Intimate Spring Wedding at Leuchie Walled Garden in East Lothian | Hayley & Richard
EAST LOTHIAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
As the wedding photographer for Hayley and Richard's special day at Leuchie Walled Garden near North Berwick in East Lothian, I was truly honoured to be a part of such an intimate and personal celebration. The day began with bridal preparations at the bride’s home before we made our way to the venue.
OUTDOOR LEUCHIE WALLED GARDEN WEDDING
Their wedding took place in the springtime, and Leuchie Walled Garden was alive with vibrant flowers and greenery. Hayley and Richard chose to have a humanist ceremony outside, surrounded by their closest family and friends. It was lovely to work alongside Claire Watt again who conducted the most beautiful service. A string quartet played music as Hayley walked down the aisle with her brother.
The atmosphere was filled with love and joy as Hayley and Richard exchanged their vows and committed to a lifetime of happiness together. It was clear to see the strong bond between these two.
Immediately after their ceremony, their guests lined up as Hayley and Richard walked through a confetti tunnel - always great fun to photograph! They also wanted some group shots of their family and friends in attendance as they’re such a nice memory to look back on.
Leuchie Walled Garden has so many amazing spots for wedding photographs, I loved exploring with the bride and groom and making use of all the grounds from the rustic brick walls to the tree-lined woodland paths. Their beloved dog, Bailey, was also in attendance which added a sweet touch to the occasion. I love when dogs are able to be a part of the day!
The reception was held in the garden before entering the tipi for dinner, which added a rustic and charming touch to the celebration. Hayley and Richard put a lot of effort into incorporating DIY and craft elements into their wedding, and it really paid off. I loved their wedding favours, little individual plants adorned with ‘let love grow’, which their guests could take home.
As the wedding photographer, it was such a pleasure to capture all of the special moments of the day. From the joyful tears during the ceremony to the dancing at the reception, I was able to document the entire celebration for Hayley and Richard to look back on for years to come.
Thank you, Hayley and Richard, for choosing me to be your wedding photographer. It was an amazing day!
A lovely testimonial from Richard and Hayley:
“Siobhan photographed our wedding earlier this year and was genuinely the highlight of our day. She is incredibly talented and every photo, was perfect, it spoke our story and captured us and our guests exactly the way we wanted. We had our dog with us too and she was great at keeping her entertained and in check for those special moments.
We were so thankful to have found Siobhan last minute and she is so lovely. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is detailed focus, SO organised and one of the friendliest people I have met – even when our first meeting was on the wedding day itself! I felt I knew her already. I can’t believe how amazing our photos turned out.
Thank you again and to anyone considering booking Siobhan, do it – you won’t regret it.”
