A Grand Setting: The Caledonian Edinburgh Hotel

The Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh has always symbolised grandeur. For Keeley and Attilio, its stunning architecture and breathtaking city views made it the perfect setting for their special day. It’s a dream venue for any couple wanting a luxury Edinburgh wedding.

An Elegant Ceremony Full of Joy

Our photography coverage began just before the ceremony. We captured groom Attilio and his best men outside the hotel’s impressive entrance, all looking brilliant in matching grey suits and clearly in high spirits.

The moment everyone was waiting for arrived as Keeley began her walk down the aisle. She was a breathtaking sight in her ethereal white gown by Sottero & Midgley, radiating beauty as she walked arm in arm with her proud father.

Keeley and Attilio made their love official in a beautiful civil ceremony, joined by their friends and family. The room was filled with joy and love as the newlyweds exchanged vows and sealed their commitment with a tender kiss.

Princes Street Gardens Wedding Photos with a Castle Backdrop

After the “I do’s,” guests enjoyed an elegant drinks reception, and it was wonderful to see everyone celebrating the newlyweds.

We then took Keeley and Attilio to the nearby Princes Street Gardens for their newlywed photoshoot. This is a truly romantic and magical place for wedding photos, offering a spectacular backdrop of Edinburgh Castle standing tall and proud. They looked so in love; their eyes sparkled with happiness. Capturing their affection for each other against such an iconic Scottish view was an absolute joy.

An Evening of Celebration at The Caledonian

The perfect day continued with an evening of celebration. The reception featured heartfelt and emotional speeches, a delicious meal, and the newlyweds’ first dance as husband and wife. They were soon joined on the dance floor by their loved ones—the perfect ending to The Caledonian Edinburgh wedding they had dreamed of.

Caledonian Edinburgh Wedding Photographer 5-Star Reviews

As your Caledonian Edinburgh wedding photographer, we promise you fantastic photos and outstanding service, but don’t just take our word for it:

  • wedding photographer at Dundas Castle: a couple wearing wedding attire gazes into each other's eyes and smiles, standing outdoors with a blurred natural background. The man wears a gray suit and green tie; the woman wears a white fur shoulder wrap.

    We had a great time and felt so comfortable!

    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.
