What Our Edinburgh Couples Say
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.

Why Edinburgh Is A Photographer’s Paradise
Being Edinburgh wedding photographers is having the ultimate office in the world. Edinburgh is a dream city—historic, romantic, and full of character. We never tire of posing couples against the epic skyline of Arthur’s Seat, the fairytale beauty of the Royal Mile, or the windswept romance of Calton Hill. We love the dramatic light and shadows of the Old Town’s narrow closes for creating intimate, atmospheric portraits.
Making the Most of Edinburgh’s Light and Seasons
Even after all these years, the light in Edinburgh surprises us. One moment, it’s golden and soft, casting a warm glow over cobbled streets; the next, it’s moody and atmospheric, creating a cinematic feel. And the seasons? They completely change the mood. A winter elopement in the frost-kissed streets of Edinburgh (or photographing our newlyweds with reindeer!) feels entirely different from a summer photoshoot in the lush Princes Street Gardens.
Every Love Story is Different
No two weddings are ever the same. One day, we might photograph a couple eloping quietly from halfway around the world; the next, we’re in a grand Scottish castle surrounded by ceilidh dancers. Every couple brings their own energy, quirks, and connection — and that keeps our work endlessly exciting.
Capturing the Real You
We love getting to know our couples, hearing how they met, what brought them to Edinburgh, and what makes their story unique. Whether it’s a shy smile or a big, joyful laugh, we’re there to capture it.
The Beauty of the Unexpected
Scottish weddings have a delightful unpredictability. Maybe it’s a surprise rain shower that turns into the most romantic set of photos, or a spontaneous street dance to the sound of a lone bagpiper. The best shots often come from moments we couldn’t plan — and that’s exactly why we love what we do.
More Than Just Photographers — We’re Storytellers
Over the years, many of our couples have become lifelong friends. Sometimes, we even capture their anniversaries, family portraits, or other milestones. For us, it’s not just about taking pictures — it’s about creating a connection and telling a story you’ll cherish forever.
Venues We Love in Edinburgh and Beyond
We regularly photograph weddings at the best wedding venues in Edinburgh, and we also love discovering new locations. Wherever your wedding takes place, we know how to make the most of it. Click on the venues to see our beautiful photos of real weddings there.

From First Chat to Final Album

We’ll photograph those timeless family portraits and elegant couple shots while ensuring the process feels effortless and fun. We keep it light, Jonathon whisking you away for a few newlywed pictures while Claire mingles with your family and friends to capture the fun and excitement. Before you know it, you’ll be back celebrating with your loved ones, knowing you’ve got some outstanding pictures coming your way.
Our expertise enables us to tailor our approach to your day’s unique flow, giving you the confidence to relax and enjoy it.
Let’s make magic together—relaxed, beautiful, and truly you.
