Gilmerton House Wedding Photography, East Lothian

What you don’t know from looking at this picture is that Maral (the bride) is actually sitting on my jacket so her dress wouldn’t get dirty. Yep, folks, that’s the kind of customer service you can expect when hiring this guy—and to be fair, it was my idea.

Yes, I know, I haven’t posted much for a while—actually over a year in my case. The thing is, I’ve been out photographing weddings, spending time with amazing couples, catching Covid, playing indoor balloon tennis, and well… I haven’t had much chance.

So I thought I would finally dust off the old WordPress blog and kickstart documenting my wedding adventures again.

Here is a wedding I shot back in October of last year at the beautiful Gilmerton House in East Lothian, possibly my favourite in the region. This post is a great place to start, featuring possibly two of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met, let alone photographed on their wedding day. This is exactly the kind of energy I aim to capture in Gilmerton House Wedding Photography East Lothian.

Two words come to mind when I think of Maral and David’s wedding at Gilmerton House: heartfelt and emotional. Like so many others, they were originally planning a big venue with all the bells and whistles, but after the virus that shall not be named kept making it less and less feasible (Yep! Fancy words), they went for a smaller and more intimate occasion.

The best thing about smaller, intimate weddings that most couples don’t know beforehand is that they are just as good as a big ol’ hootenanny. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the photos and see for yourself.

Make sure you scroll down to the very end to see a list of all the amazing wedding suppliers who helped make this day so special. Plus, a big shout out to all of Maral’s bridal DIY efforts, like the paua shell bling shoes—YES! 🤩🤩🤩—and the surgical towel clip for doing up the back of her dress. I know what you’re thinking, but it’s okay… they’re Dr. people… I hope.
