Let’s create truly magical and timeless images you’ll treasure for a lifetime!

You’re looking An experienced Photographer
You can trust us. Working with over 700 couples since 2006, we’ve mastered the art of bringing out the very best in people.
From Edinburgh’s iconic Old Town to the dramatic views of Calton Hill and beyond, we know how to work with these unique settings and ever-changing light to create stunning, timeless images that reflect your love story.
Edinburgh Is A Photographer’s Paradise
Being Edinburgh wedding photographers is having the ultimate office in the world. Edinburgh is a dream city—historic, romantic, and full of character. We never tire of posing couples against the epic skyline of Arthur’s Seat, the fairytale beauty of the Royal Mile, or the windswept romance of Calton Hill.
Making the Most of Edinburgh’s Light and Seasons
Even after all these years, the light in Edinburgh surprises us. One moment, it’s golden and soft, casting a warm glow over cobbled streets; the next, it’s moody and atmospheric, creating a cinematic feel. And the seasons? They completely change the mood. A winter elopement in the frost-kissed streets of Edinburgh (or photographing our newlyweds with reindeer!) feels entirely different from a summer photoshoot in the lush Princes Street Gardens.
Every Love Story is Different
No two weddings are ever the same. One day, we might photograph a couple eloping quietly from halfway around the world; the next, we’re in a grand Scottish castle surrounded by ceilidh dancers. Every couple brings their own energy, quirks, and connection — and that keeps our work endlessly exciting.
Capturing the Real You
We love getting to know our couples, hearing how they met, what brought them to Edinburgh, and what makes their story unique. Whether it’s a shy smile or a big, joyful laugh, we’re there to capture it.
The Beauty of the Unexpected
Scottish weddings have a delightful unpredictability. Maybe it’s a surprise rain shower that turns into the most romantic set of photos, or a spontaneous street dance to the sound of a lone bagpiper. The best shots often come from moments we couldn’t plan — and that’s exactly why we love what we do.
The Honour of Capturing Once-in-a-Lifetime Moments
We never take for granted the trust couples place in us. These photos will be looked at for decades, shown to future generations, and revisited on anniversaries. Being chosen to preserve these memories is an honour we’ll never tire of.
More Than Just Photographers — We’re Storytellers
Over the years, many of our couples have become lifelong friends. Sometimes, we even capture their anniversaries, family portraits, or other milestones. For us, it’s not just about taking pictures — it’s about creating a connection and telling a story you’ll cherish forever.
Venues We Love in Edinburgh and Beyond
We regularly photograph weddings at the best wedding venues in Edinburgh, including The Balmoral Hotel, The Caledonian Edinburgh, Carlowrie Castle, Dundas Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh City Chambers, The George Hotel, Mansfield Traquair, Norton House Hotel, Prestonfield House, Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and The Signet Library, but we also love discovering new locations. Wherever your wedding takes place, we know how to make the most of it.
Your Day, Your Way
From First Chat to Final Album
Your day is about joy, laughter, and connection; we’re there to capture it all, artfully and honestly. From spontaneous giggles to heartfelt tears, we ensure that the candid moments, genuine reactions, and little details you’ve so lovingly planned are preserved forever.
We’ll photograph those timeless family portraits and elegant couple shots while ensuring the process feels effortless and fun. We keep it light, Jonathon whisking you away for a few newlywed pictures while Claire mingles with your family and friends to capture the fun and excitement. Before you know it, you’ll be back celebrating with your loved ones, knowing you’ve got some outstanding pictures coming your way.
Our expertise as your Edinburgh wedding photographer enables us to tailor our approach to your day’s unique flow, giving you the confidence to relax and enjoy it.
Let’s make magic together—relaxed, beautiful, and truly you.

Rachel and KeiranJonathon did a fantastic job with our photos and video. He captured the day perfectly! We got a video of the ceremony, speeches and first 3 dances which Jonathon was able to do himself with cameras set up and it was amazing to see after. I highly recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film and will use them in the future for any photographer needs I have.

Jude and AhmetJonathon recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our families were also extremely pleased and have been creating montages and framing the photos. Jonathon put us at ease and was professional and friendly and created lots of shots in such a short space of time. The communication before hand and after was great especially as there was last minute changes to our wedding. I would definitely recommend. Many thanks.
