Being Ashleigh and Matt’s Edinburgh Castle wedding photographer was one of the highlights of our year.

As a seasoned pro at shooting Edinburgh Castle wedding photos, it’s always exciting to return to two of the best Edinburgh wedding venues in one day!

Beautiful bride Ashleigh and her handsome groom Matt were married at St. Margaret’s Chapel in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland’s top visitor attraction.

They then held their wedding reception nearby at The Balmoral Hotel (see our real weddings at The Balmoral Hotel captured beautifully.

Edinburgh Castle Wedding Photographer 5-Star Reviews

We guarantee you fantastic service and beautiful, elegant wedding photos when you choose us as your Edinburgh Castle wedding photographer. But don’t just take our word for it:

Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, Edinburghwouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!

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.

Bridal Preparations at the Balmoral Hotel

My coverage of this fabulous day as Edinburgh Castle wedding photographer began with photographing the latter stages of beautiful bride Ashleigh and her girls’ preparations at The Balmoral Hotel.

The fizz was flowing, and the atmosphere was great. It was good fun to be there and to photograph the girls at this wonderful venue.

Edinburgh Castle Wedding Photos

Groom Matt is a Captain in the British Army, and what better place to get married than one of the best-known British military garrisons, Edinburgh Castle?

Edinburgh Castle weddings feature in our venue guide.

A wonderful ceremony was held in St. Margaret’s Chapel, a tiny but exquisite chapel with approximately 22 people.

St Margaret’s Chapel is one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh, and its history adds to its romance.

Shooting Edinburgh Castle wedding photos is a privilege that never loses its magic, no matter how often you experience it.

As an experienced Edinburgh Castle wedding photographer, photographing a couple’s love story in such an iconic setting is a true joy.

Edinburgh Castle, perched atop its volcanic rock, offers a spectacular backdrop steeped in history, grandeur, and romance.

From the moment you step onto the castle grounds, the sense of occasion is palpable—it’s a place where time seems to stand still.

The castle’s dramatic architecture, cobbled courtyards, and panoramic city views create endless opportunities for breathtaking photos.

Whether it’s the couple sharing a private moment under the grand gates, the light glinting off the historic stone walls, or the sweeping views over the city and beyond to the Firth of Forth, every corner offers something extraordinary.

Sunsets are especially magical, bathing the buildings in golden hues and adding a dreamlike quality to your Edinburgh Castle wedding photos.

As a photographer, the castle’s versatility is unmatched.

The timeless charm of St Margaret’s Chapel, the intimacy of the Crown Square, or the grandeur of the Great Hall all lend themselves to beautiful Edinburgh Castle wedding photos.

Working in such an iconic venue pushes you to be creative while ensuring you do justice to the breathtaking setting and the couple’s vision.

Edinburgh Castle isn’t just a venue for couples—it’s an unforgettable experience.

It’s a place where history and romance collide, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere.

Capturing their lovely newlywed photos in such a setting is a privilege, and seeing their faces light up as they relive those moments through your lens makes the job truly special.

Edinburgh Castle transforms every wedding into a masterpiece; as an Edinburgh Castle wedding photographer, it’s a joy to bring that magic to life.

After the St. Margaret’s Chapel ceremony, it’s always great to observe the newlyweds being congratulated and cheered by the ever-present tourists visiting Edinburgh Castle daily.

Newlyweds Ashleigh and Matt must have felt like film stars being photographed by paparazzi!

Wedding reception at the Balmoral Hotel

What an exciting wedding day, ending at the Balmoral Hotel, only a few minutes from Edinburgh Castle.

One of Edinburgh’s five-star luxury hotels, The Balmoral, was the perfect setting for the wedding breakfast, speeches, and evening celebrations.

When we left the Balmoral Hotel, a live band played, ensuring the guests would be partying into the night.
