Being Evita and Stuart’s Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo wedding photographer was one of the best wedding days we have photographed.

This wonderful wedding day took place on a gloriously sunny Saturday in October.

The air was crisp, and the leaves on the trees looked beautiful in their autumnal colours of rusty red, brown, and orange.

Some may say an Edinburgh Zoo wedding is perhaps not your typical wedding venue, but it’s probably one of the wildest places to get married in Edinburgh and was the perfect choice for our lovely couple.

The Mansion House at Edinburgh Zoo is in a great location, with excellent transport links from Edinburgh Airport and the city centre.

The adjacent hotel offered the ideal accommodation for family and friends travelling to celebrate with Evita and Stuart.

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.

Julia and Stephen

Jonathon and Claire were an absolute dream to have as our photographer and videographer. We absolutely treasure every photo and our wonderful video. We would recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film to any couple who are looking for natural, joyful photos that capture each moment just as it is.

We can’t thank you both enough.

Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo Wedding Photos

Here are some of our favourite Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo wedding photos from Evita and Stuart’s wonderful day.

Our day as Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo wedding photographer started with the groomsman, Stuart, and his best man at the hotel.

We took photographs of the boys as they got ready in their fantastic highland kilt outfits.

Stuart was a little nervous but charming, witty, and fun.

We loved Stuart’s wedding ring, a unique ‘Transformers’ ring specially imported from America.

Leaving the boys to relax before meeting and greeting guests, we walked to the Mansion House to get stuck into a fabulously full-on day as Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo wedding photographer, where our beautiful bride, Evita, was getting ready for her wedding day.

Jonathon stayed with the girls, capturing all the detailed photographs of Evita’s stunning wedding dress, her fabulously different white wedding boots, her bridal ‘book’ bouquet, and her beautiful jewellery and hair accessories.

I took candid photographs as guests arrived, welcomed by the skirl of the bagpipes.

Beautiful Evita, wearing her elegant ivory wedding dress with lace detailing, tied the knot with Stuart in a Humanist ceremony by Lesley Simpson of Humanist Society Scotland.

Their wedding ceremony was held in the gorgeous MacMillan Room of the Mansion House (also known as ‘The Blue Room’).

It was a beautifully personable marriage ceremony bursting with love and laughter.

Have you been to a wedding where there is a ring-warming ceremony?

Each guest gets a chance to hold the wedding rings and make a wish or blessing for good luck as our happy couple starts their next chapter as husband and wife.

We loved it when guests were asked to give each other a ‘Mexican cuddle’—it was lovely to watch the wedding guests embrace each other. It was such a novel idea and a real ‘ice breaker’!

With all the legal formalities taken care of, Evita and Stuart, now husband and wife, made their way with their guests and congregated for a group photo on the staircase of the Mansion House.

Guests moved into the bar area of the Mansion House, where they enjoyed drinks and canapes.

I created some fabulous candid photos of the guests enjoying themselves while Jonathon took a few of the family and guests back to the Blue Room for a small selection of formal ‘group photos’.

Jonathon then whisked our couple away from their guests for their newlywed photoshoot on the beautiful grounds of the Mansion House.

Evita and Stuart enjoyed a special time with their wedding guests at the Mansion House.

Evita and Stuart had a Halloween-themed wedding reception.

And they didn’t hold back when we said there was a Halloween theme!

It is a step away from the norm, but a refreshing change and a joy to see.

From trick-or-treat sweetie bags to Halloween-themed snow globes, orange bows on the backs of chairs, and a ‘death do us part’ wedding cake, this bride and groom had it all covered.

With no ‘formal’ speeches, our beautiful bride, Evita, said a few heartfelt words, thanking her wedding guests for being with them on their special day and how much it meant to her and Stuart.

Evening entertainment ended with a bang as our newlyweds cut their three ‘drip-style’ wedding cakes by Cuckoo’s Bakery.

In keeping with the Halloween theme, ‘Death do us part’ was written on the cakes.

Evita and Stuart stabbed the knife in as guests cheered their congratulations!

There’s only one thing to say about our newlyweds’ first dance: it was excellent, superbly choreographed and fun.

Hands down, it was one of the best first dances we have ever seen!

There’s no other way to say it; Evita just went for it.

She was sexy and sassy and didn’t hold back.

At one point, Stuart looked like he had had enough and was walking off the dance floor. Then the DJ cut from one song to the next, and all hell broke loose!

Cue lots of ‘air-guitar’ and ‘head-banging’! It was brilliant, and everybody loved it!

The way the happy couple looked at each other and danced together was fantastic, and they rocked.

As guests cheered and clapped, laughed and cried, our newlyweds got lost with each other in their special moment.

Evita and Stuart were simply a delight to be around.

Laidback, easy-going, and full of love and warmth.

It was a fabulous end to our day as Mansion House Edinburgh Zoo wedding photographer!
