Graeme Brown Photography & Video

Anna & Bryan Thomson’s wedding at the Minto Hotel in Edinburgh was a great day, they even managed to get a break in the miserable weather so we could get outside to the garden for loads of photos. Anna works in a bridalwear shop, where a number of our other clients have been getting their dresses recently apparently, and she looked absolutely stunning. Bryan scrubbed up alright too!

Thanks for inviting me to photograph your wedding, here are some of my favourites from the day: View full post »

Next wedding of the year was at a venue I have visited many times – Norton House. It was the first time I had been into the recently completed extension, and the rooms are absolutely stunning. Jon and the team ran a great event for Lily & Pete, especially with the challenging weather – snow one minute, sunshine the next – threatening to mess up the schedule.

The day started at Lily’s father’s magnificent 200 year old Georgian house in Colinton – Spylaw Bank House – with the usual scenes of organised chaos typical of every wedding, before we all moved to Norton House itself for the ceremony & reception.

With many of the guests having traveled from England it was a pleasant surprise to see so many kilts in evidence, and both families & friends seemed to have a great time.

Here are a few of the images from the day, please feel free to leave us a comment.

Sue & Ally got married at Garvock House Hotel in Dunfermline on Saturday, which meant I had to leave Anna & Catherine working at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange Wedding Fair and shoot their wedding. It was also the first time in a while I’ve been to a wedding on my own as Callum who normally carries the gear & assists me was appearing in a show along the road in Kirkcaldy (which I went to see on Thursday night).

Australian bride & bridesmaids, Scottish groom, Best Man from New York, not to mention guests from all over the world too – this was a truly international wedding! Borthwick Castle is as Scottish as a castle can be, with 600 years of history and a view to die for. The wedding was expertly run by Gail and her team, with Chef Scott doing the honours in the kitchen providing a traditional dinner of soup, haggis, the best roast beef I have ever had, and pavlova. Evening entertainment was a local ceilidh band followed by a disco, and when Callum & I left the party was in full swing!

Had an excellent day at the Edinburgh Wedding Show today, our new Custom Wedding Book is proving really popular. Hello to everyone who came to see us today, especially the couples who booked with us at the show – Jennifer & Alex and Laura & Gary.
