We had a lot of fun at Carl & Amy’s pre-wedding photography session and the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. I was delighted when they said that they wanted their pre-wedding photography session to be in St Andrews – not only does St Andrews have a special place in their hearts so their photographs will have more meaning, it is a great place for photography with picturesque streets, the Cathedral, the beach and great views.
Carl and Amy first met at whilst studying at St Andrews University thanks to the universities tradition of ‘academic families’ where senior students ‘adopt’ newly arrived freshers and teach them about university life in St Andrews. It was a rainy ‘raisin’ weekend in November 2004 when Carl and Amy met for the first time at a house party, thanks to Amy’s academic dad, and Carl’s best man, Danny. Unfortunately though, Amy’s only lasting impression of Carl that evening was his yellow inflatable hat!
However, over the following months chance meetings led to Carl asking Amy out for their first date on Valentines Day and they became inseparable until Carl graduated in 2006. Throughout the next few years their relationship grew stronger despite the distance that their careers and travelling created and in 2009 Amy finally moved to England, only for Carl to start a new career in Edinburgh!
Carl eventually proposed to Amy in the only way he knew how, he got her a big shiny diamond ring and took her Prague. Waiting until the first chime of midnight on New Years Day 2010 Carl popped the question with 50 Russian tourists witnessing the entire event!
Carl and Amy now both live in Edinburgh but wanted to get married at a place that was special to them both and had significance to their relationship. Having studied at St Andrews University they are able to wed in the beautiful St Salvator’s Chapel and I am really looking forward to their wedding later this year.
