I was honoured to be invited by Loren and Daniel to be their Gladsmuir Church wedding photographer.

Loren and Daniel were married in a Church of Scotland ceremony at the exquisite Gladsmuir Parish Church, East Lothian.

The celebrations were held in the wonderful Dalmahoy Hotel near Kirknewton, in West Lothian.

My photos, which tell the story of Loren and Daniel’s beautiful wedding day, are shared in the gallery below.

From the first consultation to the final gallery, they were professional, warm, and incredibly talented. He captured every special moment — the laughter, the little details — with such artistry and care.

On the wedding day, Jonathon blended in effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out beyond beautiful — every image tells a story, and we’ll cherish them for a lifetime.

Jonathon 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.

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.

Engagement photos at Gosford Estate

A few weeks before Loren and Daniel’s big day arrived, we met for a pre-wedding photoshoot at Gosford Estate in East Lothian.

After a few minutes in this gorgeous couple’s company, I knew their wedding day photos would look special.

Bridal preparations

The day’s coverage began with photos of the Bridal Party preparations at Loren’s parents’ house in Tranent, East Lothian.

Everyone was relaxed, the atmosphere was lovely, the excitement was building, and everyone looked happy.

Marriage ceremony at Gladsmuir Parish Church

Gladsmuir Church is only a few minutes’ drive from Tranent.

I’d never been to this exquisite church previously, though I’ve driven past it many times.

Daniel and the boys arrived and were in good form.

Everyone was happy and having a laugh. There were no signs of nervousness at all, and it was a pleasure to photograph everyone.

Beautiful Bride Loren looked radiant as she emerged from her chauffeur-driven car.

There were a few photos of Loren, her dad, and the bridesmaids, and then Loren was escorted into the church by her father.

The marriage ceremony was lovely. The minister was brilliant and made everyone feel at ease.

We did a quick confetti shower outside the church, and then everyone made their way to Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club near Kirknewton in West Lothian.

Dalmahoy Hotel Wedding Reception Photos

The fair weather allowed the newlyweds and guests to enjoy a glass of champagne outside while we shot a few photos of them next to the golf course at Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club.

Shooting Dalmahoy Hotel wedding photos is an absolute joy for an experienced photographer.

Nestled on the outskirts of Edinburgh, this historic 18th-century manor exudes elegance and charm, making it a dream location for capturing timeless memories.

Its sprawling grounds, manicured gardens, tree-lined paths, and rolling green hills provide an idyllic backdrop that feels straight out of a romantic fairytale.

Whether a candid shot of the couple walking hand in hand through the grounds or a dramatic portrait framed by the grand stone facade, every corner of Dalmahoy offers photographic magic.

The interior is equally stunning.

The grand staircase, intricate details, and the luxurious suites filled with natural light provide endless opportunities for intimate, sophisticated shots.

For ceremonies, the venue’s mix of traditional and contemporary spaces caters beautifully to both grand celebrations and intimate gatherings.

What makes Dalmahoy truly special for a photographer is the sense of timelessness.

Combining Scottish heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and the couple’s excitement creates a magical atmosphere that shines through every frame.

From soft golden-hour portraits to joyous group shots on the estate’s picturesque grounds, Dalmahoy makes every photo feel extraordinary.

It’s the perfect setting to create stunning, heartfelt images that couples will treasure forever.

I loved being their Gladsmuir Church wedding photographer.
