Happy Belated Anniversary to @kirstymclean1988 and @scagtrendy who tied the knot last year at @glasgowengineworks 💖
Kirsty was one of the coolest, realest girls I went to school with, and it was a pleasure to play a part hers and Christopher's special day and to bring their beautiful family together 🥰
Their friends and family gave one of the most raucous cheers for them - there was so much love and laughter in the room! 🥳🙌🏼 Unforgettable ✨✨✨
Hope you had a great weekend celebrating 🥂💕

Look at this gorgeous content captured by @socialbridesclub of Reece & Thomas's special day at @boclairhousehotel earlier this month! 😍
Double tap to show them some love! ❤️
I started off with the stunning poem, 'Love Like a River' by @whitneyhansonpoetry which I am OBSESSED with 🥰🌊
Then I shared the story of how they fell in love, which began with a swipe ➡️ and a GIF of the Mrs Doubtfire pie-face scene! Their connection was instantaneous, which was only reinforced when they met in person.
They fast become each other's solace, though they were long distance for the first couple of years. When they moved in together they went from strength to strength, R supporting T working through COVID and T supporting R's change of career, allowing him to excel 💖
Their house became a home when T brought Harry the tortoise into their lives, and by that, I mean, deluxe and later upgraded enclosure 🐢💕✨
Lockdown made them think about the bigger picture, and they decided to cement their love in marriage 💍💍
I shared the reasons they love each other the most before they tied the knot with a Handfasting 🤝🏼❤️ then they exchanged vows and rings before I pronounced them Mr & Mr Bell-Bunning 🥰🥰
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! 🥂💕

Staying warm by looking back on this beautiful summer's day when Holly & Bruno said 'I do' at @melville_castle ☀️🦊🌿
Double tap to show them some love! ❤️
I had the honour of sharing their love story, which began in Edinburgh when they met through mutual friends. They explored Scotland together, and then were long distance for a while until they decided to make a life together in Caledonia! 🏴💕
B took her back to South Africa and showed her all the places he went to growing up. And then he took her back to one of their favourite places in Scotland - the Pentland Hills, where he popped the question, surrounded by her favourite: highland coos! 🐮
I shared the 3 reasons why they love each other the most and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! 🥹💕
After they exchanged rings and vows, they shared their first drink as newlyweds from their Quaich 🥃
Here's to Mr & Mrs Marchand! 🥂

'We just got engaged - where do we begin?'
📋 Guestlist - who's getting an invite and how many people do you need to fit into your venue and feed?
💷 Budget - set an affordable amount that you wish to spend on your wedding day and if you can, set aside another small, affordable pot just in case you go over budget - and pray you don't get carried away! 😅🙏🏼
💻 Spreadsheet - list all the suppliers you'd like to have (make two columns: Allocated Budget and Actual Cost) and divide your budget amongst them. Keep this updated to make sure you stay within budget!
🔍 Research - stalk suppliers' social media to get to know them and understand whether they check all your boxes. Reach out for a visit/chat to confirm they're the right fit for you ✅

Are great resources too! 👀
✨ Prioritise - book the big 4 suppliers and consider:
1. 🏤 Venue
- Location/distance
- Capacity
- Accessibility
- Accommodation (if desired)
- Catering
- Any rules? (E.g. furry pals 🐶)
2. 💁🏻♀️ Celebrant
- What style/tone do you want to set?
- How much guidance do you want?
- How personal do you want the ceremony to be?
- Do you like the way they sound?
- Do you like them?! 😂
3. 📷 Photography / Videography
- What style do you prefer? (Stalk those profiles!)
- How comfortable do you feel with the person behind the lens?
- Do you need more than one shooter?
- How do they operate? E.g. formal/posed shots, reportage/in the moment shots, etc
4. 🎶 Music
- What do you want to evoke with your music? E.g. Bridgerton romance, Crazy Rich Asians drama, Hitched party time, or have everyone flying about for Strip the Willow?! 😂
- What's in their repertoire/playlist?
- Will they learn a song for you?
- When would you like them to perform? E.g. during the ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, evening reception
- Look for chances to see them live

Flash back to Danielle & Chris' stunning summer wedding at @trumpturnberryscotland
Double tap to show them some love! ❤️
How BE-A-UTIFUL are their professional pics by @isaaccraigphotography ?? 😍
Thinking back to our first couple of meetings, we just clicked straight away and I knew we were going to have loads of fun! It was great getting to know these two, and we could've kept chatting for ages!
On the wedding day, their mums started things off with a Candle Lighting Ceremony: one candle each to represent their respective families and to remember loved ones, then with the flames their mums lit, D&C lit their own candle, representing their marriage 🕯️🕯️🕯️
I shared the couple's love story which began with C giving D a piggyback in the snow from the club to the taxi rank! ❄️💕 From young love in their teens, they grew up together and enjoyed loads of gigs and holidays 🙌🏼🌞 they were blessed with their two kids, E & A 👧🏼🧒🏼 and became the ultimate power couple, working together to build a thriving business, giving them oh-so-important family time! 💖✨
I shared the reasons why they love each other the most and there was not a dry eye in the house 🥹
Then before the vows I shared a fitting poem called 'Union' by Robert Fulghum 💕
The kids joined in for the sand ceremony, with the mixed grains of sand never being able to be separated again, a symbol of their bond as a family ❤️
And before they walked back up the aisle as husband and wife, they each took a shot of love! (Tequila!!)
Here's to you, Mr & Mrs Lennon! 🥂✨

Throwback to Seona & Greg who married this Spring at the stunning @enterkine_country_house_resort
Double tap to show the couple some love! ❤️
We began with a Candle Lighting in remembrance of Seona's dad Patrick, and Greg's dad Andy 🕯️
I shared the couple's journey, which started at a hotel they both worked at, hilarious first impressions of each other 😳, continued with some rather bold flirtation on Seona's part 🤣🍑, a snow-sledging accident that led to their 'official' status 👩🏼❤️👨🏼, and a whole load of travelling and working together, and grabbing life by the horns!! ✈️🌍✨
I shared the reasons why they love each other the most ❤️ and then they tied the knot with a Handfasting 🎀 before taking their vows and exchanging rings 💍
These two are so down to earth, and are gorgeous people, inside and out! Wishing Mr & Mrs Watson all the best for their future together! 🥂💕

🇳🇴 N O R W AY 🇳🇴
This is what we got up to during our cruise to Norway!
The highlight was the Holmen Husky Lodge in Alta! 🐶🛷❄️ Where there were 125 Alaskan Huskies! All of them had their own personalities 😄💕 and I was so happy we were allowed to cuddle them haha! I was so excited I nearly cried 🤣🤣
It was -8°C at coldest but the snow was so lovely and powdery (not like the slushy sh*te we get at home 🙈)
However home was apparently better for seeing the Aurora B as it was too cloudy in the Arctic Circle at the time 🙄 TYPICAL 🤣
We learned that we do not like being at sea 🙈 75 knots for those in the know (was off the Beaufort Scale and apparently hurricane speed 😵💫) We were getting flung from one side to another when walking through the ship 🤣🤣 trying to catch our cutlery and glasses when having dinner haha! Sleeping was a challenge 😫
HOWEVER we made the best of it and Norway was so beautiful and the people were lovely, we'll be going back...by plane!!
Tips for anyone (groom or otherwise ✨) who is nervous about the posed session in front of the lens! 😬😎
