Michelle & Nick - Apex International, Edinburgh wedding photography

We love it when people go out of their way to personalise their wedding day, and this was certainly the case on Saturday.

Michelle & Nick are great fun to be around and were determined that their guests, who had travelled long distances to be with them, would have a fantastic time at their Edinburgh wedding. And did they ever!

Here's a sneak preview of some of our favourite photos from the day...

Michelle's Charlotte Balbier gown was just stunning.




Spot the rings!





Michelle looked absolutely gorgeous...






And Nick was looking pretty good too (just wait 'til you see his shoes!).




A room with a view.




The ceremony was beautiful...






And was followed with a dance down the aisle!




Then it was out into the sunshine.





How great are these shoes? Love, love, love them!




Nick wanted a photo in the Grassmarket with his rugby mates, we love the guy on the right's dedication to beer!




The boys enjoyed their Abbey Road moment. We'd like to say the traffic waited patiently but one tourist just had to lean on his horn. Bet he wouldn't have if our bride had been there!




Michelle ran into the hairdressers to show them how she looked in her dress, it was really sweet. I'm making a cameo appearance in the window (where's Wally?).




Michelle used to make her granddad drive past Greyfriars' Bobby every time she visited him in Edinburgh as a child. This photo was top of their list!




We had so much fun photographing these guys...








One of our favourite cakes ever - Love hearts and Lego men, can it get any better than this?




The speeches were very funny...





And their little page boy was incredibly pleased with his Nessie gift!




And then it was time for the party to fully get underway...








Nick tests the vodka luge.




This sums the day up perfectly...




Michelle & Nick - We had a fantastic time photographing your wedding and can't wait to show you the rest of your photos. Have a wonderful honeymoon!

Camping on Skye - Scottish landscape photography

We're just back from a quick (and very wet) camping trip on Skye. This was our first visit to this beautiful island (disgraceful we know, but at least Jay has an excuse being Canadian - I don't!). It was made all the better by the fact that we were joined by Jay's little sister, Elyse, who has been visiting us for the past week before heading home to Ontario to start university.

Glencoe is always spectacular - we can't get enough of it. In this photo Elyse & Jay are hiding the fact they are being attacked by midges from every direction rather well.




After driving through hours of rain showers we got really, really lucky. The skies were blue as we drove across the bridge and this was the view that awaited us...





Elyse and I 'researched' the local brewery while Jay did his landscape thing...



Despite waking up yesterday to grey skies and a very soggy campsite, it was a lovely end to a fantastic week.

Have a safe flight home Elyse, we miss you already!

Lee & Paul - Solsgirth House, Scottish wedding photography

After viewing our blog, a friend recently asked if we ever photograph any weddings that aren't amazing. The answer is no, we don't. We are very fortunate to work with really fantastic couples who put so much time and thought into planning their special day and who really go out of their way to help us create stunning photographs.

Last Saturday was no exception. We'd been looking forward to this day since the very first time we met Lee & Paul, a year ago. Not only are these guys great fun, but they also have an impeccable sense of style, and we knew their wedding would be absolutely beautiful.

Solsgirth House is incredibly elegant, and there are so many great areas for photographs. Here are a few of our favourites...

Lee's dress was a gorgeous style and shape - she looked stunning.





Paul opted for a twist to the conventional kilt outfit and looked fantastic.




The all important rings!




It was touch and go with the weather, but Lee & Paul got the outdoor ceremony they wanted.








The wedding party were great to photograph.





And then it was time to make use of the house's stunning features to create some beautiful bridal and couple shots.











We got so lucky with the weather. It started to rain just as the guests headed indoors where they were treated to three excellent speeches.







We popped into the chapel with Lee for a few more bridal shots.




And then it was time for the dancing to begin...





Lee & Paul - We had a great time photographing your wedding and can't wait to show you your photos. In the meantime, we hope you enjoyed your preview of what's to come.
