Gladsmuir Church Wedding Photographer For Beautiful Newlyweds Loren And Daniel

After seeing my award‑winning wedding photography, Loren and Daniel invited me 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 at the Dalmahoy Hotel near Kirknewton, West Lothian.

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

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.

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 laughing. There were no signs of nervousness, 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 took a few photos of them by the golf course at Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club.

Shooting wedding photos at Dalmahoy Hotel 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 photographers is its 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.

Loren and Daniel were a pleasure to photograph and looked so happy together.
