Civil marriage ceremony in The Alexander Suite
The girls arrived together for their wedding at Edinburgh City Chambers, very much in love.
They looked fantastic in their smart suits by King & Allen, with hair and makeup by MHM Styling.
They wore beautiful buttonholes by Narcissus Flowers that added a vibrant pop of colour.
Rebecca and Becky had planned for it to be just the two of them on their special day, with Melanie from MHM Styling and myself as witnesses to the marriage ceremony.
When the girls walked into the ceremony room, they were surprised to be joined by both of their Mums!
Holding hands throughout, ‘The Rebeccas’ exchanged marriage vows and rings.
The girls were beaming with happiness, and the room was filled with love and laughter.
Newlywed photos in the Old Town and Arthur’s Seat
After signing the marriage schedule and being announced as the new ‘Mrs and Mrs’, we took photos of the newlyweds and their Mums outside Edinburgh City Chambers before heading out to shoot a few photos nearby in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The girls looked radiant in the back of their Ecosse Classic car.
We went to Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat to shoot newlywed photos. The wow-factor view provided the perfect backdrop for some fabulous photos.
