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 that added 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 myself 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 take photos of 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.
