Choose us as your wedding photographer in East Lothian and we’ll provide outstanding photos and award-winning service. But don’t just take our word for it:

Rachel and Keiran

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.

Jude and Ahmet

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.

Julia and Stephen

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.
