🌟 The Love Story of Fion & Shaun. 🌟

These two gorgeous humans first me in 2017 at the Belladrum Festival - the air filled with music, festival vibes, and maybe just a little liquid courage! 🍺 🍻
Whatever it was, something clicked! ❤️
Within a month, Shaun asked Fion on a first date, the chemistry was undeniable. 💫

From then, they became inseparable - spontaneous adventures, weekend getaways, and eventually, moving in together ❤️
They adopted their two dogs, Murphy and Bonnie, 🐾 and welcomed their children, Lyla and Sandy, into their lives.👩‍👩‍👧‍👦

Fast forward to their first family holiday to Portugal. 🇵🇹
Shaun had a plan - well kind of....
With an engagement ring 💍 secreted away in his wallet, he just at the right moment managed to surprise Fion with the most perfect proposal. After a little joking sarcasm from Fion, through happy, excited tears, she answered with a resounding yes!
As an officially engaged couple, they popped open the champagne 🍾 to celebrate with their loved ones. 😍

In their wedding ceremony, they said vows over a handfasting that symbolised not just the physical binding of hands but the deep connection and commitment they share. As Shaun and Fion 'tied the knot' it was clear that what really mattered to them was to cherish the deep love and commitment they have in bundles. ❤️

To seal the promises they made to each other, they went on to share a drink from the Quaich, confirming their pledges to love, honour, and respect each other forever.

Here is to a lifetime of laughter, love, and adventure together! 💖
All the very best to Shaun & Fion!.💕

🌟Jessica & Thomas: A love story worth sharing. 🌟

It all began in year 7 at Trinity School, Newbury.
Jessica, bold as ever, asked Thomas out during IT class - only for him to turn her down so he could focus on his studies! 📚 Fast forward to year 8, andyhanks to the persistence of Maid of Honour Hannah, they "officially" became a couple. 💖

First impressions? Well, Jessica was drawn to Thomas's confidence, his quirky tie knot, and those unforgettable eyes. 💘
For Thomas, it was Jessica's beauty, sass, and kindness that stole his heart.
From school days, Waitrose shifts, and study sessions, their bond blossomed into something extraordinary.

Since those early days, their careers have flourished - Jessica as a talented food stylist and Thomas thriving in banking. Yet, despite their professional achievements , it the moments they've shared that they hold as their greatest treasures. ✨

Their adventures have taken them far and wide, from road tripping a Ross Europe in a packed Fiesta to riding horses in Argentina and road trips along the NC500.🚗

At home, their lives are filled with laughs, pesto pasta nights, and the unconditional love of their cockapoo, Bumble, who firmly rules the house. 🐾

When Thomas proposed, it was quintessentially him: heartfelt and unassuming. In the carpark next to Mount Snowdon, after a rainy hike with Bumble, he presented Jessica with a ring that wasn't just chosen - it was lovingly crafted to reflect their unique story and the life they've built together. Jessica, through happy, emotional tears, said yes to forever. 💍 😍

Jessica and Thomas's love is evident in the way they look at one another, the way they laugh together, and happily weather life's up and downs as a team.

At Boath House, surrounded by their dearest family and friends, they take that love even further, pledging their hearts and lives to one another in a bond as unique as the ring that started it all. ❤️

Here is to Jessica & Thomas and all the adventures yet to come. ✨

Fantastic to work with the team at
As always , sheer pleasure to work alongside

🎉 A beautiful day of love, laughter, and celebration at The Drumossie Hotel, surrounded by their dearest family and friends🧡

Suzie and Andy's wedding ceremony began with a lighthearted reading of "Marriage" by their friend Ross, reminding everyone of the balance, joy, and occasional madness that makes love so beautiful. 😍

💍 Their love story started 18 years ago, with a first date at Pizza Hut followed by a movie (the title long forgotten!). From visiting Spain to cherished moments with their four adorable Toy Poodles, 🐩 🐾 Suzie & Andy built a life full of love and joy. 💖

💞 Andy had proposed many times, but it wasn't until Suzie, inspired by the preciousness of life, was ready to say yes. Together, they chose the perfect rings and started this new chapter as - husband and wife. 🥰

In a beautiful Celtic tradition, they shared a drink from the Quaich, sealing their promises to love, honour, and cherish each other forever. ❤️

They exchanged vows, rings, and heartfelt promises:
Suzie promised always to be there for Andy. ✨
💖 Andy vowed to stand by Suzie whenever she needs him.

