Has your wedding day been? Is it still to come? For those that have had their big day do you remember this feeling? After months/years of planning the day FINALLY comes. You go through the motions and it dosent really feel real. Surrounded by all your favourite people from different parts of your life all under one roof. People you love from 10 years ago sitting/dancing/talking to people from your life from 2 years ago, even 30 years ago. It’s weird right. The day is a whirl wind as you go from getting ready, to the ceremony, photos, drinks, everyone’s excited to talk to you and your trying to get round everyone. Then speeches, dinner, more chatting then the first dance. Then it hits. The day has a sound track. Your relationships song. It hits. You are dancing with your best friend, your soul mate, your life partner (also the person statistically most likely to kill you but let’s not go there) and it hits you. The most powerful sledge hammer of emotions. Utter happiness hits. You are surrounded by all your favourites, listening to your song and dancing with your world. It may not have got you at this moment on your wedding day but it did on mine. It’s a unique kind of happiness. I had done well up till this point in the day but as Jamie and I danced to Op shops ‘one day’ I looked around at everyone standing around us and I cried. I was unbelievably happy. Watching James and Toni dancing to ‘hello sunshine’ by the super furry animals I could tell this was the point it hit them too. Tony’s face said it all. She almost couldn’t contain it. Uncontrollable happiness. It made feelings from my wedding day come rushing back watching them. I also saw it again on Saturday at my beautiful friend/sisters @kirstenabel2 wedding as they danced their first dance. If you haven’t had your wedding day yet you might understand when the times comes and man you’ve got a lot to look forward to! It’s a special kind of feeling and I’ll remember it forever! #happiness #myfavouritepeople

Just as we are about to loose the light of the day, with the quite hum of their loved ones on the dance floor inside, they steal a quiet moment. “Where there is love there is life." — Mahatma Gandhi #crearweddings #scottishweddingphotographer

I don’t get to photograph wedding in Edinburgh very often. I’m all over the country all the time photographing in a variety of different places which is amazing however it’s lovely to go back in Edinburgh where I was a students at Edinburgh Art school. I photographed Brandon and Eda’s wedding @thesignetlibrary. Eda is from the states and it’s always a buzz listening to family members from over seas talk about Edinburgh. The excitement and wonder regarding the buildings and city around them. Eda and Brandon has a first look and we wondered around the city before the wedding. This isn’t a classical wedding photo but I loved the contrast of the old buildings creeping behind the new architecture, something Edinburgh manages to combine well. Brandon and Eda I’m just finishing up your images and I can’t wait for you to see them! #edinburghweddingphotographer #scottishwedding

Martin + Ali got married on the white stand on the beach @crear_weddings surrounded by their closest family and friends. this was the moment they walked down the aisle and off the beach right after their ceremony. Filled with happiness, hope and love. They had known each other since school and now, after many years of highs and hard lows they were married. One of the loveliest weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. If you love the Scottish wilderness, stunning beaches, incredible food, atmospheric surroundings and friendly people you should consider @crear_weddings for your venue. It’s all kinds of perfect. #scottish_fold #scottishwedding

““Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun douth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.” William Shakespeare Ali + Martin your images are finished and uploading into a gallery as I type. On their way to you shortly! ❤️#scottishweddingphotographer #crearweddings

That feeling when you know all the planning, all the months of work and stress have come together and you’ve done it. You walk out as husband and wife! Nailed it! Craig + Nicole did just that. They got married @thebyreatinchyra Nicole is an interior designer so as you can imagine all the styling from the table and room decor to the flowers, bridesmaid dresses and her own dress were amazing! I am in love with this wedding! #inchyrabyreweddings #scottishweddingphotographer
