Because you’d rather spend the whisky money on whisky you actually drink. A micro‑wedding (under 20 guests) keeps the focus on the two of you, trims the politics, and leaves room in the budget for killer photos, a cheeky dram or two, and that honeymoon on Skye.
As your Edinburgh City Chambers micro-wedding photographer, we promise to create fabulous photos of you on your wedding day, but don’t just take our word for it:

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Jonathon (Love Wedding Photos And Film) for our wedding. 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.
If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how to capture the heart and soul of your wedding, look no further. Jonathon (Love Wedding Photos And Film) is simply amazing!
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.
Every 45 min, 7 days a week – great for last‑minute elopers

The good bits (Pros)
Three rooms, three moods. Go classic with the Alexander Suite, airy and vintage chic in the European Room, or opt for basic and simple (and easiest on the wallet) in the Wee Neuk.
Wallet‑friendly. A registrar’s office ceremony is hands‑down the cheapest legal ‘I do’ in town.
Walk‑to‑everything. Cobblestones, closes, and castle backdrops are literally outside the door – no taxi meter running.
Short‑notice friendly. Because ceremonies run all day, you can often secure a date just 4 weeks in advance.
And the not‑so‑good (Cons)
Tourist traffic. It’s the Royal Mile; expect onlookers snapping shots of you on their phone.
Strict timing. You get 45 minutes; lateness = stress.
Registrar roulette. You meet your officiant on the day – no chance to pick a personality that suits you (though to be fair, all the Registrars are excellent at what they do).
(Not sure? Let’s chat – I’ll be honest if City Chambers isn’t right for you.)
