I Think That We'll Float...

This is one wedding that I was absolutely beyond gutted that I didn't get to be a part of... You see, I was only 11 days from my due date with Jones for this one, so we decided that it wasn't the best idea for me to head to Scotland to shoot a wedding. Nick and I have known Lucy for quite a while now - she and her sister, Cheryl, are the owners of Premier Wedding Planners, Scotland - the most high end coordinators in Scotland - these women are INCREDIBLE. They have brought us along on a few weddings, and we were so excited (and beyond flattered) when Lucy came to us to shoot photo and video for her wedding! Fast forward to 9 months pregnant, getting the photo part covered, and Nick heading up to Scotland (with all of us crossing our fingers that there would be no baby arrivals whilst he was gone...!), we were all experiencing a nervous anticipation for this one!

When Nick showed me the footage from this wedding, I was in tears! Everything was so beautiful and turned out perfect (duh), but the greatest thing of all, was how absolutely present these two were on the day. Their connection was electric - so much so, that even someone who wasn't there and had never met Andrew (me), could physically feel it. Just watch, and you will see exactly what I mean! I smiled with them, I cried with them, and I wanted to faint when I saw Lucy's hair and dress!

Still gutted that I wasn't there with them, but happy to report that baby Jones didn't arrive until the day after his due date. :) Can't wait to show you all the full film, which will have you even more emotional! Enjoy and a huge congrats to the Barrowmans!!

Catch My Vibe Tonight...

Jaime and Blake are just fun people - you know when you are around certain people, and you know that by association, you will end up on some kind of an adventure, or maybe even a little trouble...that's these guys. They grab life by the balls, and I like that. Jaime is also one of the funniest girls I have ever met, and I found it hard to do my job - I wanted to just hang out with her the entire time. Blake is a little more mysterious and quiet than Jaime, but they are a perfect match, and major props to Blake for his getting the girl tactics, and that Paris video...OMG.

So, this wedding pretty much rocked - destinations are always special, but it was just so cool to be in a castle on the banks of Loch Ness, watching for the famed monster, and dancing the night away. The rain fell, but no one cared. Oh, and for the record, anytime there is a Whisky tasting at a wedding, it is just rad.

Enjoy!

Shut Up And Dance With Me...

He saw her at a work function, and told her how HOT she was. She was like, yeah, whatever, dude with your Peppermint Schnapps (but she thought he was pretty hot too...). A year later, another work function, and Blake sees Jaime again, but this time, he wasn't gonna let her get away. He was so committed, in fact, that he followed her into the ladies room, and made out with her Top Gun style, like a boss. The rest is, as you say, history... They decided to make it official in a castle on the banks of Loch Ness - they professed their love, and danced the night away. It was perfect. Congrats, guys and hope to see you in Cayman one of these days!!

This Is Going To Be A Lot Of Fun...

Sanam and Dave's wedding was so much fun. First of all, how could the party NOT be next level amazing when you have Persians and Scottish involved? Everything about this wedding was beautiful and perfect - the dress, the locations, the people, the colours, the light… magical.

I feel really lucky that we get to go all over the world and be with people on such an important day or in some cases, days or even a week! We really get to become a part of the group and learn so much about the people we work with. We see the interactions between them and their dearest outside of the wedding, and not only do we walk away with love for our bride and groom, but love for their families and friends too. I can't think of a cooler job.

So happy to share this beautiful, super fun wedding with all of you today, and it makes me want to go back to Edinburgh stat!

Just Breathe...

When we first met with Sanam and Dave, we had breakfast. To be honest, there wasn’t much eating going on – it was mostly chatting and laughing. We knew it was a great fit, and that shooting their wedding was going to be really fun. It did not disappoint!

What was so cool about their wedding, beyond it being beautifully styled and in Scotland, was that it truly was the merging of two cultures - Persian and Scottish. They chose to have traditional aspects of each of their backgrounds, and it went together so well. When you think about it, none of us are really that different. Sure, there are differences in ceremony and in ways of celebrating, but when you really get down to it, everyone just wants to have fun! And let me tell you, Persians and Scotts REALLY know how to party!

We had an amazing time and got even closer to these two. We are so happy to have been there with them on such a beautiful, memorable day.

Great Scot!

Today, we share part 3 of Tamsin and Grant's fun-filled, traditional Scottish wedding at Pollok House in Glasgow! This time, it is my department, the photos! I won't say too much more than I love these guys, and I am so thankful to Ms. Katherine Ashdown for trusting us with her best friend's wedding. It was a true honour, and a beautiful day.
