Jonathon did a fantastic job with our photos and video. He captured the day perfectly! We got a video of the ceremony, speeches and first 3 dances which Jonathon was able to do himself with cameras set up and it was amazing to see after. I highly recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film and will use them in the future for any photographer needs I have.

Jonathon recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our families were also extremely pleased and have been creating montages and framing the photos. Jonathon put us at ease and was professional and friendly and created lots of shots in such a short space of time. The communication before hand and after was great especially as there was last minute changes to our wedding. I would definitely recommend. Many thanks.

Jonathon and Claire were an absolute dream to have as our photographer and videographer. We absolutely treasure every photo and our wonderful video. We would recommend Love Wedding Photos and Film to any couple who are looking for natural, joyful photos that capture each moment just as it is.

We can’t thank you both enough.

I photographed Helen and Bram’s wedding at Dalhousie Castle a few days earlier.

A ‘trash the dress’ shoot is a post-wedding photoshoot where we have more time to shoot photos of the bride and groom wearing their wedding outfits in an unusual location.

It doesn’t have to involve trashing the dress, but it generally involves a more dramatic photo session and getting it dirty!

Helen and Bram wanted dramatic and exciting photos, so they asked if we could shoot photos on and around Arthur’s Seat.

Literally at the top of Arthur’s Seat! I leapt at the chance to create photos there.

It’s one of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks and not somewhere I’ve ever seen wedding photos taken before (I’ve shot plenty of photos around the lower parts of Arthur’s Seat, but never 822 feet up at the top!).

On their wedding day, Bram presented Helen with an engraved sword.

The sword was brought along as a prop, adding more drama to our photoshoot.

Our trash-the-dress photography session began at the ruined St Anthony’s Chapel.

Then, onward and upward, I took a few photos of Helen and Bram standing on top of rocks with Edinburgh in the background.

Arthur’s Seat was busy with walkers who wanted to congratulate the newlyweds!

We reached the summit of Arthur’s Seat. It was the windiest I’ve ever experienced up there and undoubtedly the windiest conditions I’ve experienced during a photoshoot!

We got some fantastic photos with Helen and Bram standing near (not too close) the sheer drop, with Edinburgh Old Town in the distance.

Theatrical photos are precisely what we wanted.

Then, a few photos of Bram ‘helping’ Helen climb the rocks to the summit.

Bystanders shot plenty of photos. I reckon Helen and Bram were the most photographed couple in Scotland yesterday!

On the way back down the hill, we took different routes.

I went back down the route I had come up. Helen and Bram took a slightly different path.

This allowed me to view them from the side, in profile, during their descent.

Helen was great, holding the sword above her head and getting into the photo session!

Our photoshoot ended in true ‘trash the dress’ style.

Helen wanted a photo of her in the water at St Margaret’s Loch.

It was an icy wind, and the water was cold, so we discussed ensuring Helen wouldn’t be in it for long.

We created some extraordinary photos, and the nearby swans were quite nosy, managing to get into the back of the photo.

It is a nice end to an amazing day as a trash the dress photographer.
