LGBTQ Wedding Photographer for Rebecca and Becky’s Elopement in Edinburgh
Shooting photos as the most experienced LGBTQ wedding photographer in Edinburgh is always a pleasure.
I was honoured to be invited to photograph Rebecca and Becky’s same-sex elopement wedding in Edinburgh at one of our favourite small wedding venues.
The Alexander Suite at City Chambers is a very popular Edinburgh wedding venue thanks to its central location and beautiful setting.
Thank you Jonathon for creating beautiful memories for our special day. I’m not the most relaxed person in front of the camera but you really put us at ease with your professionalism, calmness and organisation. We aren’t too familiar with Edinburgh, but Jonathon managed to match how we wanted our photos to look with the best locations. The pictures that we have of the day are perfect, and they are everything that we wanted them to be. I would recommend to anyone, thank you again.

Civil marriage ceremony in The Alexander Suite
The girls arrived together for their wedding at Edinburgh City Chambers, very much in love.
They looked fantastic in their smart suits by King & Allen, with hair and makeup by MHM Styling.
They wore beautiful buttonholes by Narcissus Flowers, adding a vibrant pop of colour.
Rebecca and Becky had planned for it to be just the two of them on their special day, with Melanie from MHM Styling and me as witnesses to the marriage ceremony.
When the girls walked into the ceremony room, they were surprised to be joined by both of their Mums!
Holding hands throughout, ‘The Rebeccas’ exchanged marriage vows and rings.
The girls were beaming with happiness, and the room was filled with love and laughter.
Newlywed photos in the Old Town and Arthur’s Seat
After signing the marriage schedule and being announced as the new ‘Mrs and Mrs’, we took photos of the newlyweds and their Mums outside Edinburgh City Chambers before heading out to shoot a few photos nearby in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The girls looked fantastic next to their classic car.
We visited Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat to photograph the newlyweds. The wow-factor view provided the perfect backdrop for some fabulous photos and was a great way to end our coverage as a LGBTQ wedding photographer.
LGBTQ Wedding Photographer 5 Star Reviews
As an experienced candid wedding photographer, we’re honoured to be a City Chambers recommended photographer and would love to be there on your special day, promising you the very best photos and customer service, but don’t take our word for it:
We had a great time and felt so comfortable!
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.
We absolutely love our wedding pictures
Jonathon and Claire – we cannot thank you both enough for being the best – from start to finish, it has been a dream to work with you both! If you are reading this and considering booking – DO IT!!
Thank you both SO MUCH for everything, we absolutely love our wedding pictures and how beautifully you have captured our day and the memories we’ll have forever – we are still so blown away by how perfectly everything turned out and on an absolute high!
We also wanted to say how grateful we are to have had you both at our wedding. You were just such a joy to be around and put us both at ease.
You got us and the vibe of the day so perfectly, and our family and friends have also said how brilliant you both were! Thank you so much!!! Helen & Daniel xxx
