For my first wedding of a busy October last year, I was out at the very fabulous Mansfield Traquair for Katy & Eddie’s big day. I mean, take a look at the shots below guys at this venue…stunning :-). And set right in the heart of Edinburgh too.
I think it’s fair to say that most couples book me due to my “laid back” (if that’s the right word) approach to wedding days. You’ll never hear me barking orders or using a megaphone (trust me, I’ve seen it!). I’m a more of a “in the background” kind of guy (almost ninja like), looking out for those “moments” throughout the day that really capture what the day was all about, and every wedding day is about different things.
Sure, there is a point in the day where we will take some time for a few family group shots and a short bride & groom shoot but it is only “short” – the general running order of weddings in this country usually dictates that there’s not much more than an hour to get everything done, if that. But that all suits my very observational approach anyway, so all is good with the world :-).
So guys, back to the wedding. The shots below are my take on it all and boy, didn’t everyone just have a blast…just look at those dancing shots…and this was only the start of the evening! And how could we forget the speeches with the puppets…you had to be there!
Katy & Eddie, thank you very much for choosing me to shoot your fabulous day. Here’s a few of my favourite shots which I hope you all like…PS – best viewed on a desktop (click on any thumbnail to view L A R G E!).

Looking for some “Ninja Style” Wedding Photography?
I love shooting weddings and, for the most part, I adopt a “ninja style” low key approach to the day! Most couples tell me they didn’t even notice me for the majority of the day and that suits me…it is your wedding day after all, not a photo-shoot! But, I will always make time for those important family group shots and also, a relaxed bride & groom shoot and here, it’s my aim to provide you with some truly amazing pictures…not just your standard stuff :-). To know more about my wedding day approach to how I shoot weddings, just click here.
