Jude & Matt - Mayfield Salisbury Parish Church & The Signet Library - Edinburgh wedding photography

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We're really getting into the festive spirit thanks to Jude & Matt's stunning winter wedding.

Our day began at Jude's family home, where the champers was flowing and the girls were feeling very relaxed and happy after chilling at The Scotsman Spa the day before. We took the opportunity to get some lovely detail shots, while having a good chat too.









Jude's dress was elegant and timeless - and she looked absolutely breathtaking.





Over at the church, Matt was looking very suave. And apart from an incident with missing (and then multiplying!) ties, all was running smoothly.








We love the moment when the groom sees his bride for the first time...






How gorgeous are these girls? The bridesmaids looked awesome in their midnight blue gowns, each with their own distinctive style.





Then it was on to The Signet Library, where we managed to steal Jude & Matt away for some photos...








We had some stiff competition, but at least we had the height advantage.




The reception venue looked incredible.




We always love working alongside Planet Flowers, and they really excelled themselves on Saturday.




The guests were given a beautiful bauble as a wedding favour.




After a delicious meal, it was time for the speeches to begin, and they all were fantastic.







And soon it was time for Jude & Matt to hit the dancefloor as husband and wife.





Jude & Matt - It was an honour to photograph your special day. We know you'll be very happy together and look forward to showing you the rest of your photos. Until then, enjoy your sneak peek!

Zoe's Trash the Dress shoot (feat. Wullie)

Zoe was the lucky winner of our Trash the Dress competition and she opted to brave the November weather for this fun shoot.

She's no stranger to facing the elements in order to get great shots. We photographed Zoe & Wullie's wedding at Fintry Kirk & Monachyle Mhor back in May, and 'sideways rain' was the best way to describe the weather that day!

We got some gorgeous, atmospheric photos on their wedding day, but thought it would be great to head back to this stunning area on a blue sky day. Which meant, of course, that it was freezing!

Here are a few of our favourites from the shoot...










Behind the scenes. Zoe had a pair of awesome silver Hunter wellies. Jay didn't...




We ended the shoot with fish & chips and a cup of tea at MHORfish in Callander - just what we all needed to warm up!

We'd like to say a huge thanks to Zoe & Wullie for being such stars. We hope you'll agree it was worth it!

Thanks also to Zoe's mum, Catherine, who was a fabulous assistant during the shoot and who was incredibly supportive of the trashing concept - so much so in fact that she entered Zoe in our competition!

Jenni & Neil - Fettes College - Edinburgh wedding photography

Remember Jenni & Neil? After our fantastic pre-shoot with these guys back in July, we'd been so looking forward to photographing their wedding.

We knew Jenni would make a stunning bride, and we were bang on the money! She and her bridesmaids got ready at her family home in East Lothian, and there was lots of laughter and a few (happy!) tears.








Meanwhile, Neil & the boys got ready at Channings before heading over to Fettes...






and they were looking seriously good too...





We loved all the little personal touches, including the way Jenni & Neil incorporated photos from their pre-wedding shoot into the big day...





The team at Fettes were fantastic, and there was no way their bride was getting wet!





Jenni was piped down the aisle to Highland Cathedral. We love how proud and happy her dad looks in this photo.





And the look on their faces when they saw each other for the first time says it all.




The chapel at Fettes is stunning, and the service was both touching and humorous in equal measures.





Then it was time for some group photos, including this one of the gorgeous girls.




And then our favourite part of the day, the couple shots...







And have we mentioned how stunning Jenni looked?




Meanwhile, the guests were being entertained by close-up magician Kevin McMahon. We thought this was a really great idea.






Soon it was time for a wonderful meal.



Which was followed by fantastic speeches...





It's always great when the best man produces photographic evidence...





Jenni & Neil's first dance was simply incredible...we can't believe they only had four lessons (shows how bad at dancing we are)!






When Callanish hit the stage the guests were totally up for some dancing.






And we just couldn't resist a few last photos of the gorgeous bride and groom...






Jenni & Neil - What an amazing day! Thank you for inviting us to get to know you and your wonderful friends and families - we had a blast. We look forward to showing you the rest of your photos when you get back. Give our love to NYC!
