Laura and Andy got married at St. Phillips Church in Joppa. This is the same church as Laura’s grandparents, parents and sister got married in. They had the church full of friends and family and music. One of Laura and Andy’s friends had composed music especially for them to walk in to and it was played by a band made up of friends. They then took to the beach, got the photographs taken (wow it looks like abroad) and then to the Apex on the Grassmarket for the reception and lovely views.
The stunning pictures are taken by Idil Sukan of Draw HQ. Thank you so so much for letting us use them to share. Idil is one of Andy and Laura’s friends from Edinburgh University. Her photography is usually promotional work for the entertainment industry but she also shoots events and weddings. Andy is an actor and comedian and he and his friends often use Idil’s amazing photos to promote their work. He’s one of the team that make up Showstopper! The Improvised Musical which will be on at the Gilded Balloon during the Edinburgh Fringe this year.
Laura, her mum and her bridesmaids helped with the flowers on the day. And they look amazing.
I think it would have been very special for Andy and Laura’s guests to come from London and get such a true Edinburgh experience to be by the seaside and then in minutes in the stunning old town in a modern building with a view to The Edinburgh Castle.
Laura’s dress was a ruched chiffon dress with buttons down the back and guipore lace cap sleeves.
We also made the bridesmaids dress for Laura’s sister, she wore a teal chiffon dress with sleeves.
Laura was an absolute joy to work with and discuss Architecture and dressing idea requirements with. I hope I get to catch up at the festival.
Laura says: “Thank you so much for all the work you and your team put into both of our dresses. We absolutely loved them and it was so nice to have dresses which suited our body shapes so well. I had so many compliments about the dresses on the day and since the wedding and have been recommending you any friends who’ve got engaged recently!”
