Next wedding of the year was at a venue I have visited many times - Norton House. It was the first time I had been into the recently completed extension, and the rooms are absolutely stunning. Jon and the team ran a great event for Lily & Pete, especially with the challenging weather - snow one minute, sunshine the next - threatening to mess up the schedule.
The day started at Lily's father's magnificent 200 year old Georgian house in Colinton - Spylaw Bank House - with the usual scenes of organised chaos typical of every wedding, before we all moved to Norton House itself for the ceremony & reception.
With many of the guests having traveled from England it was a pleasant surprise to see so many kilts in evidence, and both families & friends seemed to have a great time.
Here are a few of the images from the day, please feel free to leave us a comment.

Sue & Ally got married at Garvock House Hotel in Dunfermline on Saturday, which meant I had to leave Anna & Catherine working at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange Wedding Fair and shoot their wedding. It was also the first time in a while I've been to a wedding on my own as Callum who normally carries the gear & assists me was appearing in a show along the road in Kirkcaldy (which I went to see on Thursday night).
Australian bride & bridesmaids, Scottish groom, Best Man from New York, not to mention guests from all over the world too - this was a truly international wedding! Borthwick Castle is as Scottish as a castle can be, with 600 years of history and a view to die for. The wedding was expertly run by Gail and her team, with Chef Scott doing the honours in the kitchen providing a traditional dinner of soup, haggis, the best roast beef I have ever had, and pavlova. Evening entertainment was a local ceilidh band followed by a disco, and when Callum & I left the party was in full swing!
Had an excellent day at the Edinburgh Wedding Show today, our new Custom Wedding Book is proving really popular. Hello to everyone who came to see us today, especially the couples who booked with us at the show - Jennifer & Alex and Laura & Gary.
Yes, it's Wedding Fair time again, although it seems like my feet have only just recovered from the last one!
Come and see us at:
Dalhousie Castle on Saturday 26th January
Scottish Wedding Show at Ingliston 2nd and 3rd February
Edinburgh Corn Exchange 16th and 17th February
We look forward to meeting you!
Ross & Christine's wedding photos are now available to view online in the gallery. This turned out to be one of the biggest collections we have ever done with almost 500 images in the proofs. It was the first time I had used the new Nikon D3 camera on a job, and the results are simply stunning. Don't take my word for it - check out the collection for yourself here. As always you can view the images online individually (click on the thumbnail for a larger version) or use the slideshow function to go the whole set. There is no obligation to purchase anything, but if you wish to buy any pictures you can place your order on the website and pay online.
We'd love to hear your stories from the day and what you think of the pictures, so please feel free to use the comments function below.
Four days into the new year and already I've shot two weddings .... it's going to be a busy year!
Christine and Ross, who we photographed a few days before the wedding in the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, got married yesterday. There was snow on the ground, quite a change from their usual place of residence - Grand Cayman.
Christine was transported to the church in great style by Fred Multon of Wedding Classics in a beautiful 1931 Sunbeam 20. I first met Fred in 1992 and it's always a pleasure to renew the acquaintance, particularly as I have a soft spot for old cars myself. The Wedding Classics collection is run by Fred's daughter Polly and consists of a variety of genuine vintage cars, all in fabulous condition. If you have yet to book your cars you must check them out.
The church was a first for me for despite being in central Edinburgh it is constructed entirely of wood! It looked absolutely stunning inside and out as you can see from the pictures. After the marriage ceremony and a few pictures outside with the children from Christine's former primary school pupils we moved on to the George Hotel for the reception who laid on a superb function with entertainment by surely the hardest working wedding band in Scotland - Callanish.
Special mention must be made of the superb cake, featuring scenes from around Grand Cayman. I've never seen an iguana on a wedding cake before! It was a fabulous piece of work.
A great time was had by all, though none more so than Christine and Ross themselves - they never stopped smiling throughout the day and photographing them was a huge pleasure. I was assisted throughout the day by my son Callum who did a sterling job of carrying all the bags and generally helping out wherever needed.
Christine and Ross are off to New York for their honeymoon, staying at the Waldorf in New York before returning to Grand Cayman to rebuild their tans & get back to work!
Here are some of my favourite pictures from the day - normally I try and limit this to about twenty shots, but with Christine & Ross's wedding there was so much going on that I couldn't choose. Enjoy the pictures, and please use the commetns function to leave us a message. The full collection will be on the gallery in a few days.
Happy New Year to all our friends & clients.
The last shoot of 2007 becomes the first post of 2008 - and the first to use our new slideshow too. Christine and Ross look happy don't they - they should do, they're getting married on Friday! They are both currently working in Grand Cayman, but are currently in Edinburgh for Christmas ... and their wedding, so we met up at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh for some pre-wedding pictures. My son Callum will be assisting me at weddings this year and it was a good chance to break him in gently, as well as trying out my two brand-new Nikon cameras (a D3 and a D300 for those that care about such things). Despite it being a miserable overcast day I'm very pleased with the results - it's going to be a great year.
You can view all the pictures from the photoshoot here and the full slideshow is here.
