Bollywood Colour at Hopetoun House Hindu-Scottish Wedding

Imagine how cool this wedding was: Our Scottish groom, followed by his guests in colourful Indian clothes, dance across the gravel driveway of Hopetoun House towards the wedding ceremony, where guests of the bride’s family await, guarding the entrance until impressed enough by the groom’s party’s dance moves to let them in.

Judging by the amount of air he’s getting, the groom has been practicing his moves, though his wedding party have a way to go before the stables ceremony room doors will be opened. Sensing they may be losing their audience, the groom partners his mother to lead the group in some more familiar Scottish country dancing – The St Bernard’s Waltz.  It’s good, but not good enough…

A few relatives of the bride, wearing kilts, head off the advancing group to educate them on rolex datejust 116203sdo 36mm herren blaues zifferblatt austernarmband the standard of dancing required. As the British conservatism slowly drops, dance moves are replicated, crowds cheer, and the two groups of family and friends start to mix amongst the shared laughter and good times.

The doors to the stables are opened so the ceremonial entrance of the groom and his party can start ahead of the Hindu wedding ceremony blue raspberry lemonade vape juice with all it’s colour and tradition.

But that was only a small part of the day that also featured a traditional Scottish wedding.  Hopetoun House, just outside Edinburgh in South Queensferry maintains it’s reputation as one of the grandest wedding venues in Scotland, Heritage Portfolio still serve the best food this wedding photographer has ever been gratefully given, and Luke at the Edinburgh Film Company captured the whole thing beautifully.

I love this couple’s shoot in Edinburgh with Jenni & Stuart more every time I look at it. It’s the day before their wedding at Prestonfield and we’ve visited Edinburgh’s new town, old town, and the Shore in Leith to capture a mix of Roman Holiday inspired candid photos, and Wes Anderson looking portraits. Turns out we were all huge fans of Wes’ self aware style and they’ve worked it beautifully.

Take a look at Jenni’s The Blushing Bird store for more of her wedding style. She’s got great taste, so her Instagram account is well worth following too. You can also check out one of Stuart’s latest magical tricks from The Next Great Magician here.

In this couple’s shoot, my favourite photographs are sitting outside The Ship On The Shore in Leith where we were so convincing with our paparazzi approach to the candid lovers, we eventually gathered a small crowd of tourists keen to see who the celebrities were.

The Industrial look of the docks was a great contrast to the west end of Edinburgh go here with it’s regulated https://bvfactoryrolex.com/ Edwardian houses and grand pillars. But Edinburgh has many photogenic options so a finale on The Royal Mile in the old town gave us yet another romantic and stylish setting.

Take a look at the wedding photographs from the next day here, and you’ll see I loved working with this couple so much. You can’t beat a bit of Scotland’s capital for your photography. “Slange var” Edinburgh!
