Kim & James’ wedding – Hopetoun House, South Queensferry, Edinburgh

Elemental — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:01:37 +0000

Now based in Australia, Kim & James have clocked up a lot of air miles over the course of their romance. And while James’ homeland was the stunning setting for their wedding, Kim’s Dutch-Canadian heritage was also celebrated throughout the day.

From the traditional Dutch bike to the Glenmorangie vs Canadian Club favours (with a sprinkling of Norwegian national dress along the way), it was a fantastic day, full of international flavour.

P.S. Keep an eye out for the genius Jenga guestbook!

Kim & James – We loved all the personal touches you put into your big day, made even more special by the fact that you organised everything from so far away. We had a brilliant time photographing your wedding story & look forward to showing you more soon. C&J x

Mina & Dave’s wedding – St Mary’s RC Cathedral & Prestonfield House Hotel, Edinburgh

Elemental — Sat, 12 May 2012 10:16:13 +0000

Mina & Dave’s wedding day was full of surprises and fun touches, from the six-cylinder sports car Mina hired for Dave, to the masks and moustaches awaiting the guests during dinner. A phonecall during the speeches from Mina’s sister back home in Ireland, to pass on the wonderful news that she had just given birth to a baby girl, was the perfect end to a beautiful day.

Mina & Dave – Thanks for being so much fun to work with – we loved how into the photography you were! We hope you enjoy the preview, and well done on rockin’ the light graffiti shot! And Mina, those shoes were definitely worth the wait. C&J x
