The wedding between Michelle and Donald was not only a beautiful display of love, but a union of two cultures and families. It was especially touching to see the bride's family and friends from Mexico travel so far to be there, marking the first time they had met the groom's family. As their wedding photographer, I was honoured to capture these precious moments of two families becoming one.

On the morning of the wedding, Michelle enjoyed getting ready with her mum and bridesmaids at the beautiful Bruntsfield Hotel. The excitement in the room was palpable as they all helped each other get dressed and prepare for the big day ahead. Soon it was time to head to St Margaret's Catholic Church in South Queensferry for the lovely ceremony which was filled with touching moments and heartfelt vows. The historic church provided the perfect backdrop for the couple's nuptials. After the joyful celebration of their union, the wedding party made their way to Carlowrie Castle in the West of Edinburgh for the fun-filled reception.

Fairytale Carlowrie Castle Wedding

The sun was out in full force during the wedding reception at Carlowrie Castle, providing the perfect opportunity for guests to congratulate the newlyweds while basking in the warmth of the sun. The talented Jordan Murray played a wonderful acoustic performance, enhancing the overall ambience. While the guests enjoyed their fizz and canapes, I took Michelle and Donald away for photographs in the breathtaking grounds surrounding the castle. The joyful atmosphere of the day was only enhanced by the beautiful weather, making for an unforgettable wedding celebration.

Before dinner, speeches were given as both families expressed their heartfelt thoughts and sentiments about the newlyweds. The light and airy dining room had tables adorned with exquisite floral arrangements and miniatures of tequila, each wrapped in a tartan bow, which were a thoughtful nod to the couple's blended cultural backgrounds. After dinner, guests were treated to traditional ceilidh dancing, accompanied by the lively tunes of the Cora Band. It was such a pleasure to capture this wonderful day for Michelle and Donald.
