    Jonathon 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.

Wedding Photography FAQs – Everything You Need to Know

How would you describe the style of your photos?

Discreet and relaxed, mainly combining natural/candid ‘documentary style’ photos of most of the day along with a few classic and captivating ‘wow-factor’ pictures of the newlyweds

Describe your approach to photographing people.

We are relaxed, friendly, professional, and fast, blending seamlessly into the background, taking shots of your event as it unfolds. Sometimes, we take a more ‘hands-on’ approach, offering gentle direction to ensure the pictures are taken quickly and smoothly.

What do you think distinguishes your work from other photographers?

We create timeless, natural, and unique photos, avoiding the use of ‘fashionable’ editing techniques and software/Instagram-style filters that can quickly look dated. Instead, we focus on clean, colourful, and natural pictures that will stand the test of time.

How far will you travel to photograph an event? I’m looking for a shooter who travels across Scotland. Can you help?

Yes, we’ll travel anywhere in Scotland and the North of England to photograph a couple getting married! We mainly cover events in the Lothian region but regularly travel the length and breadth of Scotland. Travel and overnight accommodation costs may apply if your event is taking place far from Edinburgh.

When will we receive our images?

During the off-peak season, January – February, your shots can be ready to view online in about a week. For events during the busier summer and Christmas seasons, we usually have the gallery ready to see by your first month’s anniversary. Occasionally, more time may be necessary if we’ve been particularly busy or on holiday. We will update you shortly after your wedding so you know when to expect your images.

I have more questions!
