Autumn Wedding at Kirknewton House Stables | Kirsten & Connor
“We cannot thank Siobhan enough for photographing our wedding day. She captured such incredible shots whilst making us feel so relaxed and natural. Everyone commented on how discreet she was from beginning to end. From our first meeting to emails in between, Siobhan has gone above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and prepared for the big day. I couldn’t have asked for better pictures that we will cherish forever. Siobhan - you are such a lovely, talented person and I will be recommending you to all of my family and friends!”

Autumn Wedding at Kirknewton House Stables
I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful autumn wedding for Kirsten and Connor at Kirknewton House Stables just outside Edinburgh. As I arrived at the venue, I was blown away by the beauty of the location. The rustic stables were adorned with stunning floral arrangements in shades of orange, red, and pink that perfectly complemented the autumnal theme. The couple decided on rustic decorations, including sentimental photos, which added a personal touch to the event.
The morning began with Kirsten getting ready with her girls at the stunning bridal preparation suite. I was able to capture some beautiful candid shots of Kirsten as she had her hair and makeup done. The atmosphere was full of excitement and anticipation, and I could feel the love and support from her bridesmaids. As they shared stories and laughter, it was clear that Kirsten had surrounded herself with her closest friends on this special day. After Kirsten put on her beautiful Kavelle wedding dress, it was time for one of the most emotional moments of the day- Kirsten's first look with her dad. As she stepped out, his face lit up with a huge smile on his face.
Kirsten took her dad’s arm and they made their way down the aisle towards Connor as the string quartet played softly in the background. The celebrant, Duncan Fleming, had crafted a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured the couple's love for one another. One of the most touching moments was when they participated in a hand-fasting ceremony, signifying their commitment and bond.

After the ceremony, I took the bride and groom away for some couple photographs in the beautiful grounds of Kirknewton House Stables. The foliage was filled with autumnal colours, offering a stunning backdrop for the intimate portraits. As we walked around the grounds capturing the special moments between the newlyweds, I could feel the love and happiness radiating off of them. Connor and Kirsten were beaming and their joy was contagious, making for some truly magical photos.
As the sun began to set, the guests made their way into the main hall for dinner. The tables were decorated with beautiful autumn coloured flowers, tying in perfectly with the theme of the day. The couple's naked wedding cake was a stunning focal point, adorned with delicate flowers and their names as the cake topper. It was then time for the speeches, always a great opportunity for capturing priceless reactions from the couple's loved ones.
After dinner, it was time for the party to begin. The evening reception was filled with lots of laughter and fun times with family and friends. The cutting of the cake was a special moment that was celebrated by everyone, and the couple was beaming as they shared their first dance as husband and wife. The band, The Rays, played a variety of hits that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long.
