Lianne Mackay Photography Wedding photographer & story-teller of people in love. Based in Scotland, keen to travel! Hey there, I’m Lianne!

I'm a wedding and love story photographer who enjoys silly dancing and romantic stories. I'm known for pretty much living in cosy jumpers as much as possible, my big toothy smile and my hearty laugh. I have an unhealthy love for stationary and enjoy munching Thai food, listening to Bon Iver, watching Grey's Anatomy with my mum, art by David Fleck and getting outdoors to escape the hustle & bustle

of the city, with my handsome musician man in our little Postman Pat mobile (it's an old red VW Polo Estate and we love it). Most days you can find me either out exploring my beautiful Edinburgh/Scottish home land, working at my cute little home desk or curled up on the sofa with a good book or movie (nearby there'll be a cup of tea that is most likely to still be half-full having become cold before I finish it).

Ela & Michael’s wee wedding was an intimate and relaxed day with family & friends travelling over to Scotland to celebrate their love. We started with some calm morning preparations, romantic couple portraits around some Edinburgh spots ahead of their ceremony in the gorgeous Craigmillar Castle, then onto The Abbey for a super chilled dinner, heartfelt speeches and some epic dance moves on the makeshift pub dancefloor. Their day was such a lovely example of stripping things back in a way that felt so aligned with what they envisioned for the start of their next chapter and I’m so grateful I could be there to capture it for them.

My first visit to The Barn at Barra Castle was for Kirstin & Calum’s gorgeous celebration and what an absolute belter of a day we got! I shot this day on a mix of film & digital (see a previous post for the film scans, I’m in love!), and there were just so many moments of joy to capture. These two and their loved ones had such a soft & welcoming energy about them and a connection clearly deep-rooted in loving values and a warmth that filled the room.

Some gorgeous Autumnal light with Chloe & Mitch during their intimate wedding at Monkton House. Excited to share more from their day but for now here are a handful of my favourite portraits of them 🥰

We followed this stunning day with a wander through Glencoe where Chloe & Mitch shared some private vows between the two of them, to say the time I spent with these two was magical would be an understatement 🥹

• Duane & Matilda •

These two had a gorrrrgeous intimate wedding with their closest in Edinburgh. A city chambers ceremony followed by a wander through the city before heading over to Elliot’s for an intimate, private dinner. It was absolutely perfect.

I absolutely ADORE Matilda’s pink suit - it looked stunning against the backdrop of the city and the green exterior of Elliot’s.

A few wee candid moments from Laura & Ryan.
I was back at the stunning Broxmouth Courtyard for Laura & Ryan’s day in June.
A “forgetful” best man with a secret dog ring bearer, a crowd who were more than up for a good time (cue singing and dancing along to the dinner background music before dinner even started), speeches than ran perfectly to time and were the perfect balance of heartfelt and hilarious, a top-table just for two (love this idea!), a dancefloor of infectious energy, and a relaxed couple who floated through the day with ease, enjoying every minute.

With so many amazing weddings to share, I’ve been enjoying going back and reminiscing and finding fun throwbacks to share and mix in with this season’s couples.

Demi & Scott’s wedding at Cairn’s Farm Estate, nestled in Kirknewton just outside of Edinburgh, was an energy-filled day full of laughs from start to finish. Scott’s reaction to Demi walking down the aisle was one of my favourite moments from the day, along with all of the sweet moments they had with their daughter who was on flower girl duties. There’s something extra special about couples being able to have their own little ones present for their day, being able to have those memories with them around is just priceless.

Meghan & Alex’s stunning May wedding at Crayke Manor was a dreeeeam! Meghan told me that she wanted to be the most fun bride, and all the while truly being herself I can tell you she de-li-vered!! The energy of the day was high, the weather was perfect - allowing for an outdoor ceremony and first dance. Their energy was just emanating pure joy the whole day 🥹

PS. I regularly daydream about the bagels that Meghan & Alex shipped over from the US for me to try, which I then shipped with me to Berlin as I was flying out the next day. Somehow still 10/10 best bagels I’ve ever had.
