We could not be more delighted with the pictures from our wedding day! They are all just wonderful. Right from the beginning, Jonathon made us both feel so comfortable and at ease - the whole process was a joy. He knew exactly what he was doing and was very professional yet warm and helpful throughout the day. I would highly recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film, together with our friends and family we were all incredibly impressed. Thank you!

Bridal preparations

Our wedding photography coverage started with the bridal preparations of beautiful Helen at Helen’s parents’ home on Edinburgh’s Southside.

In charge of styling Helen and her bridesmaids were Simon Hill and Mikey Becman.

The room had a lovely, relaxed atmosphere as we captured candid photos of everyone getting ready.

Ceremony at Mansfield Traquair

After preps coverage was completed, it was time to make the short journey across the city centre to Mansfield Traquair for the wedding ceremony.

Groom James and his best men were in high spirits and looking great in navy kilt outfits from McCalls Highlandwear as they welcomed guests.

We loved the classic car Helen arrived in. A beautiful silver Rolls Royce was the perfect transportation for our gorgeous bride.

Dressed in couture Suzanne Neville, Helen looked breathtakingly beautiful as she walked arm in arm with her proud Dad down the aisle.

Helen and James were married in a religious ceremony conducted by Minister Derek Lamont.

Celebration

Guests congratulated the newlyweds and enjoyed a fabulous drinks reception. It was fantastic to see everybody mingling and having a great time.

Helen and James were a dream to photograph as we captured their newlywed photoshoot at Mansfield Traquair.

An evening of pure celebration followed, with great speeches, love, laughter, and delicious food.

After cutting their cake, Helen and James shared their romantic first dance, and all their guests watched as they glided across the dancefloor.

Canongate Cadjers ceilidh band provided the evening entertainment, which went down a storm! We always love capturing the fun of a good old Scottish ceilidh.