📜 To finish, they shared a poignant ready, "On Your Wedding Day," celebrating love, commitment, and the adventure of marriage. ✨

💕 Suzie & Andy's love is inspiring, and their day was as magical as the bond they share.
Wishing them both a lifetime of happiness and joy together. ✨

Thanks to the team.

🌟 Achnagairn Castle - where love stories turn into lifelong adventures. It was at Achnagairn, surrounded by family and friends, that Eve & Lewis celebrated their love and commitment by becoming husband and wife. Not only was it a union of hearts, but also of stories and families, woven together into something truly magical. ❤️

From a fateful Halloween party to building a loving home with Digby, their beloved and cherished Dachshund. 🐾 Eve & Lewis's journey is one for the books, and now, they're ready to write the next exciting chapters! 📖 💖

Their love story began with a proper meeting at a party, a reconnection at Johnny Foxes, and a first "romantic" meet-up in .... the Matalan carpark! 😂
Sparks flew, and in no time, their first date at the Beefeater set the stage for a love that has since evolved into "Cafe One" elegance....how far they've come - and it's only just the beginning! 🌟

From Amsterdam adventures - despite Nana Barbara's memorable concerns about "s*x & drugs!" to late night TV marathons where nobody stays awake! 😂
Eve and Lewis have built a life full of humour, warmth, and shared experiences, and we did hear for one of them, learning the mysteries of closing cupboard doors has been a particularly memorable milestone! 😀

Together, they've turned their house into a home - a place of laughter, love, and unwavering support.
In Achnagairns ballroom, Lewis and Eve celebrated not just their incredible journey so far, but the beautiful future they're continuing to create! ❤️

Here is to Eve and Lewis and all the amazing chapters of their love story to come! Champagne 🥂 🌟

As always great to work with the Achnagairn team, & Walter Geddes 😃

🥰 Michelle & Gary's Love Story🥰

Well, their love story started in the most unexpected place - Sainsbury's car park in Garthdee, Aberdeen! Forget romantic cities; these two locked eyes near the recycling bins, proving love truly, can blossom anywhere. Gary, full of confidence, struck up a conversation, got Michelle's number, and within a week, they were on their first date.💫
Sparks flew, and their connection only deepened. 💖

Over the years, they've built a life full of love, laughter, and adventure - family holidays, scenic trips to Glen Affric, and even some hilarious moments - like their run-in with the police in Cologne! - Theyshare a warm home with Jake and their wild but loveable dog, Luna. 🐾

When Gary proposed during a walk in their favourite woods near Banchory, it was the perfect reflection of their journey - natural, heartfelt, and full of love. ❤️ And that Lord of the Rings inspired ring... a beautiful nod to their shared passions and adventures ahead.

Surrounded by the stunning back drop of Glen Affric , in front of family and friends, Michelle and Gary began their next chapter. With tartans representing their families tied in a traditional handfasting, they celebrated their love, a love unique and so beautiful . 😍

Here is to a couple who prove that love is found in the most unexpected places, grows with shared moments, and thrives laughter and adventure. 💕

💫Eilidh & Thomas: A love story to remember. 💫

So we all know Thomas proposed, and Eilidh said yes! But every love story has a back story, and theirs is filled with so much love, laughter, and love.❤️

For these two, it all began in the breathtaking Scottish countryside, where local lassEilidh met Thomas, an adventurous visitor from Ess*x. Sparks flew, and when Thomas returned home, distance only deepened their bond. Across countless social media messages, it felt like they'd known each other forever. ✨

Unable to resist the pull of Scotland - and Eilidh's smile - Thomas made the move, starting a life together that was anything but ordinary! Their first holidays were a series of (mis)adventures: a lock down, a stole wallet, and even a nudistbeach (an accident - according to Thomas!) Through it all, they found humour and teamwork, proving they could handle anything life threw their way.💞

They planted roots with a fixer-upper home, filling it with pets (fish, cats, and guinea pigs!) and transforming it I toast warm haven. 😋 In the kitchen, they discovered their shared love of cooking, whipping up culinary creations and finding joy in the little things - like walks along the beach in search of dolphins and history filled castle visits. ❤️

The proposal? Well, it was pure romance 😍 At the Castle Howard lake, on Eilidh's sister, Anna, who lent him a treasured family ring that once belonged to their late grandmother, Noreen - a beautiful symbol of love and legacy.
Choosing a quiet bench, they sat together, and then Thomas asked Eilidh to marry him. Her response? A fit of joyful giggles - a spontaneous, heartfelt "YES!"

