Edinburgh Elopement

On the outskirts of Edinburgh, amidst the captivating Pentland Hills, a unique and unforgettable wedding unfolded, providing an enchanting backdrop for a celebration of love. As a wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the emotional moments of this extraordinary event, which was attended by tearful and joyful guests hailing from diverse corners of the globe.

Tilly & Cal’s choice of the Pentland Hills as the venue added a touch of mystique to the ceremony. The fog that blanketed the landscape created an ethereal atmosphere, transforming the surroundings . The weather, while challenging, added an unexpected charm, allowing for truly unique and atmospheric photographs. The Edinburgh cityscape came into full view just in time for the ceremony, which acted as an incredible backdrop.

Dovecot Studios is one of Edinburgh’s many hidden gems. What an incredible place to get married. The building was initially built to house The Infirmary Street Baths, which were the first public baths in Edinburgh, built in 1885 by Robert Morham.

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, Dovecot Studios provided an enchanting canvas for the couple's love story. The historic venue, with its exposed brick walls and high ceilings adorned with contemporary art, set the perfect stage for a wedding that seamlessly blended tradition with modernity.

Fingal Ship Wedding

I had such an amazing experience photographing Katie & Blair’s incredible wedding on Fingal. I mean, how many people can say that they got married on an actual shipt!? Not many! Well, Katie and Blair are now those people. They did it!

I was really excited for this wedding for a while as it’s always fun to shoot a venue that I’ve never photographed before, but when that venue is a real boat in Edinburgh, I was a little extra excited.

Having said that, the venue is only a small part of any venue. It’s all about the shipmates, and this vessel had a fine bunch of sailors aboard… I’ll stop with the nautical chat now, I promise!

Katie and Blair are such an awesome couple and it was a total privilege to be part of their amazing wedding day. Everything about their wedding was so good. The laughs, the emotional ceremony, the brilliant speeches and the exceptional dancing. What a day!

The Caves, Edinburgh Wedding
The Caves, Edinburgh Wedding

An awesome winter wedding at one of Edinburgh’s most unusual wedding venues… The Caves. This location is truly unique and one of Scotland’s hidden gems. Nestled away down an alley in the Cowgate area of the city, it’s tough to find, but once you walk through the doors you are transported to a dark and gothic little cathedral of happiness. It’s surrounded by so many historic and beautiful locations, so it’s absolutely perfect for a wedding at any time of the year. This venue is well suited to couples that are maybe a little alternative and want to escape tradition. That’s exactly what Rebekah and Alasdair did… and it worked perfectly for this amazing bride and groom.
