Here are a few of my favourites after a quick flick through the photographs from the day.
More will follow on my main website in a couple of weeks.
A fine Spring day greeted us at Prestonfield House just south of the city centre. Full of history, this is a remarkable venue and the service was of the very highest standard. At the last minute the ceremony was switched to the gardens as it was such a good day.
Graham and Craig looked pretty chilled out. I love the chance to photograph a Scottish wedding; to be surrounded by kilts is a return home for me.
The outside venue; shaded by trees but with a lovely view of the surrounding gardens and Arthur's Seat.
Claire and Graham had chosen a humanist celebrant (legally binding in Scotland but not England) and it was a very simple, friendly ceremony.
The wedding was sealed by 'fasting the hands'. This is an ancient tradition (but a first for me) where the bride and grooms' hands were tied with material from the kilt and wedding dress and the materials ended up tied together - hence the phrase "to tie the knot"
Ailsa, Lois, George and Robbie kept us entertained throughout the day. Great fun!
Off to Edinburgh's George Hotel for the ceilidh. The King's Room at The George is surely the finest big room in the city.
Claire and Graham's first dance was an Orcadian Strip the Willow. It meant everyone could join in and it was a lovely original idea.
Thanks to Claire and Graham for having me at your wedding. Thanks to all the guests for making it such a fun, friendly day.
Best wishes
