Read More - Olivia and NeilCouldn’t recommend this dream team enough!
Jonathon and Claire were recommended to us by our wedding organiser and they were an absolute dream to work with. Offering a pre-wedding shoot is such a great idea because it meant we were totally at ease on the wedding day and that shines through in all of our photos. Thank you so much for capturing some of the smallest and most precious moments of the day as well as the big bits. Couldn’t recommend this dream team enough!

Jonathon and Claire were the photographers for our wedding and they did a fantastic job. They were relaxed but also very professional, and we are delighted with our photographs and video.
Read More - Naomi and MichaelIt was one of the best things we did and we are so happy we went with Jonathon Fowler
We were not planning on a wedding film but having spoken to some friends and colleagues, we were convinced it would be worth it. In the end, it was one of the best things we did and we are so happy we went with Jonathon Fowler. His work is incredibly professional and of such a high quality. The film captures entirely different elements to the day and compliments the photographs perfectly. From the ceremony, the endless laughter and the speeches, the film will be one of the things we watch with great fondness for years and years to come.
Read More We’re genuinely blown away with the quality of the album, the work you put into the photos and the composition. You put us at ease, we felt you listened to us and were attentive to exactly the style we were looking for. You really went the extra mile on the day. We’re very grateful.

Jonathon took the photographs of my daughter’s wedding. The formal photographs of the ceremony are superb. He was able to organise the post-ceremony family and participant pictures quickly and painlessly. Jonathon was also able to capture the casual and important moments that mean so much as time goes by. I highly recommend him.

Dunglass Estate photography and videography frequently asked questions
We advise you to contact us as soon as possible. Our diary has bookings up to three years ahead, with bank holidays and weekends being the most popular booking dates. Contact us when you have chosen your wedding day and check our availability.
Our wedding photo prices are really straightforward. Choose Jonathon working alone or both Jonathon and Claire working together. We can cater for small weddings with as little as one hour of coverage, up to full-day coverage, beginning with pre-ceremony preparations in the morning and continuing to the evening dancing and fireworks. Get in touch with your details to discuss your requirements and check availability.
Our Dunglass Estate wedding photography prices are based on full or half-day coverage and whether you hire Jonathon and Claire together or Jonathon can cover your day alone. Our prices for photography at Dunglass Estate can be viewed right here on our website.
Since 2006, we have been honoured to photograph and film over 600 weddings across Scotland, from simple elopements to multi-day Asian weddings. We are one of the highest-rated photography companies on Google. Our years of experience and outstanding customer service resulted in being awarded Best Photography in Scotland South East at the Scottish Wedding Awards. We also consider it an honour to be an approved shooter at many of Edinburgh and Scotland’s best places to get married, including being a recommended shooter at the fabulous Dunglass Estate. We’re humbled to be trusted by fellow professionals to work in these prestigious settings.
We certainly are! Our comprehensive insurance includes public liability, professional indemnity, and equipment insurance. We also have separate drone insurance. You should consider taking out comprehensive wedding insurance. It doesn’t cost much in the big scheme of getting married and can cover you for most mishaps.
If you value the total coverage of your wedding day, then yes, two photo shooters are better than one. A single shooter cannot be in two places simultaneously. For our typical pre-ceremony coverage at Dunglass Estate, Jonathon can photograph the groom getting ready in the cottages while Claire is photographing the bridal party preparations in Sea View House. For those once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities, two cameras offer the best coverage; during your ceremony in Dunglass Church, Claire can photograph your family and guests’ reactions while Jonathon captures your first kiss as newlyweds. Claire can photograph candid shots of your family and guests enjoying the champagne reception while Jonathon takes care of the newlywed photos around Dunglass Estate. Two shooters aren’t mandatory or always necessary. However, we recommend our wedding packages for the best coverage, where both Claire and Jonathon cover your day together.
You receive your photos via two delivery methods. The first is via digital download, where you can download your photos and save them to any device. You can even share the download with family and friends. The second delivery method is via our private and secure online gallery. We stopped supplying photos on DVDs, CDs and USBs because these are not as convenient. Our delivery is instant and can be shared with anyone you choose as often as you wish. No waiting for the post. No sharing the same CD, DVD or USB drive and then waiting for it to be returned to you. And so many devices no longer have a USB port or CD/DVD drive that these formats quickly become obsolete. We keep your download link active for at least one year, and your gallery is kept active indefinitely, providing you with a reliable backup of your photos at no extra cost. Your web gallery is excellent; you can order fantastic prints and wall art of your photos directly from the gallery.
Delivery times can vary from a few days to several weeks, depending on what time of year you get married. The average delivery time for a full wedding day is approximately two weeks. After your wedding day, we’ll keep you updated with the editing schedule, and as soon as your photos are ready to view, we’ll email you the login details.
