A Magical Wedding at The Vu, Bathgate – Aleshia & Jordan's Unforgettable Day | Kris Soul Photography
Looking for an award-winning wedding photographer in Edinburgh with a natural, relaxed approach? Let me take you behind the scenes of one of the most beautiful weddings I had the pleasure of capturing — the unforgettable day of Aleshia & Jordan at The Vu, Bathgate.
The Perfect Start: Bridal Preparations at The Village Hotel Edinburgh
The day began in the heart of Edinburgh, where Aleshia and her bridal party got ready at the stylish Village Hotel. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, laughter, and those beautiful, candid moments I love to capture as a natural wedding photographer. The attention to detail was impeccable — from the delicate accessories to the flawless hair and makeup — setting the tone for an elegant day ahead.
Arriving in Style: Classic Luxury Cars to The Vu
Aleshia's journey to the venue was nothing short of spectacular. The bridal party was picked up in stunning classic luxury cars, adding that timeless touch of sophistication. As they made their way to The Vu in Bathgate, the excitement built — and what an entrance it was!
Water Lily Ceremony Room at The Vu
The ceremony took place in the Water Lily, the iconic floating venue at The Vu, surrounded by the serene beauty of the lake. Aleshia arrived in style, with the open roof of the car adding that movie-like moment as guests looked on in awe.
Jordan waited with anticipation as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. The love between them was undeniable, and capturing those natural, emotional moments is what I do best as a relaxed, unobtrusive wedding photographer in Edinburgh.
Stunning Couple Portraits on The Jetty
After the ceremony, we took advantage of the breathtaking views at The Vu's famous jetty. It was the perfect spot for an amazing, natural couple session, where Aleshia & Jordan could take a moment to themselves, laugh, and soak in the joy of their day.
These candid, authentic portraits are what make my style stand out — no forced poses, just real moments and genuine connection.
Group Photos, Heartfelt Speeches & Celebrations
The celebrations continued with fun and relaxed group shots, followed by heartfelt and hilarious speeches that had everyone laughing (and maybe a few happy tears too!). The energy and love from family and friends filled the room, making the day even more special.
Unique First Dance with Magical Lighting
As the sun set, Aleshia & Jordan's first dance took centre stage — and what a moment it was! With stunning lights creating a magical atmosphere, they shared a dance that reflected their love story perfectly. It was a beautiful, intimate end to a day full of joy, love, and unforgettable memories.
