Award-Winning Wedding Photography
Hi, we’re Jonathon and Claire. Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by the endless advice on wedding photography styles? Torn between wanting the breathtaking, magazine-worthy wow-factor portraits you see online and craving the raw, candid emotion of unscripted storytelling?
We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise. We embrace the magic of Scottish landscapes and architecture and the real emotion of your day to offer the perfect blend of stylish editorial and natural documentary photography.
If you are looking for an award-winning Edinburgh wedding photographer to seamlessly capture your joyful, unscripted moments while providing gentle artistic direction for stunning editorial portraits, you are in the right place. Zero awkward posing. No stiff smiles. Just brilliant, authentic memories mixed with effortless elegance.
Vibrant, Modern Memories
We believe your wedding photos should look as vibrant and full of life as the day itself. As a dedicated Edinburgh wedding photographer duo, we specialise in bold, punchy, and colourful digital photography that captures the absolute best version of your celebration across the capital and throughout Scotland.
We don’t rely on moody filters that go out of fashion or the unpredictability and waiting time of analogue film fads. Instead, we use cutting-edge digital mastery to deliver razor-sharp, true-to-life colours that will look just as incredible in fifty years as they do today. We focus on uncovering the real, emotion-filled stories you might miss, while ensuring you still get those classic, timeless portraits you’ll proudly share and display.
The Perfect Blend: Editorial & Documentary Wedding Photography in Edinburgh & Scotland
Hate Having Your Photo Taken? We Completely Understand.
Let’s be honest: the thought of being posed for hours sounds like a nightmare, but you still want to look incredible in your photos. We completely agree. Our dual approach combines the very best of unobtrusive photojournalism with relaxed, gently guided portraiture.
Our secret to getting those amazing shots? For the vast majority of your day, we simply get to know people. We spend the day chatting with your family and making friends with your guests. By blending in and putting everyone at ease, we capture the real, unscripted joy exactly as it happens.
But when it comes time for your newlywed photos, we don’t just leave you guessing. We provide expert, gentle art direction to ensure you look effortlessly chic against the stunning backdrop of your venue. You get to truly enjoy the celebration, and we’ll make sure you look like royalty while you do.

Jonathon and Claire are the loveliest couple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From our very first communication they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours…
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.

Edinburgh Wedding Photography: Frequently Asked Questions
How would you describe your wedding photography style?
Our style beautifully blends a dual documentary and high-end editorial approach. We act as unobtrusive storytellers, documenting the authentic, unscripted moments of your day naturally, while also incorporating a sleek, editorial fine-art perspective for stunning, timeless portraits. You can read more in-depth about how we capture your unique story on our editorial and documentary wedding photographer page.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day in Edinburgh?
Ah, the famous Scottish weather! Honestly, a little Edinburgh mist or a passing shower often adds a beautiful, romantic atmosphere to your photos. We know all the best ‘rain-safe’ spots—from the elegant arches of the Signet Library to the grand interior of Mansfield Traquair. We’ll keep you dry, relaxed, and looking fabulous regardless of the skies!
Do you have experience with intimate Edinburgh elopements and City Chamber weddings?
Absolutely! We have a real soft spot for smaller celebrations. Whether you’re planning a secret escape for two or a chic ceremony at the Edinburgh City Chambers, we offer tailored packages to suit your day. We love capturing the quiet, candid moments that make these intimate days so special—check out our Edinburgh elopement guide for some of our favourite local hidden gems.
We’re a bit camera-shy—how do you help us feel relaxed for our portraits?
Most couples tell us they’re nervous—that is completely normal! Because we don’t do stiff poses, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you forget the cameras are there. We also highly recommend an engagement photoshoot. It’s a wonderful way to wander through Edinburgh together and see how relaxed the process actually is!
How long will it take to see our final wedding photos?
We know how excited you’ll be to relive the magic! We typically share a few ‘sneak peeks’ within a few days of your wedding so you can share them with friends and family. Your full, beautifully edited gallery is usually ready within 4 weeks (often in 7 days), depending on the season. After that, we can even help you design a wedding album to preserve your memories in a stunning, physical heirloom.
Can you recommend the best photo locations in Edinburgh for our couple shots?
We certainly can! Edinburgh is a photographer’s dream, and we know the city inside out. From the historic charm of Victoria Street and the Royal Mile to the epic views at Calton Hill or Arthur’s Seat, we’ll guide you to the spots that match your style.
