Introduction

I was honoured to be invited to create Loren and Daniel’s Gladsmuir Church and Dalmahoy Hotel wedding photos.

Loren and Daniel were married in a Church of Scotland ceremony at exquisite Gladsmuir Parish Church, East Lothian. The celebrations were held in the wonderful Dalmahoy Hotel near Kirknewton, to the west of Edinburgh.

My photos are shared in the gallery below telling the story of Loren and Daniel’s beautiful wedding day.

Engagement photos at Gosford Estate

A few weeks before Loren and Daniel’s big day arrived, we met for a pre-wedding photoshoot at Gosford Estate in East Lothian. A few minutes in this gorgeous couple’s company and I knew their wedding day photos were going to look really special.

Bridal preparations

Coverage of the day began with photos of the Bridal Party preparations at Loren’s parent’s house in Tranent, East Lothian. Everyone was relaxed, the atmosphere was lovely, the excitement was building and everyone looked so happy.

Marriage ceremony at Gladsmuir Parish Church

Gladsmuir Church is only a few minutes drive from Tranent. I’d never been to this exquisite church previously though I’ve driven past it on many occasions. Daniel and the boys arrived and were in good form. Everyone was happy and having a laugh, no signs of any nervousness at all and a pleasure to photograph.

Beautiful Bride Loren looked radiant as she emerged from her chauffeur-driven car. A few photos of Loren, her dad and the bridesmaids then Loren was escorted into the church by her father.

The marriage ceremony was lovely, the minister was brilliant and really made everyone feel at ease. We did a quick confetti shower outside the church then everyone made their way to Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club, near Kirknewton in West Lothian.

The fair weather meant the newlyweds and guests were able to enjoy a glass of champagne outside while we shot a few photos of the newlyweds next to the golf course at Dalmahoy Hotel And Country Club.

Loren and Daniel were a pleasure to photograph and looked so happy to be together. I absolutely loved shooting their Gladsmuir Parish Church and Dalmahoy Hotel wedding photos. I’m sure you agree you can see everything which came together making this day so unique and special.

I look forward to returning to wonderful Dalmahoy very soon!
