We are delighted to share the wonderful day we had photographing Lynn and Alex’s Liberton Kirk and Edinburgh George Hotel wedding.
We knew we would enjoy their company from meeting Lynn and Alex.
Before the wedding day, we met and chatted over coffee.
We learned more about our couple, including how they met and fell in love through meeting at their local church.
And the rest is history!
At our meeting, Lynn told us ‘we’re not photogenic’, and Alex said, ‘and we’re not lovey-dovey’…

Liberton Kirk and Edinburgh George Hotel wedding photos
Below are some of our favourite Liberton Kirk And Edinburgh George Hotel wedding photographs.
It’s natural to feel camera-shy; we understand how being in front of the camera can feel pretty daunting on your wedding day.
We reassured Lynn and Alex that everything would be great.
Most of our photos are candid and shot without you even realising the photos are being taken and advised them to relax, have fun and enjoy their special day.
We said they would be on such a natural high those big, happy smiles would come naturally.
Making it easy for us to capture some beautiful wedding photos.
Pre-ceremony preparations
Lynn and Alex’s Liberton Kirk wedding was on October’s cold and wet Saturday.
On the morning of the wedding, we made our way to photograph the bridal party preparations at Lynn’s parent’s house.
It was a full house as Lynn was joined by her parents, brother, fabulous bride squad of five bridesmaids, and makeup artist Lauren Gollan.
Our bride was happy and natural in front of the camera.
The atmosphere was happy and fun as Claire took candid photos, and the girls enjoyed this special time together.
Jonathon captured detailed photographs of Lynn’s stunning wedding dress, shoes, and gorgeous wedding flowers by Roseparks.
We said goodbye to the girls and drove to Alex’s flat, where Jonathon took photos of our groom and the boys getting ready.
Alex, wearing a smart three-piece grey suit, was helped by Lynn’s brother to pin his buttonhole onto his suit jacket.
A single white rose with green foliage and a vibrant burst of red berries perfectly complimented his wine-red silk tie.
It was time to get to the church with a quick look in the mirror.
Liberton Kirk wedding ceremony
Liberton Kirk is a beautiful church covered with ivy, looking very seasonal in a rich autumnal red.
Umbrellas were ready as the bridesmaids arrived in a car supplied by Maxwell Chauffeur Service.
Our beautiful bride, Lynn, made a stylish entrance in a black Range Rover with her dad.
Lynn looked radiant in her beautiful wedding dress by designer True Bride, supplied by Kudos Bridal of Edinburgh.
Her hair was styled in a classic chignon, and she wore killer black Jimmy Choo heels, which tied in perfectly with her bridesmaid’s black dresses.
The Christian wedding ceremony was exactly what Lynn and Alex wanted it to be: upbeat, full of personality and love.
Their marriage was celebrated warmly, like a large family gathering, and they celebrated with loved ones, amazing friends, and the wider Church community.
George Hotel wedding reception
After the family group and newlywed photos in the church, everyone went to The George Hotel in Edinburgh’s city centre.
We always love shooting wedding photos at the Edinburgh George Hotel.
This grand old building with its beautiful interior was the perfect setting to enjoy the champagne drinks reception.
We loved that Alex’s company had set up a dedicated area for kids to safely play and relax, with wigwams, toys, Xbox and plenty to keep them occupied while mum and dad enjoyed a glass of champagne.
After a traditional receiving line, guests were called by Toastmaster Morris King to take their seats in the magnificent Kings Hall.
Guests were upstanding, cheering, and clapping as our lovely newlyweds made their grand entrance, escorted by the piper to the top table.
Lynn presented the piper with a dram of whisky. He raised the quaich, Scotland’s ‘loving cup’ of friendship, and toasted the happy couple with best wishes.
After knocking back the amber nectar, he was on his way.
Guests listened and gave their undivided attention to heartfelt speeches from Lynn’s Dad, Jim, groomsman Alex and Alex’s best man, Christian.
Observing and photographing the family and guest’s reactions to the speeches was wonderful.
The evening celebrations proceeded with our happy couple cutting their wedding cake before family and friends.
Lynn and Alex took to the dancefloor for their first dance as husband and wife, with entertainment by the wedding band Sugar Honey.
They danced and giggled as they sang along to their special song.
What a wonderful day with a warm and friendly group of people.
We look forward to designing beautiful wedding albums for Lynn and Alex.
