St Vincent’s Chapel Wedding Photographer. See 70 Inspiring Photos.

We were delighted when Augusta and Dan asked us to be their St Vincent’s Chapel wedding photographer, as we had often walked past this beautiful city centre wedding venue but had never, until now, had the pleasure of photographing a wedding there!

Nestled within the picturesque neighbourhood of Stockbridge, St Vincent’s Chapel is a true gem amongst the churches in our Edinburgh wedding venues.

Shooting these wedding photos in Edinburgh was a joy. The setting was ideal for Augusta and Dan to exchange vows surrounded by cherished family and friends.

Their wedding day was full of love, joy, and unforgettable moments, from when the church bells echoed through Stockbridge to the jubilant reception at the Ghillie Dhu.

Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, EdinburghZoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, Edinburghwouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!

Jonathon and Claire are the loviest 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.

Our day as St Vincent’s Chapel wedding photographer began at Augusta’s family home in the city centre, where the beautiful bride and her bridesmaids were getting ready for the big day.

There was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere as the ladies enjoyed being pampered by the hair and makeup stylists.

Groom Dan, looking smart in his kilt attire, was on hand to greet guests arriving at the church.

Under the guidance of Rev Bishop Strange, Augusta and Dan exchanged vows and were united in marriage in a beautifully moving church service filled with prayer and hymns.

As they left the church, we loved photographing a shower of soft confetti that fell on the newlyweds, and warm cheers of congratulations followed.

Afterwards, the happy couple were taken on their newlywed photoshoot using the charming and picturesque backdrop of Circus Lane, a quaint cobbled lane characterised by its beautiful rows of cute mews houses, climbing ivy and carefully tended flower boxes.

Their love was profoundly evident. They were natural and laid-back in front of the camera, making it a delight to photograph those precious memories.

The Ghillie Dhu, a former church nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, is steeped in history and brimming with charm.

Built in the 19th century, this Grade B-listed building originally served as St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church.

Over time, it transformed into one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after venues, blending its historic roots with contemporary elegance.

The name “Ghillie Dhu” is inspired by a mythical Scottish woodland spirit, adding a whimsical touch to its story.

This magical venue retains its original features, including intricate stonework, vaulted ceilings, and stunning arched windows, which bathe the space in soft, natural light.

The Auditorium, with its towering beams and romantic candlelight, provides a dramatic yet intimate setting for wedding celebrations.

It’s a space that effortlessly combines grandeur with warmth, creating the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

For photographers, a Ghillie Dhu wedding reception is a dream. Its historic architecture, paired with modern design elements, offers endless opportunities for unique and artistic shots.

The adjacent leafy gardens at Rutland Square, Princes Street and Edinburgh’s iconic cityscape add variety, making it ideal for capturing timeless portraits.

In summer, the venue truly shines, with its warm ambience complemented by long golden hours and soft evening light.

The Ghillie Dhu is more than a wedding venue—it’s a magical, storybook setting where your love story comes to life.

Speeches and cake-cutting celebrated an unforgettable reception at the Ghillie Dhu, a popular wedding venue in the city’s West End.

Laughter and joy filled the room, creating an uplifting atmosphere of palpable and contagious love and happiness.

Everyone danced the night away to the sounds of a live ceilidh band, the perfect ending to our day as St Vincent’s Chapel wedding photographer.

We’d love to hear from you if you need an experienced St Vincent’s Chapel wedding photographer!
