The day of photography began with Catriona’s bridal preps at her parent’s house, a home filled with warmth, love and merriment as the girls enjoyed getting ready together.

Catriona looked a vision of beauty in her dream dress, with delicate lace detailing and a timeless silhouette that took everyone’s breath away as she walked down the aisle to Ross.

Standing at the altar, Ross couldn’t take his eyes off his beautiful bride, united in matrimony, surrounded by their family and friends.

Post-ceremony, everyone moved to the wedding reception at the Dalmahoy Hotel, a charming 18th-century Baronial manor house with the perfect canvas for capturing timeless wedding photography.

After the fun and hilarity of the joyful confetti shower, the newlyweds mingled with their lovely guests in a fabulous drinks reception that filled the air with laughter and happy chatter.

Later, we took Catriona and Ross on their newlywed photoshoot on the beautiful grounds of Dalmahoy Hotel.

Steeped in history and surrounded by rolling countryside, the Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club is a timeless venue near Edinburgh, perfect for a magical wedding reception.

Initially built in 1725, this grand baronial manor exudes elegance and charm.

Once home to Scottish nobility, its storied past is reflected in its striking architecture, featuring turrets, grand fireplaces, and ornate details that evoke a sense of romance and tradition.

The beautifully manicured gardens, ancient woodlands, and tranquil lakes create breathtaking backdrops.

Whether you’re capturing romantic moments against the golden glow of sunset or timeless portraits by the stately facade, Dalmahoy offers endless opportunities for beautiful photography.

Inside, the venue combines historical charm with modern luxury.

From the elegant Dalmahoy Suite, with its floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views, to the opulent Edinburgh Suite, with its regal decor, the spaces are designed to host unforgettable celebrations.

In summer, the lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and warm light enhance the venue’s beauty, delighting outdoor photos and drinks receptions.

The expert wedding team ensures every detail is perfect, leaving you free to soak in the magic of your day.

With its rich history and idyllic setting, a wedding reception at the Dalmahoy Hotel is a dream setting for couples seeking romance and grandeur.

Moments like these are an absolute joy to capture. These lovebirds couldn’t stop smiling, and we loved every minute of capturing their love, their connection palpable in every frame.

A wonderful evening of celebration followed in the Dalmahoy Suite, which had been beautifully decorated with elegant floral arrangements. Twinkling lights created a dreamy ambience.

From candid moments during the speeches to the joyous laughter on the dancefloor, every one of our photos tells Catriona and Ross’ story of the celebration of love and happiness.

Catriona and Ross’ wedding celebration at the Dalmahoy Hotel was a true testament to the timeless beauty of traditional weddings, and we were honoured to be a part of their fantastic day.
