THE WEDDING ALBUM: the morning (Part I)

Hello everyone!


Gosh, it feels like forever since I last sat down at my laptop to write a blog post. 

If you follow me on my Instagram you will know I recently headed off to Tuscany to marry my love. I have so much I want to share about the big day from the pre-day stresses to what was worth the cash and what was not, to help anyone that is planning their own wedding, but for right now I want to share the first of a little wedding album series. Just a few days ago, a very exciting email entered my inbox and it was none other than our wedding photos! I honestly couldn't believe it as I know most photographers in Scotland generally take 2-3 months to share images so with it only been two weeks since we landed back in Scottish soil the surprise was very real. 

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail as I want this to be more of a photo diary but what I will say is that the morning of my wedding was actually very relaxed, calm and enjoyable. I didn't have a huge amount of nerves ... more like an occasional bout of stomach butterflies. We drank champagne, got our hair and make-up done, listened to some chilled music and really just helped each other get wedding ready. That's one thing I loved about my wedding morning - there was no one in my room that didn't mean the world to me. My super talented cousin and best friend, Jill and Naomi, did the bridal party make-up. Then my sister and I helped all of the girls with their hair.  

P.S. we hired an Tuscan-based photographer for our wedding and I'm honestly so happy with our choice.  My goal was to have images that told a story and showed the day unfolding through candid shots and he captured this beautifully! Our photographer was called Francesco Spighi for anyone interested.

Santorini snaps


When I think about heaven on earth, there is only one place that pops into my mind and that's Santorini. Well, Santorini and a room made entirely of chocolate - but that's pretty obvious. Seriously though, Sanotrini is like no other place I've ever visited. Those dreamy sunsets I googled so much before jetting off were even more beautiful in real life. Every view is just, uh, there are no words...

In our short six days there we indulged in yummy food, watched an incredible sunset everysingle night (and a surprise sunrise after a rather late night out), went on a boat trip, hired quads and of course, attended my friends beautiful wedding. Santorini is so romantic and definitely a wedding hotspot!

I think I took around 700 pictures on my iPhone, no joke. But to be fair a lot of these were triple, duplicates, taken from a slightly different angle, with/without people or with a pout, smile or stickey out tongue. The reality of my iPhone photo gallery....

So I don't overload you with pictures I've cut it down to give a little peek at what we got up to during our week in Santorini.  Pictures from the good camera are coming soon and there may even be a GoPro video montage.
Arriving in Santorini 


The view from our apartments. We stayed at the Agnadema Apartments. which I would highly recommended! It was in the centre of Firostefani which I rate as the best spot to stay in on the island. 







On the days we missed breakfast (woopsie) we would head to Galini Cafe. Two minutes from our hotel, superb views and great food. 


A lovely dinner spot! Once again, the views were unreal.

The last meal. 

Going through all the pictures make me miss it so much. How has it been two weeks?!

Time to book another holiday...
