The majority of my wedding photography is booked 12-18 months in advance, however, a couple of months ago, I recieved an email from Liepzig, Germany. Jacky & Christophe asked me if i could photograph their upcoming wedding at Lennoxlove House, just outside Edinburgh, on a Wednesday. Initially, I thought that it was a little dubious, but it soon became apparent that it was a genuine enquiry….I am so glad that it was, as I had such a great time with the couple! I speak next to no German, so it was a good job that the wedding party were fluent in English!
Lennoxlove House is a magical venue, set in acres of flowing countryside, miles away from anywhere…….even my Sat Nav couldn’t find it. Over the years I’ve learnt to take old fashioned paper maps with me as a back up!
German traditions such as the bride and groom meeting each other prior to the ceremony, combined with Scottish kilts and a pied piper gave me ample opportunity to grab some fantastic photos for the couple.
A preview of some of my favourite photos from the wedding at Lennoxlove House can be seen below:-

Cheers Chris. I’ve had the honour of capturing several Scottish castle weddings over the years, but I have to say, lennoxlove House is may favourite by a long way!