At Loch Ness Country House Hotel, they celebrated their incredible journey and the start of an exciting new chapter surrounded by their most loved family and friends. 🧡

Thanks to the fabulous team at
Brilliant as always to work alongside
Wonderful to hear singing while the marriage schedule was being signed.

✨ A love story that sparkles like fireworks. ✨

Ross and Neneh's wedding day wasn't just about exchanging vows - it was a celebration of their incredible journey, full of laughter, adventure, and love! ❤️

In a ceremony rich with tradition, they said their vows over a handfasting using tartans from both families exchanged wedding rings while saying their legal declarations, and sealed their pledges by drinking from the quich - a true reflection of their unity and commitment. 😍

Their story began under a sky bursting with fireworks on Bonfire Night, where fate (and Ross's relentless smile) brought them together. Their first date almost didn't happen due to Neneh's flu, but even though she was a wee bit under the weather, the spark between them shone bright. 🎆

Fast forward to a hilariously memorable 13-kilometer trek in Ibiza (blisters and all), countless Munros climbed together, their first home, and a life full of shared adventures, including the arrival of their beautiful baby.

Ross's romantic proposal on Pen y Fan - despite swarms of flies! - was met with happy tears and a very entertaining enthusiastic "YES," cheered on by a group of hikers who witnessed the moment. 💍

From that November night to their wedding day, a day filled with love and joy,their story is proof that the best journeys are shared, even when they come with a few surprises along the way. 💞

Here is to Neneh and Ross! 🍾 🥂

Thanks to the Drumossie Hotel team.
Always great fun and so easy to work alongside & Walter of

Heather & Grant. ✨
How it started, well it began at a friend's 18th birthday party when Grant turned to Heather with a grin and said - "The good news: I really like you. Bad news: you'll have to put up with me!" 😍

Fast forward to 2023, in Thailand: after a day filled with markets, elephants 🐘 and bamboo rafting, Grant was ready to propose! 💍
Rose petals led the way to the big moment, and Grant held out a beautiful engagement ring and asked Heather if she would marry him! 😍

Heather, overcome with emotion and in floods of happy tears - and later confessing to barely registering Grant's words -😄 she did answer with a delighted and thrilled 'YES!'

From 17 countries travelled to this unforgettable milestone, their best journey is just beginning. ❤️

Here is to Heather & Grant's next bjg adventure -
- marriage 💝

As always a real pleasure to work alongside the team at and two of my favourites & . 😃

Nicole & Gary 😍

This couple's love story is proof that even the simplest moments - like a hilariously bare Christmas tree - can spark something extraordinary. 🌲

It all began in December 2020 when they swiped right!

After some lively chats, Gary shared a picture of his Christmas tree - a tree so undecorated Nicole couldn't help but offer to "rescue " it! Armed with a box of decorations, she transformed that sad tree into something festive, marking the start of their beautiful journey. 🎄 (P.S. A parking fine and a Domino's pizza also played key roles! 🍕

From that first laugh-filled meeting, they hit it off. Nicole thought Gary looked cute in his Christmas jumper, while Gary was struck by Nicole's selflessness and kindness. From awkward first family dinners (hello, ordering food you "hate" by accident! 🤣 ) to spontaneous meet the parents' moments, Gary and Nicole's bond just grew stronger with each shared experience. 😀

Their love story has taken them from pandemic getaways to their first home in Elgin and, most importantly, to welcoming their daughter Blakely, in 2022 - a true joy and their greatest achievement. ❤️

💍 The engagement: In April 2022, outside the breathtaking Edinburgh Castle, with the castle lights glowing and a good dose of nerves running ghrough his body, Gary got down on one knee asked Nicole, "the big question" Nicole completely surprised but absolutely certain said "YES." 🌟

Fast forward to their wedding day, and this couple have woven their story into every detail - from the tartans of their families used in their handfasting to sealing their vows by drinking from the quiche.✨
Their love is authentic, their bond unshakable, their journey inspiring. 💕

Nicole & Gary - proof that even the humblest Christmas tree can lead to the most beautiful love story. 😍

As always great to work alongside the team at the and also Mark from

Amy & Sean. 💕
Every great love story has a beginning, and theirs started during the first lockdown with a swipe to the right!

