We’re delighted to share a collection of our favourite photos created by Amber and Andrew’s Norton House Hotel wedding photographer.
Bride and Groom pre-ceremony preparations
On arrival, Jonathon and I made our way to the Ratho suite where the atmosphere was laid back as our stunning bride Amber, her sister and her Mum sipped champagne as the make-up artist, and hairstylist added their finishing touches.
Seeing Amber so relaxed and enjoying such a special morning with her family was lovely.
Before long, it was time to head over to Andrew’s room for detailed photos of the groom and his best men getting ready.
Andrew was full of excitement and in high spirits.
He looked every inch the handsome groom in his navy blue, slim-fitting three-piece suit.
The boys joked about wearing suits on such a warm day – I mean, it must have been 30 degrees that day!
But they handled the heat well and didn’t seem too flustered!
Humanist ceremony in the Garden Suite
Guests arrived at Norton House Hotel and went to the fabulous Garden Suite, where Andrew and his best men greeted them.
The Garden Suite at Norton House Hotel Edinburgh is a “stunning contemporary room in the Victorian walled garden” – the perfect setting on a perfect day.
Guests chatted and mingled as they enjoyed a quick refreshment before taking their seats in preparation for the ceremony starting.
Surrounded by family and friends, Amber and Andrew tied the knot with a beautifully personal Humanist wedding ceremony by Karen Dickson.
Amber was a stunning bride with an ivory, figure-flattering fishtail wedding gown, delicate lace, and crystal detailing.
Guests beamed happily as they exchanged wedding vows and became husband and wife.
Amber and Andrew walked hand in hand down the aisle of the Garden Suite to the sound of their guests clapping and cheering in delight.
Drinks reception and newlywed photos
Now, with a glass of champagne, the newlyweds were congratulated with hugs and kisses from all their guests.
Then, everyone went outside for fabulous group and family shots.
Afterwards, guests had the opportunity to mingle and soak up the sun.
In contrast, Amber and Andrew had their stunning newlywed photos taken in the beautiful grounds of Norton House Hotel Edinburgh.
Wedding meal and evening celebration
Guests were called to take their seats again in the beautifully decorated Garden Suite.
Chairs with navy bows, vases filled with gorgeous fresh white roses, love heart shaped tablet and bespoke wooden name cards, all added that extra special touch to the table settings.
Guests enjoyed a delicious wedding breakfast of carrot and coriander soup, chicken supreme with puy lentils and to finish, a rich chocolate tort with mango and poppyseed coulis.
A short comfort break followed, and it was straight into evening celebrations.
The night kicked off to a rapturous affair as Amber and Andrew made their grand entrance into the Garden Suite to cut the cake.
Their cake was super fun, a three-tiered square with marble effect icing.
And on top? Of course, the bride and groom are doing some weight-lifting, and Jack is by their side on his iPad!
It was the perfect cake for our newlyweds and a sure sign our gorgeous couple don’t take life too seriously and are always up for a laugh.
Amber and Andrew then shared their romantic first dance as husband and wife before being joined on the dancefloor by all their guests.
The evening was filled with love, dancing and giggles, and little Jack got the best view from sitting on Andrew’s shoulders!
Amber and Andrew, thank you for letting us be your Norton House Hotel wedding photographer.
We loved every minute of photographing your special day.
