Rachel Hein Photography- Wedding photography Dovecot Studios

Vivienne & Donald were married at the stunning Dovecot Studios on a very wet, wild and thoroughly dreich day in January. Thankfully the torrential rain let up long enough for Vivienne to make her entrance in her Dad’s beautiful vintage MG, which he’d restored just in time for the big day! Once everyone was inside it mattered not what the weather was doing outside, it’s such a lovely light and airy space, perfect for a Winter wedding.

The Dovecot is a former victorian swimming bath which has been transformed into a beautiful and totally unique gallery, event space and tapestry studio in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town. The ceremony was held in what is usually the weaving floor, you can just make out the looms hiding behind the screens at the back of the room! The mezzanine where the drinks reception was held is also a gallery space.

It was a really lovely relaxed day which is just what Vivienne & Donald wanted. The beautiful ceremony was performed by family friend and celebrant, the lovely Onie Tibbit and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when everyone sang All You Need Is Love, followed by The Carpenters It’s Only Just Begun ( it was good to have a camera to hide behind at this point!)
