Cameron House Wedding - Amanda and Davie

Cameron House Wedding


Our wedding was a trip back to our favourite venue for a Cameron House Wedding. Amanda and Davie had come up from the Scottish Borders to tie the knot on the bonnie banks and brought an intimate party of friends and family to join in their celebrations. Its not often that they hold weddings at Cameron House held in the Drawing Room, in fact, I think this was the first time. The service, conducted by the ubiquitous Rev Miller, was extra hilarious due to a slip of the tongue by the ministers. When discussing the number of colours available for bridesmaids dresses he inadvertently replaces replaced the 'L' with an 'R' when he mentioned a Dulex Colour Chart......

Even without this mishap it was a fun filled day as pretty much all the guests gave Dave some good natured ribbing about his tendency to fall off his motorbike. Even to the point its was suggested that the mini bride and groom on top of the cake were totally inaccurate, because the grooms motorbike was upright.......

Davie took this and the photography (which he was initially a little reticent about) in his stride. Amanda looked beautiful with a dress with not only showed off her slender frame but which was also practical for a cool February day. A really nice couple with a really nice set of friends on a really nice day. Lovely stuff !

Carberry Tower Wedding - Jimmy and Kathy

Carberry Tower Wedding


We kicked off 2013 with a wonderful Carberry Tower Wedding, over in the Lothian area. Jimmy had come 'home' to Scotland to get married as he and Kathy now live in Macau. However Kathy discovered that Scotland is a little further from the equator than Macau the brittle cold of a Scottish winter was something of a shock for her. Furry boots, thermal underwear and stick on heat pads were the order of the day!
We started the photography in some luxury services apartments in Edinburgh with Kathys bridal preparation before making our way to St Peters in Musselburgh. There we enjoyed a lovely, sometime emotional, ceremony before making our way to Carberry Towers.

This is the first time we had visited this venue and my goodness, it was fantastic! We were really impressed with the excellently kept grounds and the space and opulence inside the building was stunning. I do hope we are back shooting another Carberry Tower wedding soon. Kathy and James looked simply wonderful. James in his kilt looked every part the Scotsman back at home and Kathy.......well as you can see from the pictures she is a very beautiful bride. If I couldn't make a good job of her pictures then I really don't deserve a camera !!

Both Kathy and Jimmy and both families were absolutely wonderful to work with and everyone, despite the cold, pulled together to help make a wonderful atmosphere and terrific day. I hope now that Kathy has witnessed a Scottish winter she will one day come back and enjoy a Scottish summer. Although if summer 2012 was anything to go by.....perhaps not!
