Anna & Fraser’s Snowy Wedding

In December last year I was delighted to be photographing the wedding of Anna and Fraser in a very cold and snowy Edinburgh. The reception was held in The Signet Library. I have to say that the Signet Library is a pretty stunning venue; breathtaking in fact – surely one of Scotland’s hidden gems. I love the way it has so many different settings; pillars and large windows, sweeping staircases and majestic halls. Lots of photo potential. Planet Flowers did beautiful work with the flowers and the room looked palatial. The ceremony was held down at the Holyrood Palace end of the Royal Mile in the historic Canongate Kirk which looked very Christmassy in the snow. It’s the venue Zara Philips has now chosen for her own wedding so you can tell it’s a “well kent” Scottish landmark. Picturesque it may have been but, at minus 5, it was no place to be dilly dallying in a wedding dress so it was quick dashes between the venues. Not many weddings have their own pipe band on show so it was wonderful to see the reaction of the guests as a full pipe band marched into the venue just before cutting the cake. Another thing I loved about this wedding was the photo frames that had been left for guests to pose behind. I have to thank Saskia for her sterling efforts in getting everyone to pose for me – and I think we got most of the guests looking like they’re having fun!

The photos can be found here and the password is Anna’s maiden name.
