Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh Wedding – Emma & Craig

The Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh is always a special place to me, my great grandparents lived on Inverleith Row. I spent a lot of time as a child at the gardens and it holds a lot of fond memories. It was a joy when Emma and Craig asked me to photograph their gorgeous and intimate day, perfect in every way.

Emma and Craig met at primary school (their families shared with me a few photos of the day they first met!!) and met again in their early twenties. They became friends at first, realising soon after that there was more than a friendship they fell in love with each other getting engaged in 2019.

Emma got ready at the Raeburn Hotel, it was a relaxed morning with just her and  JD Bridal Hair and Make Up. She chose a stunning bohemian vintage dress from Those Were The Days and paired it with green cowboy boots.

They chose an intimate wedding with their closest friends and family beneath the ancient redwood trees at the Royal Botanical Gardens to mark their 12 years together as a couple. Agonistic celebrant Onie Tibbitt to conducted their ceremony, with a warm and personal feel reflecting their own views and values and said personal vows to each other. They also chose a hand-fasting which is a celtic tradition from which the term “tie the knot” comes from.

They shared a toast with their friends and family at the Botanical Gardens before heading to the Raeburn for their meal in the private dining room.

Thank you for having me photograph your stunning day!
