Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, Edinburghwouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!Jonathon and Claire are the loviest couple.. from our very first communication they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours...
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.

Natural light floods in from the beautiful lunette windows.

At Christmas time, a splendidly decorated tree adds the wow factor.

The incredible mirrored, tinted-glass ceiling combines with the floor-to-ceiling Georgian-style windows to bathe the room in tranquil light.
The Gardens

Whether appreciated through the large, magnificent Georgian windows during the winter months or actively enjoyed for Spring and Summer weddings, these well-manicured gardens are a photographer’s delight, offering a unique, picturesque setting for your wedding.
In good weather, weddings can occur on one lawn, with an adjacent lawn available for your drinks reception.
Enjoy the drink of your choice with the splendid Georgian backdrop.
