“Park Hotel Peebles” Wedding / Margaret & Neil

OK good people, time to share with you another of the fabulous weddings I shot last year and today, I’m delighted to be featuring Margaret & Neil’s big day at the Park Hotel in Peebles that I shot back in October. This was my last wedding of a pretty hectic post summer schedule before I had a few cheeky days away in sunny Kos prior to the final run in for the year.

As usual, my day started off with the bridal prep shots at the venue (and a few with the guys too) before heading along the road for the ceremony at Peebles Old Parish Church. The forecast for the day had predicted a lot of rain around, which was clearly evident during the morning, but somehow it just stopped just long enough for everyone to get along the road to the church without getting drenched – happy days!

Post ceremony, it was back to the venue for the rest of the day although sadly, our luck with the weather ran out for a time forcing us to do the small list of group shots indoors, but that certainly didn’t dampen the spirits, as the pictures will testify to! And, who knew, we did actualy manage to get back outside later on for two short couple shoots, one before and one after dinner with amazingly, even a wee bit of sunshine!

Such a fabulous day! And, as usual, I’ll let the pictures tell the story …

Margaret & Neil, thank you very much for choosing me to shoot your amazing wedding day! Here’s a few of my own favourite shots which I hope you all like.

The Pictures


Like what you see … want to book me?

If you’re getting married (or know someone who is), then you may just like my “ninja style” (a couple’s words, not mine) 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!

My style is very unposed, unfussy and focuses more on documenting your day rather than directing it. Minimal group shots (or even none at all if you prefer) and short couple shoots allow you spend more of the day with the people that matter and have a total blast!

For the past two years, I’ve been recognised by the WPJA as Scotland’s top ranked wedding photojournalist, so you know you’re in safe hands :-).

I’m mainly taking bookings now for 2025 & 2026 but do still have some limited availability for this year too … but I do now only shoot one wedding per weekend so dates can be very limited during peak times. So do get in touch asap guys to check my availability.
