

Joanne and Neil's Greywalls Hotel Wedding

Joanne and Neil’s ceremony took place at the same parish church where the bride’s parents married, followed by an intimate wedding reception at the stunning Greywalls Hotel in Gullane, East Lothian. As a gardener, getting to photograph some romantic, relaxed portraits around Greywalls’ flowering gardens was a dream come true for me. And we lucked out with the most gorgeous, sunny day!

Ashley and Fraser's Balmoral Wedding

Ashley is from Arizona, Fraser is from Scotland. While they already married in the US, many of their UK family and friends weren’t able to attend the wedding because of the pandemic so the couple decided to come to Scotland for a second celebration. The wedding celebration took place at the Balmoral Hotel in central Edinburgh. I was super excited to get up on the roof for the amazing city views and then we went to Princes Street Gardens as well for more portraits. Ashley and Fraser enjoyed incorporating some traditional Scottish elements into the big day, like drinking from the quaich, a bagpiper entrance and a handfasting ritual. I had the best time spending the day with this lovely pair!
