Wow! What a wedding! Nicola and Neil were married yesterday at St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, followed by a reception at the Balmoral Hotel. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! Nicola looked STUNNING, in such a fantastic dress (once we’d finally managed to tie her into it!), as did the bridesmaids Lisa and Simone. The ceremony was lovely – St. Giles is the most gorgeous cathedral I’ve ever photographed – there’s something about the atmosphere in there. Nicola did so well, having to walk into the church with so many curious tourists looking at her and cheering for her – it was really brave! The Balmoral staff were superb! Special thank you to Louise Mee the Wedding Co-ordinator, who made David and I very welcome – she showed us around, suggested places for photographs, carried umbrellas and flowers while we were photographing, and really went above and beyond to ensure Nicola and Neil’s day went off without a hitch! Thank you also to Morris, the Master of Ceremonies, who was lovely to work with – it was much easier to arrange the group photos with his help! Nicola and Neil, you are such a great couple – and it is obvious you are made for each other. Thank you very much for including us in your wedding meal – the food was excellent and we had a lovely time meeting your friends and family. If yesterday is anything to go on, I am sure you will have a very happy marriage surrounded my much love and support from everyone in attendance. Below is a collage of some of my favourites (I had so many that I’ve had to extend the size of my collage!), the rest of the images will be available online on the 23rd August 2009. Have a great time on honeymoon, and I’ll speak to you soon!

Congratulations Kristin and Tom! What a lovely venue, a lovely wedding and a fantastic couple – officially the most chilled out bride and groom ever! It was great to photograph at Dalhousie Castle for the first time (special thanks to the wedding coordinator, Michelle, for showing me around!), it is such a beautiful venue, with so many places to have great photos taken, and a fantastic team of staff – everything went off very smoothly! It was a lovely ceremony – David and I smiled to each other as Kristin was piped down the isle to the same song that I was on our wedding day (Highland Cathedral). And the owl delivering the rings was really awesome! Thank you both for being such a wonderful, relaxed couple to photograph! Congratulations on your marriage, we know you’ll be very happy for many years to come! Here’s a sneak peek of some of the photos, the rest will be available online on the 15th August.

Today is my husband, David’s birthday. David is the ‘other photographer’ in Rebecca Holmes Photography, the guy who doesn’t really get the credit, and who doesn’t seem to mind – so I thought it was about time I paid tribute to him, and thanked him for all his hard work. David carries all the kit, sets up backdrops, entertains the children, puts up with my nagging, assists me during portrait shoots, the list goes on and on… He is an all-round amazing help and support. However, this isn’t all David does. Many people are completely unaware of the fact that my husband is a pretty damn amazing photographer. He photographs the men before wedding ceremonies (and provides them with support and perhaps a nip of whisky if necessary!), photographs a lot of the scene shots – beautiful pictures of castles and churches, and gets a lot of the candid side on action shots that clients love. It is wonderful to work with my husband – after all – that’s how we met. It is particularly nice to enjoy so many other people’s weddings together – and remember our own every time. Below is a picture of my wonderful husband and my gorgeous daughter, Isabella. Thank you, David for all your love and support – have a fantastic birthday! xxx
Where do little kids get all their energy?! I photographed Melinda and her son Aidan today – I want some of whatever super go-go-juice Aidan had for breakfast!!! We had a great time, and I got some great pictures of the two of them, even if Aidan needed a bit of persuading! Isabella stepped in for a minute to show him how it was done, and of course David had his transformers out for entertainment! Here’s one of my favourite pics, the rest will be available to view online on the 16th August.
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing my dearest ‘mummy-friend’, Lindsay, with her husband James and gorgeous son Euan. Euan is about a week younger than Isabella, and they have had many a play date already! I had an absolute ball photographing Euan – he’s such a happy and cheery baby with such a gorgeous smile (as you can see!). Was lovely to catch up with you Lindsay and James – see you all soon! xo
