The Glasshouse Wedding Photographer. See 100 Beautiful Photos Of Jo and Al’s Fabulous Day.

What a great time I had recently shooting photos as Joanne and Alan’s The Glasshouse wedding photographer.

The Glasshouse is a boutique hotel located in Edinburgh city centre and was the perfect setting for Joanne and Alan’s elopement in Edinburgh.

I’ve photographed many enjoyable weddings at The Glasshouse Hotel.

If the weather had been sunny, the ceremony and photoshoot would have taken place outside on the roof garden. However, as it was a bit of a rainy day, it was decided to play it safe and hold the ceremony indoors.

Fortunately, we can still shoot natural wedding photography as The Glasshouse is versatile enough to offer both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, EdinburghZoe 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.

Being an experienced The Glasshouse wedding photographer is pure joy.

This unique venue is a dream backdrop for wedding photography, offering a magical blend of modern design, historic charm, and breathtaking views.

Located in the city’s heart, The Glasshouse is a photographer’s playground, where every corner offers an opportunity to create stunning images.

The venue’s signature feature, its two-acre rooftop garden, is spectacular.

Imagine photographing a couple surrounded by lush greenery, with Edinburgh’s iconic skyline and Calton Hill as their backdrop for the wedding photos.

It’s a setting that combines natural beauty with urban sophistication, perfect for capturing romantic moments.

The soft light that floods the garden, especially during golden hour, creates a warm, ethereal glow, adding extra magic to every shot.

Inside, The Glasshouse boasts sleek, contemporary interiors paired with historic touches, like the restored façade of the 19th-century Lady Glenorchy Church.

The floor-to-ceiling windows flood spaces with natural light, creating bright, airy conditions for indoor photos.

These design elements create a perfect contrast, allowing couples to shine in modern elegance while celebrating their timeless love.

What truly makes shooting The Glasshouse wedding photos special is its intimacy and exclusivity.

Couples can enjoy private spaces, allowing emotional, authentic moments to unfold naturally.

From the quiet joy of pre-ceremony preparations to the first look under the open sky, every moment feels like it belongs in a storybook.

As an experienced photographer, you learn to spot and capture these fleeting moments, and The Glasshouse delivers them in abundance.

The joy of working here lies in its versatility and beauty—no two weddings look alike, yet every single one feels magical.

For couples seeking breathtaking wedding photos, The Glasshouse is a venue where memories and masterpieces are effortlessly created.

Unfortunately, we had torrential rain for Joanne and Alan’s wedding day.

No worries. The interior of The Glasshouse has an intimate and modern feel, which is wonderful for creating photos.

Joanne and Alan were married in a lovely personal Humanist wedding ceremony.

I loved how Joanne and Alan met and decided to get married in Scotland.

This was a relaxed ceremony, which was a pleasure to photograph.

I love the intimate bar area within The Glasshouse Hotel.

Its open-flame fire makes it a great place to sit and enjoy a wee dram or two.

Also, it’s a relaxing place for a few newlywed photos!

I also loved the staircase and upper landing area.

The window in some of the photos is part of the original fascia of the building, which was retained and integrated with the modern glass and steel building that makes up the rest of the hotel.

As you can see in these The Glasshouse wedding photos, even if it is raining on your wedding day, with the right The Glasshouse wedding photographer, you can rest assured you will still be able to shoot some great photos.

The Glasshouse was a great place to be, a lovely private and tranquil setting right in the middle of a busy city centre.

Congratulations to Joanne and Alan.

I look forward to returning as The Glasshouse wedding photographer again very soon!