Amy asked all prospective suitors to provide her with an interesting fact. Sean's quirky fact - "Did you know frogs use their eyes to swallow?" - instantly stood out, sparking hours of conversation until they could meet in person. 😃

Their first date? A magical stroll through Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, where laughter flowed and a natural effortless connection blossomed. 🌹🌹

Amy knew from the moment she saw Sean at Haymarket Station that she was going to marry him...her gut feeling never lets her down!
Despite a nervous "pinky finger hold," sparks flew, and Sean, struck by Amy's radiant smile, thought to himself, "Don't mess this up!" Spoiler: HE didn't! 😍

Fast forward to shared adventures around Scotland, hunting for quirky stories in Glasgow's Necropolis and building a lush indoor jungle in their cosy flat. 🪴 🌿 🪴
From whisky tasting to unconditional support during Amy's journey to becoming an Art & Design teacher, they have built a life full of love and laughter.😃

At Bogbain Farm, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Amy and Sean celebrated the next chapter of their love story. 🌟 💖 🌟
With heartfelt vows and a symbolic handfasting using Quinn tartan representing Sean's heritage, they tied the knot - literally and figuratively - united as partners, best friends, and soul mates. 🥂 ❤️ 🥂

As always lovely to work alongside.

Stuart proposed, Indie said yes - simple right? But we all know there is always a back story! 😍

These two marvellous individuals first crossed paths in 2011, working at the St Ola Hotel in Orkney.
Stuart quickly realised he had feelings for Indie, but she had no idea...until a little twist of fate and a twinge of jealousy led Stuart to boldly claim, "I'll take you out for tea!" ☕️ 🫖
Their first date at The Lynfield may have been a bit 'fancier' than Indie expected - cue Stuart joking, "I should have taken you to the chippy!" 🍟 🤣 - But that date marked the beginning of something very special. ❤️
From Inverness getaways to unforgettable concerts including AC/DC 🎸 Indie and Stuart built a life full of music, laughter, and adventure. By 2017, they had their first home, and soon, their family grew with the arrivals of Signey, Marcus, and their four-legged baby, Maney. 🐕 🐾 🐾

When Stuart proposed it was perfect - Christmas Eve - a beautiful tree with the kids playing around it, and Stuart holding out a gorgeous engagement ring.💍 Indie was completely surprised, but she didn't need to think twice about her answer it was a resounding YES! ✨️

At Clava Mains Stuart and Indie celebrated their love story and boy, are they looking forward to all the adventures that are yet to come their way! 💖 🍾 🥂

As always it was great to work alongside Michael Carver Photography and the team at Clava Mains. 😃

Tamara & Paul tied the knot and became Mr & Mrs Reid. 💘

💫 It all started in 2015 at work, Paul was a hilarious "chancer," with the ability to make everyone laugh, and Tamara loved it. And Paul, well, he thought Tamara was WAY out of his league - and yes, she could make him blush on sight! 🤣

Fast forward a year, and Paul finally asked her out. First date? Dinner at the Rajah followed by a "friendly" bowling competition - except Paul's love for winning never took a break, this was a game to be won... first date or not! 😁 🎳

Over time, they packed in the memories from meeting each others families to sharing their first holiday abroad together to Portugal. Now that holiday, let's just say cocktails + hot sun + "creative" sun sreen application = Paul's body sunburnt apart from the areas covered in sunscreen which just happened to be Tamara hand shaped! 😃 ☀️ 😃

Two years ago, they moved in together, joining an "IV3" country girl and an "IV2" guy under one roof - with of course a certain Black Lab named Dougie, who clearly wasn't giving up his spot in Tamara's heart! 🐾

Then came the proposal... Paul planned a dreamy picnic at Dores Beach, with a hidden photographer 📸 (shout out to Birnie in the gorse bushes!) capturing the moment. When Paul popped the question - Tamara said a massive, happy, and emotional"YES!" 💍

During their wedding ceremony, they exchanged vows over a handfasting using lengths of MacDougall tartan for Tamara's heritage and Dress Gordon tartan for Paul's - symbolising the joining of their families. 💕

Tamara and Paul - here's to love, laughter, and forever adventures. 🥂 💖

Dachshunds were by far the most popular dog guests at weddings I’ve performed this year, from ring bearers to little icing figurines on cakes, they are such brilliant wee dogs to have included in your big day💒Here are my three on the beach, lots of running around mad, barking and digging holes by Matilda, Frida & Sophia. ❤️
It does the heart so much good to know three wee rescue Dachshunds get so much fun from something as simple as a walk along a beach. 🤗
