Introduction

It was great to be back photographing another wonderfully intimate City Chambers Edinburgh wedding ceremony. Sarah and Kenny chose Edinburgh’s leading civil wedding venue right in the heart of the Old Town.

I’ve met Kenny and Sarah a few times over the years as they are mutual friends with Tiffany and William, whose wedding I previously photographed at Norton House Hotel.

Civil ceremony in The Alexander Suite

My day started in The Alexander Suite of Edinburgh City Chambers with beautiful bride Sarah and her proud Dad.

Sarah looked incredible in a long gold dress, her hair styled with soft, loose waves, she looked so happy and relaxed.

Walking arm-in-arm with her Dad, carrying a beautiful bridal bouquet of white flowers, Sarah made her entrance and walked down the aisle.

Kenny couldn’t take his eyes off his Sarah!

Joined by both sets of parents, Sarah and Kenny exchanged wedding vows and wedding rings in a civil marriage ceremony. Then they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, a wonderful moment to capture.

Newlywed photos in the Old Town

After some formal photos of Sarah and Kenny with their parents, I took them for their newly-wed photoshoot. We started with a photograph on the staircase in the City Chambers, right in front of the impressive stain-glassed window, then moved outside.

It was a little bit rainy, but that didn’t dampen the mood! Sarah and Kenny were a delight to photograph, pure naturals in front of the camera as we explored the surrounding area together.

Their newly-wed photoshoot felt lovely and relaxed as Sarah and Kenny were so easygoing. I captured photographs of my bride and groom using the fabulous architecture of the city as an impressive backdrop for the photos. Our outdoor photos of the newlyweds started around the Quadrant at City Chambers, across to Parliament Square and on the steps of St Giles’ Cathedral.

The photos of Sarah and Kenny walking hand in hand down the historic Royal Mile in the rain are some of my favourites!

Celebratory drinks at the Radisson Royal Mile Hotel

The final photos of the day were taken at the nearby Radisson Royal Mile Hotel on George IV Bridge, where Sarah, Kenny and their parents enjoyed a celebratory drink.

Sarah – Edinburgh City ChambersJonathon was absolutely amazing on our wedding day

Jonathon was absolutely amazing on our wedding day - he had an extremely calm, organised, unobtrusive and professional manner which was invaluable on a rather stressful day! He was so knowledgeable in terms of recommending the best light and locations for our various photos, and was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the day. We received our photos in a very timely manner and with an amazing choice of colour or black and white. We love each and every one of them and our friends and families love them too - commenting on what a fantastic job Jonathon had done in capturing every moment and every tiny detail. We are delighted with our photos, and would highly recommend Jonathon for anyone considering wedding photography.

Kenny – Edinburgh City Chambersthe best photographer in town!

Jonathon delivered amazing photographs of our recent wedding at the city chambers register. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for the best photographer in town!
